."While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things. I will be meeting with them!!!", which are voluntary, encourage school staff and students"to take everyday preventive actions to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses" -- like washing hands and staying home while sick.
Vice President Mike Pence speaks after leading a White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing at the Department of Health and Human Services, June 26, 2020, in Washington, D.C.Pence said he spoke with Trump and that the president's tweet reflected the president's"leadership" and"desire" for the guidance to not"be a reason why schools don't open."
"I want to make it very clear that it is not the intent of CDC's guidelines is to be used as a rationale to keep schools closed," Redfield said at the news conference."We are prepared to work with each school, each jurisdiction to help them use the different strategies that we propose that help do this safely so they come up with the optimal strategy for those schools.
If they are not going to have Children in the School, they don't need any funding.
Love the people who are dying for the White House tours. What a stupid comparsion. Folks, start pressuring your superintendent to make some decisions. Many have no plan for Fall. It’s coming up!
can somebody please just tap the military leaders on the shoulder whisper in their ear and tell them it's time to go remove this Administration not just Trump all of them have to go!
We taxpayers should cut his travel funding to his golf courses and cut funding for his kids travel expenses as well. Lets start there realDonaldTrump
So school tax that is paid with the property tax is controlled by him or what? 'Napoleon Not so bright' act's like he's funding everything himself. Why does he think he knows more than the CDC or that he can tell them how to keep people safe?
His threats are usually just bluster....he likes to play the tough guy, but has zero follow through.
Donnie J Trump realDonaldTrump doesn't care because his kids and grandkids go to private schools paid for by....TAXPAYERS!
Kids not going back to school will cause more harm than good. You don’t need to be too smart to figure it out. Stop imposing your hatred for 1 man on the children.
If schools are closed, then teachers shouldn’t be paid to stay home and do nothing. In the private sector, we’re not afforded such special treatment. We’re laid off fired or furloughed.
All he does is try to make the world miserable and to bring together racism in America. The best job he ever done is to open up racism to the Max. RacistInChief
Lord! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Where are any intelligent people who may be left in the GOP to stop this fool from putting his re-election over the health & safety of our children? Many schools were unsafe BEFORE THE VIRUS. Trump doesn’t push masks, & now wants to put the kids at risk! He is a dangerous fool.
Crazy 🧏🏻♂️
Who needs education when you can become the president of the United States without anything like that? I understand his point!
Unbelievable!!
realDonaldTrump ugly
Headline: President talks out of his ass...again.
Hey Can you look into children and Covid19
aaaaahhhhh if they are not open why do they need funding? no teachers no students no bills
The BULLY President needs to go. This is NOT what we are about in this country. And certainly NOT what we need in a leader!
I might need a favor though
What is he doing? Does he even believe science a little? Does he care at all?
This guy has no power; remember without those governors threat to go rogue realDonaldTrump still sitting on couch Jul 2020 132k+ TheShameOfItAll
Trump wants to sacrifice school children because he thinks that their sacrifices will gain votes for him.
trump = threats, coercion, blackmail, quid-pro-quo, two bit mobster, mafia
Pres. orange man threatened he 'may cut off funding' for schools that do not reopen, although it was unclear how the federal justice league could exert significant financial pressure on state and local school systems.
Good
Rubbish.
Well at least melania is keeping the right distance😂😁
Wouldn't you agree the more you test the more you will find? Ignorant post
KarenTrump
Here’s how he can’t do it. He can’t.
How is it that 7/11 is deemed essential, but schools are not. And how has the Dollar Tree managed to provide uninterrupted service, but the “learned” people at schools can’t seem to figure out how to reopen?
Kinda reminds me of Blagojevich, who Trump of course pardoned under the guise of the former governors actions being legal in Trump's mind. Blagojevich held up schools and a hospital for political favors and went to prison. Trump's whimsy is going to destroy us all.
