Pence stressed the need to reopen schools.
The vice president said the Trump administration will support Indiana, and all states, with the resources needed to open schools, and said that he doesn't want a lack of resources to stop schools from opening. The roundtable comes as Indiana's K-12 schools and higher education institutions prepare for the coming school year. Most of Indiana's colleges and universities have plans to resume in-person instruction, though many have amended their schedules to limit student travel and are developing robust protocols to test students for the novel coronavirus.
The roundtable on reopening was part of a daylong trip to Indiana for the vice president and second lady Karen Pence.
Nuts
So why is the 1st not going back into his school building in a few weeks. If it is unsave for the 1st, it is unsafe for all kids!!!
If it was your kids would you have them in school ?
Children should be kept safe snd protected in the midst of a deadly pandemic
Hey pence i think the best thing for you and trump is to have your rally in Jacksonville because what the heck do you have to lose! You fools!
As if pence had ever been right about anything.
Yes it's hard being a parent and being forced to have both parents work and not have school for the kids. Is it best for the kids? HELL NO.
The best thing for working families would have been to take this seriously from the beginning.
Yes! If kids stay home, how parents would go to work? And how the reopening would happen?
But no plans or funds
In other words, “Your kids aren’t my kids, so I don’t care.”
We lost our intelligence
Send your grandchildren first to a public school then.
Blarney
So Pence are your grandchildren going back to school? So children from other families that you don’t know where their family members have been can socialize with your grandchildren and then come home and give the Covid to your children and you and your wife.. is that your plan ..
I d love to see America come together in a civil suit, and sue your government Ass for bullshitting. Keep your kids safe. Keep each other safe. BLM United you stand America. 🙏🏼
History is doomed to repeat itself!
Mr. Vice President, since you have no plans and no clues how to fight COVID19 pandemic, now you want to put kids in risking their lives and their families?
You have turned into a monster. Jesus wept.
Wrong order!
Why do the Republicans want to up the body count. Is it their logic that mostly minorities will die?
Ask Alcoa Middle School in TN who had first positive in 2 days
Gonna be great when all the teachers get sick.
How about when schools open up he go sit in a class of 6yr olds all day and see wtf happen
if you had actually handled the pandemic properly from the start, this never would have been a problem
Hahaha! Actually the best thing for the United States is stopping the Pandemic. What idiots!
Are you nuts? Oh, yes I forgot.....
Why not pay parents, so they could stay home with their kids, & still be able to feed them. Teachers know they are just glorified babysitters now, risking their lives, some getting raises as combat pay. When teacher is sick, will the class quarantine & who will substitute?
I heard about this country. Isn't it the one with one of the worst presidents in the world and yet people are stupid enough to support him?
Will support schools with resources: Masks, Hand Sanitizer, Inc pay for teachers working a second shift....Tutors to help with OnLine teaching..... Hummmmmmm
What an idiot.
Let Pence teach for a week just to make sure its safe!
But our schools are more crowded than our federal pens. Roger Stone get to go home and we put the children in harms way. Bill Cosby should praise trump if he wants to be home by Labor Day
Schools closed when there were 43,000 cases. Today, there are over 4,000,000 but, sure, what we need right now is for schools to open. Spare me. 🙄🙄
But him and impeached Donnie aren’t sending their kids and grandkids back
Just had the idea that people should learn childcare in school... this wouldn’t be an issue if people know how to take care of their kids
Pediatrician opinions on kids going back to school.
Huh... Because I trust Mike Pense to be honest and trustworthy? Ummmmm No
Yes this makes sense! Just like everything opened up like the GOP suggested back a couple of months ago and now look where we are at! Cases are rising now.
Mike Pence is an imposter and probably a child molester. After all, he chose to be a running mate of them impeached President!
I say kill a few more off 😂😂😂😂 don't pay no attention I'm just being cynically serious.
In my little county of 140,000, our cases are at 1000 confirmed. There does not seem to be any antibody test effort, but it’s likely we have 10,000 active or recovered cases. We’re racing toward everyone being exposed.
