Washington Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Sunday refused to say whether schools should follow guidelines from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on reopening, saying those guidelines are meant to be"flexible."
"The CDC guidelines are just that, meant to be flexible and meant to be applied as appropriate for the situation," DeVos told CNN's Dana Bash on"State of the Union."The CDC guidelines for schools to reopen contain steps to keep children safe, including keeping desks placed six feet apart and for children to use cloth face coverings.
Betsy Devos, I trust this guy more with children than you.
The wrong people are getting Covid
Please please please remember in November who appointed Betsy DeVos and for what reason 💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲
That's the best answer. It's at the local level
Out of the mouths of fools.
This chick...
What would it take to get her out? Serious question.
Not wearing a mask great role model
Democrats are EXPLOITING YOUR CHILDREN FOR their DEMOCRAT POLITICAL AGENDAS. PELOSI it the one who is NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SCIENCE or the DATA.
BetsyDeVosED seems really far removed from the challenges faced in school reopening. Let’s try the fluorescent paint test in a classroom and see how it fares after routine cleaning.
You are meant to be flexible!!!!! Out of office
It sounds like CNN is opposed to giving needy kids a school meal as CDC recommends kids bring their own lunch. CNN hates
This woman doesn’t have the credentials to run a school let alone the DOE- she shouldn’t be in the position she is. And she wouldn’t be except for the huge donations she made to Trump’s campaign.
Get back to school
Good. Why should schools in NYC and LA have the same guidelines as a small town in Iowa?
Get her out! Allowing such an incompetent person to manage and decide the fate of the nation’s children is a crime
She has proven over and over again how incompetent she really she.
She is scared of Trump, so now our children become a political football for the Trump campaign.
She don’t care watch her yesterday on the news what a nasty 🤢 thing she is she don’t care about children made me mad 😡
Kids need to go back to school! More kids die from the annual flu than COVID and studies have proven children are not spreaders of the virus! Report facts!
Kissing Humpty Trumpty's ass is really NOT a pretty sight
God this lady sucks
Dumb as a post
Dumb as a post!
Yuck.
Kimberly Chavez Lopez Byrd
No actuallythey are meant to be followed!
worthless puppet wecanrepairherdamage
Maybe she should visit every classroom to see how the flexibility is going. What a joke
Why American don't believe science?
This coming from the lady who said that everyone needs guns in schools in case there is a bear 🤦♀️
Betsy needs to dye her hair orange and play golf......
It's all about vaccines that in past never worked but they get billions from but this time they will work hahaha
This bs that is being fed to us is biggest FRAUD, no evidence kids are exposed, look at Europe, kids go to school, no problem, this Fauci and Gates got all sheep
How about being flexible Betsy and lean forward, thru your legs and put your head, well you get the idea!
Idiot!
smart like rock
you know the country is fcuk'd when the government is saying they don't need to listen to their own health governing body 'coz it's not inline with their political agenda. looks like realdonaldtrump is pushing students into the firing hell as his political pawns 🤔
LockHerUp
They are meant to be followed,,,,
Useless comments from a useless woman...
The only reason she’s education secretary is because she don’t need a pile of money to trumps campaign she absolutely has no business being secretary of education she’s about as stupid as they get like trump
Maybe she will replace Kate Bosworth for season 2 of The I-Land and play e character K.C.
Dunbass de Vos!
And go against her leader’s advice? Really!
Not only is Trump the worst President in our history, his Administration is the worst in our history.
We need to use our voices and actions to express our needs. This is done by advocating for your child.
She needs to resign from her position as SOE public education has been on the decline. She needs to go.
Maybe she should read the guidelines
Yikkkkeeesss
Bahahaha CDC guidlines are flexible now...gawd
She is incompetant and must be fired. Congress needs to pass legislation mandating that the Secretary of Education have a background in EDUCATION!!
CNN like china, make sure everybody is screwed.
You think he grabbed her pussy?
She so dumb what an embarrassing interview...
She is NOT an expert on anything besides elitism.
Why should she? She's not an educator. She & her money got her the job..not her resume.
Maybe because it is not known yet...? That's what flexible means! CNN should relearn what it takes to deliver good news. Your story should be more like... 'CNN refuses to print the truth'.
Oh barf!
She is a nightmare does she have grandkids btw
Betsy, is like Trump, she is clueless.
Wow. She hates kids more than Trump. She must put it in her CV.
These people don't care our children, Trump doesn't even care about you
Stupidity at its best!
She needs to go.
Lindsey Graham it's a little too late yeah buddy Donald Trump with the one that you back like to rest areas I've been saying for three years that he is the most corrupt person ever and you still keep backing him all you R is a trump brown noser have a hearing more money taxpayer
Poor dazed and confused Betsy shouldn't have to deal with anything so complex as responsibility, publichealth, education, children, medicalriskfactors, mortality, government, consequences,& anything except her own immediate needs.
If only repayments of student loans can be flexible.
Give overworked school systems additional help. Perhaps you should stop stripping our public education system of funding for your elitist schools.Your brother could enlist his mercenaries and spy networks to help protect our children.
Send our kids to school, while letting criminals out of prison in a pandemic. What sense does that make? Somebody, Please report about this!1
Yes getting back to learning is imperative but can you guarantee that our children will not get the coronavirus can I sue your ass if my child gets sick. nocurenoschool lifeovergreed
SAVEOURCHILDREN If you dont smell something fishy on BetsyDevos plans to open school during pandemic , i dont know what to say
She is absolutely the most unqualified person to ever hold that position...
Useless tool!
Dear Betsy DeVos:
Hopefully, Biden will can her sorry ass on Day 1.
