WASHINGTON – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is revising its guidance on reopening schools after President Donald Trump tweeted his disagreement with them, Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday.
"The president said today we just don’t want the guidance to be too tough," Pence said at a news conference at the U.S. Department of Education."That's the reason why, next week, CDC is going to be issuing a new set of tools, five different documents that will be giving even more clarity on the guidance going forward."Wednesday that he disagrees with the CDC's"very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools" as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
"And as we work with Congress on the next round of state support, we're going to be looking for ways to give states a strong incentive and encouragement to get kids back to school," Pence said.
So are funerals
Nothing but a puppet
Where is the outrage? Our elected officials just put their egos (again) ahead of our children's health.
Corrupt
They really have no clue. How many school nurses, classroom teachers, cafeteria staff, etc were consulted on the plan? You know, the ones who have to try to implement it?
None of them send their kids to puplic schools they could care less if kids get sick how people support this administration is mind blowing
Soooo, our kids don't deserve any thing that might be expensive....oh that's right you giant orange pumpkin and headless horseman side kick, our kids are expendable to you.
Trump originally wanted the CDC document to say 'Step 1: open the doors, Step 2: pack the little snotnoses in Step 3: There is no Step 3'
They might be tough and expensive but clearly they are necessary!!! I truly can’t believe potus would threaten schools to open when Covid is at its very worst and continues to get worse every day!! We need better options for our kids! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
They've succeeded in killing our parents and grandparents, now they are going after our children!
If your kid goes to school with white trsh kids your life and your kids are at risk
And I didn't vote for these guys😋
I don't have any kids in school either.
The CDCgov should not be changing their guidelines based on what politicians say. The CDC should be provide guidance based on what medical professionals believe is safe.
To state you can open schools safety when you have a pandemic that is out of control due to your complete incompetence is unbelievable. To use bullying tactics is also beyond belief. You run a dictatorship not a democracy Mr Trump.
Why did this change from guidance issued just a few days before?
Whyyyyyyyy
VP realDonaldTrump FACTS: Records being set today in AZ for COVID-19: * 3,421 hospitalized; * 570 on ventilators; * 121 intubations for respiratory distress; * 543 discharges from hospitals; * 2,008 ER visits; * 871 ICU beds in use; * 91% of ICU beds in use. Shameful leadership
NOTHING BUT POLITICAL MANIPULATION & GENOCIDE AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
schoolsreopening This administration is leading us to genocide We are 1 no away from school starting & THEY ARE NOT FUNDING SCHOOLS THAT DON'T REOPEN 🤬 WTF!!!
So apparently incompetence and irresponsibility are also contagious.
Experts: this is what the science says we need to do to minimize risk. Trump: I don’t wike it. Experts: but... Trump: I don’t WIKE it! Experts: what should we do? Administration: don’t worry about minimizing risk. Bare minimum. Deaths are acceptable. CDC: Okay.

Ignore trump- he's a lame duck.
Now I can't trust CDC. As a nurse I find this appalling.
He doesn’t give a damn who lives or dies-VOTE HIM OUT
Our real lives have literally become more threatened than anything ever written in a political thriller movie.
Schools will open. Parents will decide if our children will go or not. That’s our call, not the administration’s call.
Defund the CDC.
This is our new norm. You can not trust govt agencies under this admin. Either you “change” the science for him or you’re out. That’s what a dictatorship does. IJS 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Follow the SCIENCE!
The US is essentially becoming a dictatorship, with the bureaucracy doing and saying anything its leader wants them to. Unfortunately, the CDC's loss of credibility and objectivity will cost lives.
So we can no longer believe the CDC. Great
Enough is enough with the crime lord in the White House
Kids don’t contribute to the economy and no one cares about teachers.
So the bully-in-chief has now gotten to the CDC. Will no one ever stand up to him? CDC TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpVirus
ONLY THIS ADMIN can force parents to send their kids to contract a deadly virus. BY THREAT OF HOLDING UP FUNDS FOR EDUCATION. BY LYING TO AMER PPL OF HOW 'GREAT WE'RE DOING AROUND THE STATES. HOW WE HAVE FEWER DEATHS. HIPOCRITES. GOP. ARE HIPICRITES FOR JUST STAYING SILENT.
Don’t they a mom and doctor they could ask? Sending our kids back is scary AF
The CDC is becoming worthless. It is falling under the demands of deadbeat Donald. More and more people are going to be killed by deadbeat Donald as he struggles to be reelected. He does not care.
Send Manafort back to prison.
So science is taking a back seat to the word of trump