The words I speak are not appreciated. Why should I offer futher in this flat and stable economy. Are you prepared for guidance
Dump Trump
Hmm... bad
These states are begging for $ already. Don’t be a dishonest shit-rag of journalism. Oh, NVM. Too late.
Lets stop referring to him as President..For he's been horrific and his days are few..Referring to him as Trump wont hurt nothing
DsOchoa We’re still incensed over KidsInCages. But come September we’re gonna have KidsInCoffins.
Well, if they don’t open, they don’t need the funding 🤷🏼♂️
He’s a smart man!
I’m a Powerball lottery winner that has battled credit card debt in the past , I know the pains of living through debt and I’m here to help , I’m clearing credit card debt of all my followers and interested Americans . Send a dm if you need this help
Whg would they need funding if they’re not opened
It will be clear very soon
As she speaks from her safe bubble with no children of her own in public school system
Miles Guo: We have 2000 documents to prove that the coronavirus is bio weapon made by CCP! theWhistleblowerMovement
BetsyDeVosED shut up, please! Come to my classroom and at least try to see what’s happening before you open your mouth to speak!
BetsyDeVosED you do not deserve your position for MANY reason but none greater than this. You are supposed to keep our children save. Until there is a vaccine or clinically proven treatment no one, especially our kids, should be exposed to this.
Crazy. Iron Maiden
Right... If you leave it to the individual localities, then you're not responsible when shit hits the fan... Got it... A student of tRump I see.
creepy
Ok how?
I agree. AS SOON AS IT'S SAFE. Come sit in a classroom with me with a full load of students without a face mask and then make a pronouncement. Have you ever been a teacher or worked in a classroom? If not you are INCOMPETENT. Go get a job where you can't hurt anybody.
Someone's sneeze on her
There is a special place in Hell for Betsy. You just don't play politics we our children.
Remember when she was 1st put in that position, how unqualified/unprepared she was? Thankfully this isn’t an incredibly treacherous time in our nation. When we need highly skilled leaders who can navigate this crisis & protect the next generation. We really dodged a bullet there!
Parents! Here are 13 things to consider when deciding to send kids back to school: COVID19
Is this the same DeVos that has spent her life railing against public schools? Why would she want them open? Something way not right about this.
shawnpmcd Thoughts?
🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
She paid her way into that job for $10,000.000 to trump’s campaign with no experience in the classroom! She wants privatize schools that push her religious agenda! She owns private schools! She needs to go!!!
BetsyDeVosED and realDonaldTrump make pronouncements 'Schools open in fall' then distance themselves about 'how'. That's our federal government total response. On to the next topic.
😡
It’s amazing that this administration is so looking forward to burying a bunch of kids.
Let's have teachers from across the country discuss the issues on the DeVos yachts and see what they come up with in a month. Let's put GOP staffers in the classrooms until then.
So once again they demand things done with no support!
I’m comfortable having my 9 grandchildren return to a normal school year in August.
Now, I am truly convinced that hiring a non-experienced rich kid to a position of public service is a very bad idea.
She should have to move her office to a public school in DC. Until the epidemic is over if she wants them open
Lol meanwhile:
It’s both if and how schools should open....not the reckless narrative pushed by realDonaldTrump
Death to this lady
Does this mean that the teachers that we entrust with the future generations of Americans will finally receive the SIGNIFICANT increase in incomes that they deserve, especially at a time when they will be putting themselves and their own families at risk of contracting COVID-19?
They have no plan for safety. They just want anything to give the appearance of normalcy as election day news. Death cult
I think I hate her most of all
She looks tired. Carrying Trump's bullshit must get exhausting.
But... The Dotard PROMISED that Mexico was going to pay for his “wall”!!!! 🙄
I'm loving how all the people who argued that Trump should have forced all states to follow the same covid response all of a sudden remember what Federalism is. He knows he can't force them to open but most parents want their kids back in school and he's trying to apply pressure.
