include hand washing, mask wearing, not sharing materials, and keeping people at least 6 feet apart. DeVos emphasized that the guidelines are not hard rules.
“The CDC guidelines are just that, meant to be flexible and meant to be applied as appropriate for the situation,” sheon “State of the Union.” She repeatedly declined to say whether the federal government is following the CDC’s guidelines when asked. DeVos instead highlighted a need to balance virus safety with children’s education, arguing that keeping kids out of school not only stunts their education but in some cases fuels mental health issues.
“There’s nothing in the data that suggests that kids being in school is in any way dangerous,” DeVos told Wallace, despite the World Health Organization on Thursday acknowledging the possibility that“We know that other countries around the world have reopened their schools and have done so successfully and safely,” she said.
She further defended Trump’s comparison of the U.S. to several European countries where schools have safely reopened. That’s despite those countries — Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden — reporting as few as
Except, anytime they ask her about kids being asymptomatic spreaders and bringing covid home to their parents, who then go to work and spread it to other adults, she starts in with her rhetoric again and avoids the question. So, basically, if school is safe, everything is.
Until one gets sick and looses a life. What’s it going to take to make you realize how serious this is.
Yeah.. gonna take the cdc's data over yours.. you're not even qualified to be a secretary at a school let alone a gov department head.
lol k
Sooooo the students who will be in the classroom and on campus with TEACHERS, SECURITY, AND OFFICE STAFF isn’t a risk?🤔🧐This lady is a quack
They are now showing kids are the ones getting COVID.. Teens 20 something... and now we’re certain there is no worry.
I’m a teacher in special Ed. And I have to admit I am scared.. But honestly from all I hear it looks like Long Island is opening on time.
Cruella...
Obviously, she has no clue how schools operate. As the Secretary of Education, she should at least realize that schools are crowded, with closely designed classrooms, packed cafeterias, long lines, etc. not to mention full of kids who may or may not care about masks or distancing
So let me get this straight. So the education secretary knows more about a pandemic than the CDC? She must have been trumpnotized.
There's no data to prove that it's safe either. Kids aren't getting tested, so they may be asymptomatic carriers. We're putting our families and our teachers at risk.
BetsyDeVosED you so confident in this statement that you would be willing to send your child to school this fall
So its not safe for people to go shopping, watch professional sports, go to restaurants, or movie theaters, but it IS safe for hundreds of kids to go to a school.?
There's nothing in your head, BetsyDeVosED , that proves you know anything about education, schools, or COVID-19.
Agree with the above. If that were true, schools would have not closed after spring break. And I wouldn’t be working from home for 4+ months and counting.
I'm fairly certain Betsy also believed bears made frequent visits to schools as well.
So why did we close schools back in April?
