“The president and his administration are messing with the health of our children,” Nancy Pelosi said in response

“The key is that kids have to get back to school,” DeVos said, “And we know there are going to be hot spots. And those need to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. But the rule should be that kids go back to school this fall. They have been missing months of learning.”

“Here’s what the CDC guidelines say: ‘If children meet in groups, it can put everyone at risk. Children can pass this virus onto others who have an increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19.’” Bash added, “That’s your own federal government’s guidelines.”“There’s going to be the exception to the rule, but the rule should be that kids go back to school this fall.

So, Bash asked again: “What I want to know is if the federal government is all on the same page. As the secretary of education, should schools follow the guidelines of the CDC?”

NicholasFerroni She should let us use her yachts 🛥

She can barely bring herself to speak to 'people '.

And you trust her with your tax dollars?

Painful to watch. She has her talking points, no idea what they mean beyond words on a page, and she is sticking to the script. Just like 45 she is vacant and inept.

Should be fired day one of the new administration

DevosCovidPiedPiper !?!

Even the softball questions from Dana Bash completely stumped the incompetent Betsy DeVos - shameful to throw the students and teachers into harms way to get realDonaldTrump elected

1. Since BetsyDeVosED’s admitted that, if schools reopen, close to 15,000 kids die of covid, wondering 2. How many GOP have kids in public school? & 3. If they are personally willing to take the chance that their own child will be one of the almost 15,000 kids who dies? DeVos

OpenSchoolsLAST Why are we ok with bringing kids together in a room for the day when there are still restaurants/stores closed? 1 kid- 2 friends = 3 families of adults going to various jobs OpenSchoolsLAST

JamilSmith Who cares? Open schools now. Stop the fear porn

America is phenomenal at appointing completely unequipped individuals to be in charge of the pillars of our society

LouisianaBernie TeacherStrike

DavidPepper Send kids back to school without adequate preparations. What could go wrong? Cruela de Vos has it covered!

If I had school aged kids I’d be afraid, mainly due to the stupid people that refuse to social distance and or wear masks!! I can’t believe the fucking idiots out there that refuse, or are too stupid to comply with thes very important measures.

JamilSmith It was nothing short of talking points, repeated ad nauseam. if they can’t give a yes or no answer, it’s guaranteed they are spinning.

JamilSmith Did I read correctly here that 1300 people got infected in connection to one day care facility? If so, shout out to the contact tracers on that case. Wow.

NicholasFerroni I’m sorry- even one child is too many.

Very white rich priveldge , right there

🤣🤣🤣

Wow. They only went over one talking point with her before the interview.

I don’t know which is more frightening - that or this from a Utah school’s reopening plan.

Betsy DeVos is a monster who is completely unqualified for her position.

I'm torn.....who can talk the longest on one stupid talking point without saying a fucking thing.....BetsyDeVos or that idiot mayor of Las Vegas.....thoughts?

She's actually pretty great.

JamilSmith it just like everything Donnie does, wing it, cuz there is NO plan...

BetsyDeVosED betsydevostation

Does anyone old enough remember when was about music?

azannaphx was a disaster to MI schools+carrying on for the Nation as trump knew she would

Η Κεραμέως της Αμέρικα

Ffs Disney World reopens after a record 15000+ positive tests in a single day in Florida. The plan here is that there is no plan. Let em all die apparently

Everyone of these Republicans who didn't get their rocks off when they kidnapped children, are now trying to outright murder them. Every Republican should have to sit in a classroom with the kids every day if schools open

Part of BetsyDeVosED's position seems to be that schools need to be given the flexibility to ignore CDC guidelines that they can't meet.

I have been a public school teacher for 26 years.....I would llove to ask her some questions 👩🏽‍🔧

This was such a frustrating interview to watch....!

DeVos just wouldn't answer the question of 'how' to reopen the schools safely. She just keeps saying the same thing over and over about kids need to get back in school and learning without addressing the question of this is to happen.

Remember when repeating a semester was embarrassing, but not a death sentence?

She just exudes 'Midwestern nice.'

There are people clawing at seats in our government who GENUINELY miss the confederacy. And they’re not hiding unknown in police departments anymore. It is DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN OUT THERE EVEN IF THEY’RE IMMUNE TO COVID.

Man do I love rock n roll music and this great renegade mag covering the rebels who create timeless rock songs!! Best music mag ever!!!!

It was scary petrifying to hear the fact she and trump have zero plan but yet pushing Americans to send their kids to school She really really needs to go

Unqualified to do just about anything on this planet.

Also has no mention of the teachers, staff, bus drivers or any vulnerable relatives at home. Fail! They want us to sacrifice our children for the economy.

She has as much business running this department as I have working to cure COVID. All she knows is yachts, wealth and payoffs. Kids getting sick and spreading to staff and family mean nothing to her incompetent, “let them eat cake” ass

Her devil horns alone are very frightening.

BetsyDeVosED is certifiable.

If Americans don't stand up to this woman and send their children to school to die I feel sorry for our world they are killing us off

This woman is truly evil

She has no power. No plan. Just another clueless p.o.s.

She’s Worthless incompetent never should’ve been put in that position the Republicans do a good job of that. She needs to go putting any child’s life in danger is despicable.

Failure.

Imagine watching this video and thinking the government should control students’ education.

Trump has all the worst people.

Fun. I can't wait to.... scroll past this. Lol.

DeVos Presses Schools To Reopen, But Details (And Federal Funding Answers) Remain SparseDeVos would not say whether schools should follow the CDC’s guidance for reopening, either.

Do you promise your staff they won’t get the cold, flu, etc. when they come to work? If so, why do you give employees sick days? killthestupidity Trump2020 Tip. No dogs have died from Covid-19, because dogs bodies make vitamin C hourly. Humans have a genetic defect that prevents our bodies from making vitamin C.

Pediatrician Makes Case For Reopening Schools This FallNPR's Scott Simon speaks with Sara Bode, pediatrician and member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, about sending students back to school this fall.
Source: NPRHealth - 🏆 144. / 63 Read more »

Why pediatricians are pushing for kids to go back to school in the fall'There's no question school is important for children -- not just for education purposes, but for their development, for their mental health, for nutrition and even for health care.' It sounds like there is serious concern among pediatric professionals that some kids are not safe at home with their own parents. They know that coming out with those kinds of statements will cause a huge uproar, so it's easier for them to say 'school is a better place for kids'. So they can make money from dead children. right. and heck let's do it in about three weeks with no funding and no real plan. just insane. how many children will die because of this? nuts.