She has never been in education. How can she represent the education system?
at this point she mite as well go down with the ship ,in 3 months she will be out of job anyway
DeVos will be out of a job soon! As with all Trump appointees, incompetent!
The only thing we heard from Donald Trump is open our schools. That’s not a Solution.
No prisoner should be safer than our children .
ALL staff and students should be required to have a negative eat before returning back to school.
The long range goal of getting kids back to school this Fall should be just that: a long range goal, not some decree from a bureaucrat who knows nothing about educating groups of children.
BetsyDevos do you own Wayfair stocks? are they running out of children to grab because the kids are in lockdown? You need to be investigated !
DeVos is not qualified in Education. Step down
Can she just fly away on her broomstick?
Betsy DeVos We The People ask for Help with the Coronavirus in our District Schools in June. We asked for Federal Funding In June. The CDC should have had a planned in June. All District Schools of ever States started theirs Administration plan’s in July.
BetsyDevos should resign A Person who cant show empathy to Children on Pandemic shouldnt handle Department of Education. Why does she wanted to open school so badly? What’s your intention Betsy ? You clearly have no plans by saying flexible. Screw you
BRB, going for the perfect attendance record
Smart, hands off woman who values education of any kind not just public schooling.
Davos is the Devil incarnate.
Your reportong standards are 'flexible.'
How can one do a job, if they are completely beholden and scared of their boss? Our kids health and safety are at stake...
Agreed! We can easily social distance our kids while they rehearse and do drills for active shooter situations 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Murica
Donors to crime families answer this way.
RepubliCONS always always always screw as many things up, and as much as possible for the DUMBOcrats - MAJOR PROBLEMS that require FOUR YEARS of straightening out... just so Reptilians can blame those problems on the DemoCRAPS come the next election cycle.
Trump’s crime family⬇️
She is a hazard to our children and should have a warning sign tattooed to her forehead! Sec. DeVos should be fired!
Another rich and entitled politician risking the lives of the middle and poor class for their own benefits while cutting funds to schools and universities. I want her to visit every school that is falling apart and seeing her staying there for 5 hours for a whole week.
So let's absolve the department of education and leave it to the states, but lefties would cry about that too
NO flexibility of GUIDELINES..... TO LAX ANY PART OF THE GUIDELINES WILL RESULT IN MORE DEATHS...YOU WANT THESE CHILDREN TO BE WARDS OF THE STATE? VOTE FOR JOE WEAR A MASK 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
impeach her
Good we need to get back to school in September
Education Secretary demonstrating she doesn’t know the meaning of the word “flexible.”
To get the much needed pause/guidelines in school reopenings young children and teenagers will have to get sick and/or die. Doubt Devos considers teachers and essential school workers.
Seems MSM outlets have no idea what the difference is between what a law is versus a guideline.
Not an education expert; not a pandemic expert. And she spouts off advice. What a sorry state of affairs. She needs to go.
Loyal to Trump, always! Loyal to our country, Never!
Schools are going to become a nightmare just like re-opening to soon.
She was more concerned about bears than this.
I want my child back in school as much as anyone but this nonsense of trying to wing it is absolutely ridiculous. Politics aside, there is too much potential for disaster to just throw caution to the wind. And talking about too expensive when it comes to funding is outrageous.
She is following Chump's lead by making empty threats that cannot actually come to fruition. She is the secretary of education and she doesn't even understand how funding is funneled to schools.
There are no schools that will be opened fully this upcoming school year.
I never wish death in anyone, but if something happens to a chosen few...
Be nice to bring her to a hospital without a mask and PPE, just to make it feel like she’s going to school. She might think a little harder about her response.
SHE IS A TOTAL DISGRACE
Incompetent and BiDon fool.
These idiots are not working for the American People, why cant we get them out NOW!! Why can't we fire them?
'flexible,' is not refuse. CNN
Just like laws for republicans optional flexible and fluid apparently.
And here I thought the guidelines were meant to protect people, silly me... But by all means be 'flexible' and destroy the rest of our nation.
Coward!! So far up donnie’s ass!
Those poor kids and their parents and their grandparents ....and esp elderly relatives and friends 🤭
Useless
Bc she is awful!
Yes Betsy go to school everyday with the kids. You GO!
Schools teach science but the Education Secretary doesn’t believe in science. Got it.
Wow, great to have a dithering education secretary who doesn’t overwhelmingly support the health of students. Swamp monster.
This is what happens when someone buys a position they aren't qualified to do.
I would like to see Betsy Devos visit classrooms for at least the first two weeks and then say schools shouldn’t CDC opening guidelines. I suspect she wouldn’t because it’s too risky for her but not for our children
Dana destroyer her
While listening to Betsy Devos speak to Dana Bash on SOTU July 12th, I see the evil that Hitler was able to tap into when recruiting people willing to gas Jews.
So when the CDC says something you Republicans don't want to hear the CDC is full of crap. But when the CDC says something you Republicans want to hear the CDC is all good & then y'all start sharing & posting articles from the CDC on Twitter & Facebook ha...
this interview was a sh*&tshow
This checks out
BetsyDevosIsABitch PardonMeTrump TrumpIsANationalDisgrace
Only the dumb students don't want to go back because they didn't really have a future to begin with.
The thought of having to think for one's self and be accountable for one's own actions terrifies people.
If the guidelines were meant to be “flexible”, then the CDC would have brought that to our attention. I think it’s better to listen to qualified individuals, when it comes to healthy decisions, than it is to listen to opportunistic politicians who may have an agenda.
Unbelievable that she still is in office
