Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Sunday broke with President Donald Trump’s criticism of federal guidelines for reopening schools amid the coronavirus pandemic, calling the recommendations the president described as tough, expensive and impractical “common sense.”
“But the key is, there has to be a posture of doing something, of action, of getting things going, putting a plan together for your specific school, for your specific district or for your classroom that ensures that kids are going to start learning again this fall,” she said. Adm. Brett Giroir, an assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services who serves as the administration’s coronavirus testing czar, also defended the recommendations Sunday, calling them “right on target.”
There is nothing common about putting children in danger. It’s called murder. 🤬
Wtf is up with her skin? Looks like she didn't put it on properly in that photo
I-D-I-O-T!

Why does Betsy Devos call for CDC's guidelines' 'common sense' though Trump categorized her guidelines as too onerous. This outreach is directed not at Covid-19, but 'looks economically sound' as an economy craters. This risks children's lives for a political show and tell.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!!!

Discount totally this self serving woman !
Fail
But you are not going by CDC...CDC says masks, you say its up to them if they want to wear masks, then another district says no masks for children K-12 and that is in a hotspot.
Parents will do anything to keep their kids safe
Bull. It's not safe. There will be staff that die, people! And some children!
she didn't bother to read CDC guidance nor participate in its development
Guarantee you she would not send her kids/grandkids/great grandkids back 2 school
My father always taught me you can't fix stupid, so don't even try. Poor entitled Betsey, if she believes this maybe she should go work as a teacher for a month. Doubt she would put her health on the line.
I would think it should depend on the severity of the outbreak in a school’s area.
Has anybody asked the children what they want to do do they want to go back to school? I think most of them would say hell no.
trump can't defend schools
She also said the CDC guidelines were “flexible”
Hey, Betsy, where's the money?
Let's see her around a ton of people everyday with those ' common sense' protections first.
If the schools are opened, parents will use classrooms as de facto pediatric COVID wards while they go to work. Parents routinely do this during flu outbreaks. Other students, teachers, staff & their families will be put at risk, some gravely so. not a left/right issue.
We know that social distancing helps keep people safe yet IMPOTUS & Devos continue pushing us to pack our classrooms again. Our student’s and teacher’s lives are not political toys.
'Common sense' is for children not to assemble in schools during a lethal pandemic. She speaks with a forked tongue.
How did she manage to pull her head out of his ass Vote
RE-IMPEACH CORRUPT trump AND republicons. FIX CLIMATE CHANGE, NOT ELECTIONS. CON REPUBLICONS KNEW ABOUT CORONA VIRUS FOR YEARS, BUT CUT THE CDC, VACCINES, W.H.O., ACA HEALTH CARE IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC. DEFEAT ALL REPUBLICONS & RESTORE DEMOCRACY TO ALL.
Well I call them nonsense.
Betsy DeVos wants to play Russian roulette. with your children. Are you willing to bet your children's lives on her?
Children return to class under supervision of many adults, including their teacher who sees them daily.
🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐
And, shocker, THEY'RE BOTH WRONG.
BetsyDeVosIsAwful and completely incompetent. If you really think kids aren't in danger of being infected that's one thing, but what about the teachers, administrators and support staff? They don't matter?
realDonaldTrump, ya know what's far worse for your reelection than a bad economy? Getting our children sick with Covid-19, or worse, killing them with it. Unlike you, we love our kids more than anything & will do everything to protect them. DumpTrump2020 LeaveOurKidsAlone
Is it just me, or do most of the policies this administration is putting out seem geared to not getting votes? Getting people's kids sick seems like the top of the list for not getting reelected
🔨
She's 1 sick broad
BetsyDeVos has been looking for an excuse to defund public schools and profit from charter and private schools, enlarging the disparity btw that haves and have nots.
BetsyDeVosIsAwful
When you want to sound like the smart person in the room but don't actually have enough of a spine to defy the overgrown Oompa Loompa.
