President Donald Trump has spent the past two weeks demanding — often in all caps on Twitter — that American schools reopen this fall.

Florida's Miami-Dade County Public Schools — touted as a model by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for its comprehensive reopening plan — is offering up to five days of in-person learning, along with an online option. But the superintendent now is casting doubt on the possibility of kids returning to classrooms on the first day of school if the city remains the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, though Florida’s new reopening planin August for at least five days per week for all students.

"We want teachers and students to be face-to-face, as much as safely possible," said Rep. Rosa DeLauro , the head of the congressional panel that controls education spending, on Monday. "In some states around the nation with a virus that is out of control, we cannot simply open schools based on the statements of the secretary of education."

Anyone find it agrivating that the W.H.O and the C.D.C reported a few months ago that covid Does Not Survive in the air tempature over 45°f. Here it is summer and we are wearing Masks are they painting us as fools?

BUNKER KING DONALD: Don't let school districts, teachers, parents tell you what to do. Call out National Guard & forcibly bring children to school. You know what is best: look at JUNIOR and ERIC. You must be a proud parent. Greed is good.

Horrible idea based on TDS & not rational thinking.

America’s biggest school systems are rejecting our children. American Association of Pediatrics recommends school opening. The “listen to science” crowd are a bunch of Hypocrites. Our children will suffer, and they don’t care.

The vast majority of students don’t learn through virtual learning. It’s a small percentage that can do so. If they aren’t going to the classroom, just extend summer break a few months. Make the non-learning official, instead of pretending virtual learning works for all children.

Gee, what if they reopened schools and no one showed up?

Thank God!he's not fit to lead a dog down a dog trail let alone leave this country anywhere we have got to get him out of here in November

Its like the little kid who tells his stepdad, 'u ain't the boss of me!'

Teachers Unions are the enemy of the American Society. They are failing our children to score political points and to gain power. It is going to backfire on them. People are waking up.

People, people, people! Donald Trump doesn't care about school, your children, or this virus. He just wants to get things back the way they were so he can make his claim. And, this is a fight he would rather be dealing with other than him being a TRAITOR!

Trump has no idea of how to safely to open schools. He just likes to spew nonsense.

States Rights FTW amirite

He does not have the legal capacity to force open schools. Its not in his job scope. Welcome to America.

Teachers can’t safely interact with members of the public. But grocery store workers can. Frequently minorities, mostly poor grocery store workers can. Fuck the teachers unions, they’re self-interested vermin. Get your kids OUT of these schools.

Trump seems to want as many Americans as possible to die before he leaves office. A very vindictive, cruel man.

He had no power to steal that $2.5 billion from the dod for that stupid wall, but he did it anyway

the schools which are closing are NOT REJECTING realDonaldTrump ... they're rejecting the KIDS & Parents they're being paid to SERVE: the DEBATE should be HOW to open schools & minimize contagion at the same time: I would SPLIT the kids into 2 groups EACH doing 2 days in class

Let us know when they reopen the White House for public visits and when the First Lady will be available to read to kindergarten kids. I still won't be sending my kid. I just want to know when to start the next outbreak watch.

Note to self, if you ever become POTUS, have some idea about how government works before you threaten people with stuff you have no power to do. Also, don't be an incompetent narcissist.

Good thing they listen to science and not the imbecile in the WH.

Is it me, or is just about everyone in America smarter than Trump? Sad

Los Angeles and San Diego school districts will start school virtually as coronavirus surges in the area. SaveTheChildren ScrewTrump

But parents and taxpayers will have plenty to say.

Send his kid to a public school. His family as well.

Teacher's unions and Democrats want schools closed. Teacher's don't want to work(but want to get paid)....and Dems want Trump out.

The president has no recourse here because schools are directed by local officials. A fact that will be ignored when the left demands Trump close the schools and Joe makes ADs demanding the same.

I mean....the rest of the world has opened schools. At least parents should get the money from the school districts so they can educate them at home.

Reject his dumb ass in November, too.

The White House has issued guidelines. Follow the guidelines. Make choices about your school district based on your circumstances. If you can open safely, you should. If you cannot, do not.

Hahahah live it, stick it to the man

The Note: Trump vs. Fauci eclipses Trump vs. BidenWhich showdown matters more for the presidential campaign at the moment -- President Donald Trump vs. former Vice President Joe Biden, or Trump vs. Dr. Anthony Fauci? Trump lost to Biden already. So he needs a new foe, moving forward. Trump dominates both of them. Fauci and Biden are both liberal puppets. CovidiotInChief

Trump rips private Texas border wall built by his supportersPresident Trump criticized a privately built border wall in South Texas that’s showing signs of erosion months after going up, saying it was “only done to make me look bad,” even though the wall was built after a months-long campaign by his supporters. 🤣🤣 Turns out that Trump's base is really anti-Trump. Who would have guessed? Maybe they elected Trump to make him look bad too? I mean, what better way to humiliate Trump than to make him POTUS so that the entire world can see how incompetent and corrupt he is? 😂😂😂, try harder,Tr*mpers. Your leader is not happy.

‘Big mistake’: Barr, White House officials tried to keep Trump from getting involved in Stone's sentencingAG Barr discussed Roger Stone's sentence with Pres. Trump and recommended clemency not be offered, multiple sources say, and other White House officials, including White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, also advised the president against the commutation. It was Barr that recommended RogerStone serve 4 years in prison (compared to 9 years based on sentencing guidelines) TrumpIsANationalDisgrace Probably realDonaldTrump, however harsh the expression, Trump has never had a child who is a victim of sexual violence. In this case, being conniving with the actions of a pedophile pedophile, unable to control his sexual desires, demonstrates his tendency to perversion. Seriously look into BarackObama our president fixed what democrats ruined

Roger Stone Clemency Latest Example Of Trump Rewarding His Friends, Scholars SayOn a single day in February, Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of 11 people — all of whom had one thing in common: either they had an inside connection to him, or their cases were promoted on Fox News. I'm not saying that you have to have committed some kind of fraud or other crime of moral turpitude to get a pardon from Trump... But it doesn't hurt your chances! So if you're white, rich and politically connected you are untouchable. Is this the America where we are all born free or just some of us? Bill Clinton pardons his own brother after drug crime
