Vice President Pence has said the CDC will be issuing five new documents next week about how to reopen schools.in June in favor of bringing children back to the classroom in the fall wherever and whenever they can do so safely. The statement included recommendations about physical distancing, cleaning and disinfection, hand-washing, and using outdoor space whenever possible.
In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS. The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!However, the decision to reopen schools — like the decision to close them in March — is not top-down, but made from the bottom-up by thousands of local and state school leaders and public health officials.
For decades, that funding stream has flowed through Congress with bipartisan support, and Trump has no authority to cut it off or add new requirements to funding lawmakers have already allocated.
And what authority does the LA teachers union have, using kids education as leverage to get M4A, $500B, etc....
Trump: threatens to take school funding if schools don't reopen. Obama: threatened to take school funding if schools didn't allow boys and girls to shower together.
Why should closed schools get funding? Most are majority state funded anyway. The FEDS pay for lunches.
Federal gov’t pays ~ 8% of public school budgets, mostly in the firm of grants for specific student needs. Can NPR cnn usatoday politico nytimes etc try to be more than stenographers for empty GOP threats, just once? Just for funsies
socalaura That's because The Rumpster is an egotistical Dumpster. It's all about him all the time.
Trump has no idea what he can and can't do as President. He's been on he job for 3.5 years and still has no clue. Any normal person would be hearing a certain phrase if they hadn't learned the job they're supposed to be doing after 3.5 years...
No kidding, but he got the issue into the open. Parents will decide. Thx sucker...
Considering most funding for schools is state and locally funded then no big deal. States will decide for themselves. No students in schools then no need for federal money.
Emily Oster, an economist at Brown U., told Mary Louise Kelly that one of the biggest challenges of reopening schools is that some teachers may not be comfortable returning, which could result in a limited workforce.
If Trump is so keen to”open schools, how about a coherent program and finding to protect children and teachers? A leader leads; a bully threatens. TrumpVirus TrumpHasNoPlan SchoolReopening coronavirus COVID
Just leaving this here to dry...
Yes, but those who want to contain students and teachers at home to fight the coronavirus will oppose those who demand the reopening... Trump has understood that this question will divide public opinion this fall, the opportunity for him to fuel the fire before the elections ...
Oh really? And taxpayers should keep forking over money to closed schools? Sounds like you need to go back and learn
Yes he does. These schools rely heavily on federal monies. If the schools aren't open, why fund them!?
Will he be risking his child's health and life? If no then why should we risk our children and if yes, what does that say about him as a father?
Meh...maybe it's time to just defund . It's National Public Radio...shouldn't it be a non-partisan government broadcasting platform for the good of the country? Asking for a friend
Actually he does idiots. SCOTUS just handed him massive EO power. Or were you busy planning Marxist riots to pay attention.
Yes he does have the authority. Where did you go to school? Oh, that's right, Communist Academy for Dummies.
We are saddened & disgusted that this President seems to have his own “SELF” agenda that has nothing to do with serving the people & serving as a voice of calm & vision in bringing people together during a pandemic. We need LEADERSHIP! Will the real leaders please stand up!
Defund NPR!
Someone has to make decisions that are in the best interest of children, your masks, distancing and closing down schools are going to create children that are afraid of their own shadows. Have you seen how much suicide this has caused. Stop fear mongering.
Oh I think he has more influence on state leaders than you think.
My tax dollars no longer need to go to
You are garbage
I wish he would pull finding for NPR
So the education department is not in the executive branch? Over 90% of funding is local so if they aren't open and not paying for food for meals and power for the building why would they need extra funding?
I’d be 100% for cutting all federal funding to any media sources. They should all be independent of public influence.
What do they need the money for, if they stay shut?
DefundNPR for their blatant lies and misrepresentations.
The organization that needs to have its funding cut off is the communist .
Why should they get funding if they're not opening?
Who the hell had authority to close the damned schools in the first place. Unprecedented to take down Trump with a disease that has a death rate of a severe flu. This was all a psychological operation. An extension of the coup attempts in the House for 3 years. A huge fraud. Open
So glad the Left media is there to report this 😂🤣
Grandma_Shelia This is Trump’s MO, his pattern, the art of his deal. Does anyone continue to doubt that Trump threatened to withhold aid from Ukraine? This is what he does.
.. How is tRuMpS goVeRnMeNt going to demand schools reopen.. when they weren't even the ones who saw enough of a concern to call for them to be closed in the first place
Public schools should not be sacrificed to the vanity of white old ego driven men who get off on class genocide. TrumpGenocide GovRonDeSantis SpeakerPelosi marcorubio SenRickScott StudentsLivesMatters GOP GOPGenocide GOPCoward
He just doesn’t care a hoot about our kids.
NPR is communist propaganda
New CDC reopening guidelines for schools: Anyone can like realDonaldTrump cheat on your SATs or other tests and get other students to take your test for you! Yeh.... schoolsreopening ReopeningSchools whpresscorps MAGADumb COVIDIOTS
Yes, state & local leaders do make the decision to reopen their schools. But Trump could threaten to veto essential new funding in the HeroesAct making its way through Congress.
inskeep Thanks for that. I’ve been trying to determine if the President has that authority
Why do you put our tax dollars into schools that aren't opening serving their purpose? I'm not saying that they should or shouldn't open, but don't put my money into a closed shop
So you are saying that he is not a fascist dictator and if there is a failure in leadership it is the Governors Thanks for the clarification.
atadayon He thinks he has the authority to rule the world and he tries to act like it.
Covidiot
So bottom line, since realDonaldTrump never acted as the national leader one would have expected, even to the point of saying federal emergency supplies aren't for states 😜 we need to ignore him and make sure the governors do the right thing. TrumpVirus
How much did you pay Malania for that press
I say open the schools every single last 1. Then i say to all parents DONT send your kid/s. Us parents main job in life is to protect our children. Fuck the government they dont care.