Not
RIP USA nice knowing ya 🇺🇸 my kids and I will be down in our bunker while this shitshow goes down
Today ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. shatters national record with 15,300 new confirmed coronavirus cases. 'Gov. DeSantis said even with rising rates, he still wants the schools to reopen as scheduled next month, saying “The risk of corona, fortunately, for students is incredibly low.' WTH
Religious and elitist schools are all set, right?
If you are so convinced that it is safe to do so, then lead by example & show us. Go to schools & attend class with the students.
Devos said schools that do not reopen should not receive federal funds and that money should be given directly to parents for use in finding education that suits them. THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN THINLY VEILED EFFORT TO PUSH SCHOOL VOUCHER SYSTEM.
How do we know that? Schools were closed almost immediately. There is no data to support that children can't get COVID-19 but there is data that the teachers and staff can get the virus. What about their safety? I think our leaders should substitute teach.
She should be thrown in jail for wanting to endanger the lives of innocent children, teachers and support staff to enable Trump's political agenda!
BetsyDeVosED is flip-flopping on following CDC guidelines for reopening schools. Children, their families and teachers need to be safe.
Guys, can you at least agree on one foolish and incoherent response, rather than making us choose which of the incompetent and unqualified boobs to follow?
TrumpTool
The point of k-12 is to make enough kids feel stupid and disconnected from any notion of their own destiny so as to prepare their minds for the tedious low-paying jobs that make Betsy's absurd wealth possible
Moms across America Love love love you, BetsyDeVosED Dems are God-awful and evil. trying to kill our kids spirit. BackToSchool2020
Maybe she knows if she backs Trump. He would pardon her. Way to play the game at the cost of our children and teachers. Wow
I can't believe, of all the educators, administrators, professors in this country, we are stuck with such dumb secretary
U are lying 2 the PPL. If U can’t ensure our kids R safe at school then TELL US!! We want our kids in school but not if they can get sick & bring it home. There R many multi-generational families living together, how many PPL with health probs will die UR WAY? My kids R miracles
Kids should not return to school in the fall. If restaurants aren't safe neither are schools. You can keep kids from touching each other and sneezing on each other it just doesn't work. Look at Florida and Texas it's not working for adults it surely won't work for kids.
NotMyKid
And neither of them give any guidelines on how to safely do it. Biden2020Landslide
What medical training does Betsy Devos have to make this decision that will impact thousands of lives?
this dipshit right here...
BDV...Since the CDC has put together their guidelines..Please put in numeral order YOUR basic guidelines for all PUBLIC schools to follow. Let's compare the two and see which ones make the MOST sense. I see that you've been WORKING on your tan, get to work on job we r paying u 4!
Lend me an ear, then share this song, please.
Stop bending into a pretzel on this. Sounds like a typical pyramid scheme...plebs go to work/school get sick with potential long-term health effects or die while the top reap rewards/money. She’s not credible just like the incompetent idiot who appointed her.
Yeah, common sense for someone with a corrupt agenda.
We will NOT send OUR kids 2 school UNTIL there is a PLAN on how to DO IT SAFELY! U R pushing that responsibility onto WHO WE will not send our kids 2 B SLAUGHTERED! U PPL R 2 keep our kids safe, if U CAN’T do that, then FIGURE IT OUT! I will not send my kids, I will homeschool
Around 20 people which includes students and teachers in a closed room doesn't pose any risk for COVID-19 transmission?
Can you visit loved ones in hospital ,if not. No school
here’s a petition demanding that the Texas Education Agency (WHO IS BEING PAID TO WORK FROM HOME UNTIL JANUARY) to allow teachers to work from home. if it’s not safe for TEA it’s not safe for kids!
DeVos us just ...
Her interview was appauling
Reparations ReparationsNow Reparations2020 BLM BlackLivesMatter BlackTwitter BlackOwnedBusiness Salem_Chicago DumpTrump2020
No plan in place. We don't care about the kids, staff and what might be passed to families. Sick woman.
