Thousands of students, staff sent home nationwide as COVID snarls school reopenings'We just don't know enough information—and unfortunately, we're going to have to act.' With continued uncertainty around the coronavirus, parents and educators are being forced to make difficult decisions as the school year approaches. Betsy DeVos seems to be getting her way with destroying the public school system. Betsy and Trump have no logical plan for our schools and no intentions on creating one. Their plan seems to be one that throws the kids in class and say, it is what it is. What the world needs is the only one that is the first time the world is the only way out of the main market in a few weeks of life in a way where it is true to be a part in the 12th generation

L.A. school bus drivers circle city hall honking horns, demand funding to reopen schools safelyBus drivers from the nation's second-largest public school district paraded around downtown L.A. to demand funding to help schools in the state reopen safely. On Thursday, California became the first state to report over 600,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus. Insensitive? After seeing Newsweek revive racism via birtherism, and then play the 'well it was just one person's opinion' game, I am opting not to click on any Newsweek links or read any of newsweek's articles. Your publication is a shell of what it used to be. you should be ashamed Wasting fuel!