He made this lie in Indianapolis yesterday and brought in Betsy DeVos for back up. Remember Pence used to be gov of the state, says he is pro life but doesn't mind sacrificing your kids to make Trump look good. And local media covered this which ended like a trump campaign ad
Parents call the shots for their kids not the government FOH
ONE MILLION NEW CASES IN 8 DAYS. UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE how stupid someone must be to think this administration's decision making is beneficial to anyone but themselves. GOPComplicitTraitors MurdererInChief
Keep your children as safe as you can from COVID-19. Keep them at home & out of an in-person learning environment, for now. Remote, online learning is temporary. Schools WILL reopen safely again. We can do this. Don’t worry. Your children will still fly.
In a school of 3000 if only 1/2 of 1% are asymptomatic, how longer before the 15 infect another 15 and the 30 infect another 30 etc etc etc. How long before teachers and staff get infected?
Best would be to get virus under control first
The today pharaoh who on the past kill children today is we're us here is!!
go to school but not a bar...“It’s not asking a lot of people to wear a mask, it really isn't,” Birx said. “It’s not asking a lot of people to not go to a bar for a few months.”
Send your grandchildren to public schools!
Re-open the endoctrination?
VP The CRIMINALS responsible for over 147,000 American deaths, and who have canceled their own GOP political conventions for fear of exposure to covid-19, now want to sacrifice/MURDER American children in an attempt to salvage their doomed campaign.
I would love to see the White House briefing that suggest there are no/limited Hazards for schools to open. Schools are not a daycare and most middle classworking families have been reset/lost there jobs. Plus, minorities are first fired and last hired (additional 7+months)
In fairness I understand that his wife is going to teach this year. Wanna bet though that being the VP wife is going to the get the cleanest of the clean jobs? Think that Trump would actually send Barron to a regular DC public school? Health first, school 2nd then jobs come.
It’s going to kill a lot of people. This man is a monster.
Didn't you also say, 'Let's open up the economy?“ Where has that gotten us Empty words from a soulless vessel and money worshiper!
Untill they all die.
Another Mr Bean in the White House!
RohnWBishop Getting Americans healthy first is more important for our working ⚒ families.
Can't wait to hear what they say after a month of rising numbers.
Yeah if there wasn’t anything that could KILL them in the schools...just asking if you would go in and teach a class or two?
Noooooo...It's the best thing for your political agenda !!
Let’s send his grandkids to PUBLIC SCHOOL first to see how it goes.
Don’t listen to these idiots
He continually ignores using the word safely.
If they can gather to riot + disrupt America for no good reason with no OUTBREAKS BECAUSE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY FROM IT THEY CAN GET KIDS BACK INTO SCHOOLS UNLESS OF COURSE THIS HAS BEEN THE PLAN ALL ALONG!
“It’s the best thing for your kids....our kids are staying home”....what Pence is really saying.
Sheeple
Sooo baron's school will be online but all the other kids have to go back to school.
Wish VP had a 8 yrs old kid..them we could have asked him to send his kid to school for 1 month...and then tell
I find if you do the exact opposite of this administration you’ll be fine.
If that were true why did realDonaldTrump cancel the RNC CONVENTION DUE TO COVID-19? schoolsreopening SchoolsMustShutdown schools Biden2020
Will his own spawn be going to school?
shut up Pence...big ass kisser.
The kids who survive will thank us,amirite?
thoughts on child labor mr vp?
And this muppet was in charge of the task force ?
When Baron Trump goes to school, *then* parents will think about sending their children to school.
Do the Pence children attend public school?
If schools are that important to the economy of this country then fund them like that. Millions of dollars are cut from education regularly. That doesn’t send a message of the importance of schools.
How about not acting as an echo chamber for this immoral regime? Stop quoting this shit without context or fact-checks. Where are your headline writers?
But not the best thing
Opposite Day!
Pence is a fool.