Do not send your kids back to school .. this is our time to teach our children what they really need to know in life to succeed.. I say we teach our children virtually.. real estate, stocks, politics, coding , black history.. put our kids ahead of the game
BetsyDeVosED Is doing a great job of destroying the department by making it appear useless.
But she never once said, other than the suggestions of the CDC, that the Dept of Educaton has a plan. My question, as Dana also spoke about, is how many desks can will be able to be put into a classroom to keep the kids and teacher safe. I would keep my kids home.
She really has that, 'I belong in prison' look
Is that what you took away from that?
Common sense would not have put that hypocrite in power as Sec of Ed.
Oh wait, now she reversed herself /she says that he should follow CDC guidelines, was that the first thing she said and then changed her mind? her pre appointment comment that Trump does not represent the Republican Party beliefs, slip through every once in awhile. Learn-to-lie.
“But the key is, there has to be a POSTURE of doing something, of action...' (We have to LOOK like we know what we're doing, even though we have no fucking idea.)
Let’s say Devos & Trump prevail in forcing schools to reopen prematurely & there’s a consequent massive rise in COVID19 infections & related deaths. Can Devos & Trump be tried The Hague for genocide & other “Crimes against humanity”?
From the lady who did & said NOTHING the first few months of this pandemic. Now her solution is to kill/hurt kids. Data shows 10% of Covid cases are kids. 12% of all infections mean hospitalization. And 87% of all cases no matter how mild result in long term organ damage. STFU
She clutches, her very expensive pearls, as she spews concern for the tax payers whose $$$ isn’t being used at schools as intended with closers, doesn’t give a damn of those put in harms way if schools reopen. What a tool 🙄
A Betsy DeVos is what happens when you buy a cabinet position...
We gonna provide hazard pay for teachers? PandemicPayRaise
BetsyDeVosED is an Old Bored Crazy White Rich Bitch! Hey Bets! Send your grandkids to school, then talk about what a great idea it is. Well, IF anything👇🏻
What public school will your grandchildren be attending this fall Betsy?
Kids don’t need to die over an administration and political party that doesn’t embrace science and ignores medical guidance for political gain.
Cruela DeVos
Especially private, cash cow, schools. The catechism of White-Jesus and the Patriarchy ain't gonna larn itaelf.
everyone should agree schools should OPEN: the DEBATE should be about HOW to open them & minimize contagion at the same time: I would SPLIT the kids into 2 groups EACH doing 2 days in class (M+T or Th+f) & 3 days online then disinfect school on wed: that will FLATTEN da curve
Cruella Devos.
Have to keep the rich making bank off this at whatever cost to the peasants.
Betsy needs some dead kiddos
This old B I T C H should e made to go to a different classroom with our children everyday for 60 days.
Kids often come to school sick. It’s not up to schools to babysit communities of sick kids
What does Betsy and Trump care about our little ones!! Yes they need to get educated but not when there is no vaccine yet!! Parents should be the ones who decide for their children , not Trump or Betsy!!They should have an option of going to school or online classes! Period! 👏👏
So where are the conservatives telling the federal government to stay out of a states rights to govern when their schools open ?
What’s Empress Devos‘ plan when the classrooms are packed with COVID carriers and the school educators and staff are sick, hospitalized, and dying? Give the kids FOX News to keep them busy?
She needs to defend the CDC guidelines because she has no plan of her own. Useless! BestyDeVos
Common sense and realDonaldTrump POTUS in the same sentence is a oxymoron
.BetsyDeVosED is a disgrace. She cares nothing for the children. We need an EDUCATOR in this office, preferably from the public school sector. I'm sure DrBiden will be able to make this one of her projects-caring for our students. Biden2020 VoteBidenToSaveAmerica
I want schools to open too but let’s do it the right way with the needed resources to make it happen, where it is prudent to do so. I heard her compare us to other countries & how they have successfully opened schools. Is she ignoring the differences in the numbers, like Trump😬