Taxpayers can pay for ships sent to the East and West coast¬ used. Fly fighter jets over the country to congrats 1st line fighters of Covid they can't see because of busting their ass saving lives,but it's to expensive to open schools with the upmost protection.
Countries in Europe opened schools weeks ago, the kids aren't even wearing masks, & they have been doing great. The Pediatric Association agrees with president RealDonaldTrump & millions of parents too.
GovHolcomb keep our schools closed.
Call it what it is: Blackmail
Yeah. No duh. He is as crooked and morally a bankrupt a would-be dictator as we could have ever selected to lead our once-great country
Please do cut off school funding!!! Time to reopen
gut this fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump with CrimesAgainstHumanity
Well, it took a couple of days, but we finally got to the 'or else'...
If the schools don't reopen, why do they need the money?
He has admitted that everyone he comes in contact with is tested. Teachers/students deserve the same!!! He has no more right to be healthy than anyone else in the world!
CDCgov usedgov GovPritzker How much is this country paying to protect the President from Covid-19 and it is “too expensive” to protect our teachers and students? What happen to “for the good of our nation and our citizens”? Thank God GovPritzker is my Governor.
LindaMLC He can fck off, my 4 kids will NOT be going back to school in August. In fact, no one I know will be sending their kids back in August. I LOATHE THIS POS!!!
No need to threaten bc it looks like they are gonna open anyway.
“As long as there is community transmission in the adult population, reopening of schools will likely facilitate transmission...good surveillance & testing systems should be in place before schools reopen.' How do children spread the coronavirus?
It's the Center for DISEASE CONTROL. Its concern is with public health (i.e. trying to prevent Trump from killing hundreds of thousands of people with criminal negligence), not with whether or not doing so will be too 'expensive'.
Lets see how he does in a classroom environment, with a classroom of 25 to 30 kids, lets see if he would attended everyday as Covid numbers are starting to surge again. This piece if shit who the fuck does he think he is trying to fool and risk childrens lives.
He’s not the ducking King.
Trump: Either sacrifice your children to me as your God or I will starve you into subjection.
teacherlivesmatter
Waiting on small govt, states’ rights folks to chime in.
I thought Republicans were about less government?
Progressives for state power very nice
inskeep Hello & thank you 10th Amendment
[Knowingly]...We see you NPR..You need to be defunded
My grandmother (born in 1886) only finished the second grade, but she was way smarter than the resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
trumpiskillingus
Dr.Fauci wasn't there, they're afraid he'll tell the truth. Trump hates the truth.
GOOD I WOULD CUT OFF YOURS
Yes he does.... who are you
Last time I looked, schools are under local/state government and not federal. Not like he’s ever read the constitution or anything though.
But itll sound great to the cult
It’s disgusting that he would even try it. Still attempting to wish away the problem and ignoring the science.
His fucking majesty's government?
Reopening schools too soon is another opportunity for Trump to for the 'independent of politics' CDC to enact rules endangering the lives of children.
Face it, realDonaldTrump is a hooligan.
What will it take for schools to close back down? 1 infection? 10 infections? 100 infections? Reopening is ill conceived and doomed for failure. Unfortunately it’s our reality. From the beginning, we never prioritized schools among general public health.
If the school systems don’t use the money they receive from the Federal Government for earmarked services, then why not without their money.
DICtator!
Stupid is. Stupid tries. 😳
So, 'he's not responsible', again. Who
Supporting POTUS and following CDC guidelines should not be mutually exclusive. We need to protect our teachers and kids the same way we do our tellers and cashiers. My wife is a teacher and we are still pro life, pro God, and gun.
Such an ugly creepy man, POTUS, Just look at his face and how he is looking at the woman. Yuck!!!!!
What's with all these creepy looks he's shooting at Melania lately? Gross.
Yes. Again with the ignoring state's rights, which used to be a hallmark of Republican conservativism.
Actually you NPR continuously add rules for the President and speak without knowledge!
He has a phone & a pen. Just like Obama said. President, not king. The Constitution is a living document.
Con-Man-in-Chief Cheated in school, cheated Trump Bogus University students, & along with DeVos...ready, willing, & able to cheat public school...students & faculty members of money & health! The Narcissistic Trump Regime DOES NOT CARE ABOUT US; WE, the PEOPLE are EXPENDABLE!
You wealthy lefty don’t care. You have private teacher for your kids, private nanny, not most of ordinary people who even don’t have someone to watch their kids, while they are at work 🤐
Mike Pence lacks the courage to stand up to Trump and stand up for right. Christians are called to speak truth to power. Pence has totally given in to Trump’s pressure. TeachersLivesMatters kidslivesmatter poorleadership yesmen
ALL NARCISSISTICALLY DRIVEN FOR & ABOUT TRUMP; NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REGIME’S WE, the PEOPLE’S EXPENDABLE LIVES!!!!
Relax NPR(National Progressive Radio)!
it’s funny how NOW all of a sudden education is up to the localities! Then if that is the case we can defund the dept of education and with their 70 billion budget that would put 750k PER YEAR extra in every public elementary middle and high school in the country.
Always the 'Mobster.' FAIL!!
And Red State leaders are following him lock stock. In TX fed's Covid relief money went to pay existing school expenses. We do not have extra funds to pay for the things we need to reopen safely. But if we don't reopen, funding will stop entirely.
After 3.6 years and he still doesn’t know what he has the power to do or not do. Such ignorance!
Eat excrement and stop wasting my hard earned tax dollars
NPR needs to stop getting our tax dollars if they are going to keep attacking our President
