"But we do have to do that safely," he added."And the first thing we need to do is we need to get the virus under control. When we get the virus more under control, then we can really think about how we put children back in the classroom."
"This is appalling," Pelosi said of the push to have kids back in school."The president and his administration are messing with the health of our children. We all want our children to go back to school. Teachers do. Parents do. And children do. But they must go back safely." On NBC's"Meet the Press," Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of Florida’s Miami-Dade County Public Schools district, said the district is"going to obviously do our very best in our community considering where the health data currently is."
"But we need the community's collaboration, we need the science to drive the practice rather than politics influencing what is legitimately a community concern," he added. Dr. Tom Inglesby, director of the Center for Health Security at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told"Fox News Sunday" that issuing an ultimatum for schools to open is wrongheaded.
She. Along with her buddy mr. trump. Don’t have a clue what there talking about. Sad. Very sad
Parent: Hey Doc! When is this pandemic going to be over? Doc: Hell if I know I’m a doctor not a politician
When BetsyDeVosED and realDonaldTrump PUSH America should PUSH BACK, what ever the issue. Their motives are always questionable. CBSNews MSNBC CNN
Mayb nt valid but necessary. I’m sure she will nt have any of her young family mbrs attending Schl in person. Her family can afford to home Schl after all
AllRepublicansAreFascists
Why does Pence always photo bomb the dumbest things ever said? 😊🤣🤣
What a dope! 🤣
Betsy paid for her position in the Trump administration.
Never taught school.
This isn’t good to go back schools and out kids can get sick CORONAVIRUS INFECTIOUS . Rate high totally worse in USA states counties more and doctors nurses are working harder that is sad they want stay home keeping and save.
Whats she doing in this Picture? Showing Trump the size of her hands?
Not worrries she’s had her hand in the COOKIE JAR and will be going to jail, post Trump.
Shut her up
Either is dieing.... What about older teachers/staff....parents at home.....grandparents?
BetsyDeVosED And our special needs and special education children? They are incredibly likely to have tragic consequences after being exposed. No plans for them. But as long as red state families want schools open, it ok..... Irresponsible. school TrumpVirusCatastrophe
Who is she to declare what is valid or not? Who is she to determine if parents can’t choose health of their children over everything else? She needs to either resign e be fired Parents education
Fuck ha, we can just homeschool our kids. We have options.
NOT YOUR FAMILY
Having an imbecile leading the Dept of Education somehow doesn’t seem to be a good idea.
this expectation that we will all have our children go back to school everyday in person is based entirely on wishful thinking and not at all on science. We have a federal administration who has a cargo cult mentality towards science. 1918 we all hid.
Our laws actually state that if you're wealthy you don't deserve to be in jail & you can go, but if you're poor, you have to stay! Wealth should never be the determining factor that decides whether or not you stay in jail. Rich politicians wrote laws to mass incarcerate the poor!
Do you know what a hybrid program is? Do you understand d how many children may die?
Ridícula, inhumana. Saquenla de ahi!
Betsy Devos has skeletons in her closets. Lecturing families? The gall of the white elites 👿🙃🔥
Why would anyone put this lady in charge of education she's a money grubbing fascist idiot 😠 and right up Trump's alley so duh I just answered my own question didn't I
You clearly don't care about the health of millions.
And having all students actively attending schools is not valid choice for anyone. Unless, of course, we are talking about private schools (wink, wink) and there are only 10 students in a classroom.
This will backfire.
Did her housekeepers and nannies tell her about what was good for families?
What happened to 'her'? Was it her daddy or her 'uncle'?
MAGA...last year it was Kevlar backpacks to protect children from mass school shooters. This is how winning looks to the GOP.
She has no idea about anything she's taking about, no idea about what her job is, has probably never been in a public school. Trump has his hand up her ass, money is the bottom line, not the safety of our kids or families
We will not sacrifice our children on the alter of the Trump cults delusions
HIP - heartless, incompetent, dangerson person BetsyDeVosED
The pandemic is not worsening!
Si la situación sigue así, van a tener que hacer un 'referendo consultivo' a ver qué opinan los padres y representantes de los niños en comenzar el año escolar en esas condiciones de emergencia sanitaria por la pandemia, vía 'on line', para que no haya problemas de contagios.
Pretending that children attending school is dangerous, is a fiction advanced by liberal teachers unions - not health care providers, and not parents. People lack resources to stop civilization until virus goes away. coronavirus lockdown schoolsreopening
There's no oxygen up there in her castle.
I think families would choose not to have their children or their beloved teachers become ill with COVID.
A woman whose whole platform for education is school choice now saying parents get no choice when their kids lives are on the line.
So provide laptops and internet service OR do something positive to help. Be positive!!!
Schools must reopen.
Is DeVos an education specialist? NOT!!!!!
Tell this bitch to fuck of!!! She has no idea about education, especially not public education. And in the midst of this deadly pandemic?! Back off, bitch!!
She could have created use of virtual learning & ball field/ staggered testing & tutoring in past several months but sat on her ass & did nothing. Shes a total ZERO. I COULD DO A BETTER JOB & I’m not an Educator. (I passed the CBEST though ... something that bozo couldn’t do)
BetsyDeVosED This fall. Covid covid19 nevertrump
Another Twitter had some great questions that would be nice if someone could answer.