What is the plan when teachers start getting sick? Because it is going to happen.
Public school districts that won't open should issue vouchers so parents can choose to send their kids to school. In my area all the private schools are opening. Most people can't afford to send their kids there. The public schools have the money they should give it to the kids.
I don't see 'Wisely' in Pence's statement.
so if a child catches Covid19 and brings it home where a family member or family friend contracts it, who gets sued? the education department, the vice president, the president, the total TrumpAdministration? wrongful death or negligence causing bodily harm or death.
And the best thing for the re-election of realDonaldTrump and his minion VP
Said the guy who thinks his boss has handled this thing well so far.
Pence doesn’t know what the facts are. They’re still flying by the seat of their pants, just hoping they don’t have a bunch of sick kids on their hands.
In what way?
NO! VP the solution is to address the virus. TESTING! TURN AROUND IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS! CONTACT TRACING! Not sure why the Stable Genius can’t remember the words DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT! People will remember this and VOTE!
yes, it's super important for kids to go back to school, except for rich kids. they'll stay at home where it's safe.
I forsee lots of dead grammas and pepaws.
No, the best thing to move America forward will be Biden's inauguration as 46.
The kids will probably be fine.. but...
Why?
Well, you have to finish this level of the game before you can move onto the next. Level 1: Denial. Which you played way too long!! Level 2: Finally admitting we have a Pandemic. This where you are!! finish this...then move forward!
Idiot
Sure, if the whole ‘stop the spread of the virus so staff and student don’t get sick and die’ isn’t really your thing...which it’s not.
Sure it is Mike. Your concern for America's children is touching. Hopefully everyone will remember this come November & vote you out!
Its also the best place for the coronavirus to spread, idiot.
Well, unless they die from Covid. Rare, but it happens. Or have serious neurological consequences. Much less rare. Or bring Covid home, infect a parent or grandparent, and THEY die. That's not good for the kid, either. You heartless, incompetent corrupt ghoul. Pro-life? HAH
No, Mr. Pence, it is not when we cannot open the schools back up S A F E L Y yet. We need a vaccine before the schools can be opened up S A F E L Y!
They also said the best thing to move forward was opening the country back up and sending people to work, and look how that turned out.
Another nut case we don’t need to put our children are teachers cafeteria workers janitors anybody that could possibly get sick in these kind of conditions stop the craziness
Makes complete sense since even Barron trump is going back to school due to covid!!
“Indiana University will require all on-campus students to be tested.” How would this work? Doesn’t it take time for the results? In the meantime, what if the student is positive but doesn’t know? 🤔
Science hard at work.
isn't being happy and healthy the best for our kids?
EXCEPT his devils spawn will not be going to school
This one!
Why is he still able to do press conferences? He failed on Coronavirus task, now education when cases are through the roof! America's children will go to whatever school his grandchildren, kids, family are going to on taxpayers dime! Thought so!! I'm going to pray in a corner!🙏
We don't trust you, there isn't one part of this pandemic that you gotten right. When test take 5 to 14 days to get results how much more spread of Covid do you want... Best thing for children is slowing this pandemic....
Omg folllw science! Biden2020
fnmp
If we didn’t have COVID19
Opening up our schools again is the best thing for our kids, ' Pence said.'It's also the best thing for working families and it's the best thing families and it's the best thing to move America forward. '

Pence should send his grandkids & other young family members first to the reopened schools.
US to World Population Ratio4.24% US to World COVID 19 Infections Ratio26.10% US to World COVID 19 Death Ratio22.74% How could Americans trust and take advice from a failed administration that mismanaged and has politicized this pandemic crisis?
Then you need to get the virus under control, dude. So far your task force is failing miserably. Focus on adequate rates of testing with fast turnaround time and positivity 3% and then we'll talk...
What do the teachers say? 🤔
This is immoral for you to print.
Since when has the GOP been an advocate for education?
蠢货，为了选票太无耻了
He is certainly totally crazy
