Some advocates and families say they want that ban to end.A big unanswered question is whether it will be safe for public K-12 schools to reopen safely in the fall. The U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions held a hearing on the topic Wednesday.Plus, the Mall of America reopened after nearly three months.Sign up for 'The New Normal' newsletter.