But you are doing this at what risk to everyone involved
She reminds me of Eva Braun ! And SEG ,
Worsening 😂😂😂
realDonaldTrump BetsyDeVosED Killing kids is not a choice either and neither is having them spreading it to older people -- how many dead kids are acceptable? -- are children expendable to Trump? -- he cares more about his re-election than he does the health of Americans ...
They put their kids in school and see what happens Not private school public school and see what happens Because we the parents Are put I kids at risk to get Covitt 19 They are not Putting They grandkids at risk
She means not the poor families that lack access to virtual learning BECAUSE THE GOVT has never invested in expanding internet capacity or affordability to these families BECAUSE we are a greedy $-driven capitalist country that is convinced we must rob the poor to feed the rich.
Not ideal, but a better choice than getting their teachers and parents sick! On another note, why don't you (DeVos) actually go in a classroom with potentially positive Covid students and see how that goes for you.
Trump knows that many more people are going to catch the virus and die if the schools open, but he is willing to make that sacrifice.
Then it is incumbent upon BetsyDeVosED to ensure a national COVID19 response that addresses the needs of our students, schools and families.
DeVos is a joke.
Yeah lets put kids and staff in an incubator for the virus, and we should listen to you. You people have zero medical knowledge and experience and we should listen to you. Look whats its done for Texas, Florida and Arizona.
Why because mom and dad have to go to work to keep up their lifestyle? They are their kids, schools are not daycare centers. Take care of your kids, your life may depend on it.
Just like in person only voting. They want to thin the herd.
Then everyone should he working working parents to help it be a viable solution for families. Get these ASSHOLES out of office now.
Tell her to save the Rhetoric.We haven't heard from her for 4 months, & now she's going to give us her take ? I don't think so...fraud
I’m pretty sure we put our kids first not your politics.
A totaL Incompetent,
BetsyDeVosED was a major investor in theranos and runs that scam neurocore. She’s a CON and a LIAR!!! CorruptGOP SecretaryForSale DeVos
Yep. People want to go back to work and school. Even the CDC said kids should go back to school.
trumps admin is not worried about the children falling behind, nor kids transmitting the virus to other people, he's worried about getting their parents who can't work from home (more common, the lower wage earner, who support the community) back out into the virus for his vanity
She’s trying to push everybody’s buttons! Don’t listen to her just call your school board and let them know that your child will not be in school this fall! They can’t do anything for protecting your child!
I know she in the TSM tan skins matter Dam gurl wat no stickers on duty cuase u is over what!!!!
Betsy is not a valid choice for any position.
At what cost?
Why is the WH politicizing this issue? This is a Pandemic and we must be smarter than this.
Their defense if you read tha article and the quotes of officials is your children are at risk at home from abuse and being sexually abused. They have ZERO respect for the wishes of the parents and are happy risking our children's lives for political gain. Millions receive online
She hasn’t spoken in 4 years and suddenly she has a voice? She can go back to her bunker.
So change the way we work. We don’t want dead kids & teachers
In October 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted a pandemic tabletop exercise called Event 201 with partners, the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Florida just had the most cases ever in a day out of all the states and she wants to open schools she’s a dumb ass puppet as is governor DeSantis.....I’m glad my kids are out of school that’s ridiculous I would never send my kids also Lee County schools are the worst
How would she know? She’s a moron
Sec. BetsyDeVosED was never a valid choice either.
Defund the secretary of education. How about that!
I’m a parent and I guess I don’t count. My kids won’t go back.
Why does common sense need to be defended? Secretary DeVos and President realDonaldTrump are absolutely correct.
She just wants rich parents to put their kids in for-profit private schools and leave middle & low income kids in public. Then public will have too few resources, children and families will have permanent health probs or die, and the rich will dominate another generation.
Don't worry only their kids will be infected not yours!
GET READY NBC WE ARE SICK OF THE MSM LIES AND THUGS RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE
how much money did she send to private schools again?
NBC USUALLY BULL THERE IS NO REASON KIDS CANT GO BACK
Then she needs to be at a public school, maybe even here in Florida, to welcom all the teachers and students back
🌎 💚💚💚💙💙💙 God bless you 👍 Thank you 👍 🌎 🌏 🌍
This heretic has no regard for kids or education, she wants to destroy public schools before her master is forced out of power. Private religious schools do not have follow scholastic guidelines or equal employment opportunities.
But she has no answer to what happens when one child or teacher gets Covid in a school.
Right. Kids pass around colds and various other illnesses ALL THE TIME. Why will this be any different, exactly Feeling pretty good about opting not to have kids.
Europe is opening schools as well. This is all political.
If the gouvernment was so concerned about their Economy why didn’t they stop the coronavirus. Oh yeah they were trying to make money at the same time and now it’s too late.
Will realDonaldTrump be sending Baron to public school then?
They literally want to kill people - not even trying to hide it anymore.
The only question is, when they’re all gone on Jan 21 will it be too late.
Think about the BusDrivers, custodians teachers paraprofessionals and others who will put their lives and their families lives on the line if schools open in person. As a BoardofEducation member for over 12 years I say NoWay to reopening the classrooms.
She has no books on her bookshelves.
How the Hell would she even know this?