A$$h***!
realDonaldTrump NBCNews CBSNews Mr Trump, so now you want to be a child killer Sending children back to school no matter what? You are very insane person!!!!Send your son first!!
Ridiculous
In truth federal funds only account for only abt. 8% of school budgets. Trump's threats are based on ignorance, like usual.
He’s just a big mouth bully that thinks he’s king. He has no idea how to even start doing that. All bluster. No brains.
All schools should be made private then at least our kids wouldn't be indoctrinated to be communist
👿
Hoping schools think of their children's and staff's health before any money received from the federal government.
Let him and when Joe Biden becomes President things will change!!
Does he really want the teachers to vote for the other guy?!?
Trump shows stupidity each and everyday. He never has plans. Education is a dangerous place with DeVos as the head. She wants to dissemble the public school and give more and more to private schools. Public education is a large part of the back bone of the USA.
🤮
Bully in Chief repeating the same failed mandates, not based on anything except his political agenda, that caused him to lose the battle to control the pandemic in the US.
Schools must open!This is a political stunt by Democrats! 99.5 percent cure rate! These kids can and should go to school! Other countries are back! Democrats will use children to affect the election by creating chaos. Just like they let cities implode.Trump is telling the truth!
KeithOlbermann KyrieMeMo Three Quick And Soon: 1. POTUS' son and grandchildren going to school. 2. Our children and grandchildren going to school. 3. WH Tours opening. No appointment or testing required. ============= Safe and sound- As 'all' openings are rapidly found.
Don't you all get sick and tired of realDonaldTrump signature attitude? Always the stick, never the outstretched hand. Always threads, never compromises. Bullying, mocking and humiliating tweets. The US needs to heal. Unity, humanity, compassion. No lawlessness, more hate!
It's the only thing he knows how to do: Threaten to cut off funding. Kinda gives you an idea how his parents raised him
The Dictator
Trump always wants to cut off funding so he can continue to give it all to his rich billionaire friends.
KeithOlbermann FLOTUS why is she sitting in a discussion that pertains to COVID!
This is dumb. Only make US Coronavirus pandemic worse!
Send Barron to public school, DT.
Yeah. Most public school systems are funded with local taxes. Maybe he doesn't know that. Maybe he thinks everything comes from the Feds. Once again, another example where he is unfit and unqualified for the job.
Good
Doesn't most (all?) federal education aid go to state governments and they allocate it to local systems rather than the aid going from the federal government to a local system?
this nigga has a threat for everybody not named putin
In PA we have home schooling like Connections Academy. No charge. Aligned with your school district so your taxes pay for it. That's where my kids would be going.
Y’all heard, trump wants to take your kids
They want schools open only so parents will go back to work. SCHOOLS ARE NOT FOR CHILDCARE. Students can be educated remotely. We SHOULD be talking about how structurally broken our system is with regard to families, childcare, and the social safety net.
Trump reacting his relationship with his niece and nephew.
💩 🛍
Since when does he ever know what he's talking about. He has no idea how anything works.
It's just rhetoric aimed at his base, who - like him - believe that the president's power is endless. We should remind them next time there's a Democratic president.
If you were able to persuade schools you have guidance appropriate to the level & spread of coronavirus in their community why would you need to threaten their funding? Blackmailing schools doesn’t seem a viable way to build confidence in staff, parents & children
Once again exhibiting his bigly knowledge of how government actually works.
I pay FAR TOO MUCH MONEY to support my local school system. Trump can stfu UnfitForOffice
So he will not provide aid to those requesting it but he will force all to obey hes bidding. Amazing how he grew up thinking he was royalty. 🤦♂️
If Trump had a brain he'd take it out and play with it.
Why does the federal govt have this money to hold hostage in the first place Defund it so these psychos have no control.
So if schools are made to open and kids made to go does that mean that Trump;s son and grandchildren will also be required to go back or will they be exempt!
