Just heard according to CNN Trump is wanting schools to open.

[Texaswitchy]

Pressuring the Governors.

First the meat plants now schools.

Asshole does not care how many people will die.

Just get back to normal.

No way the kids the four kids on the farm are going back to school.

They are doing well online.

1. I think he's tired of Baron playing video games. "Aren't you supposed to be in school?"

[Shrike47]

17. I doubt it. It's not like they live together.

[whistler162]

23. Barron found this neat game ON HIS FATHER'S pc

along with TIC-TAC-TOE called Thermalnuclear War..... want to play a game?

2. The school year is almost over, and in many states

it's been canceled for the rest of the term. He can't make the governors re-open the schools. While it's true that children are less likely to become seriously ill, occasionally they do and some have died; and even if they don't get very sick or remain asymptomatic, they can take the bug home to their families.

3. He wants to pretend there is no invisible Deadly VIRUS...

Had his surrogate team spread Gross Misinformation that this is just the FLU...carry on as usual....

Bring more bodybags!

4. Our school board will look at doing just that on May 6th.

[murielm99]

5. Schools are under local control.

That is why we have elected school boards. They work with the states for standards, funding and calendars, among other things. Some things are mandated at the state level. State and local officials will make those decisions, not the orange madman.

6. too bad he does not use that act to get testing/PPE the number one priority nt

[Squinch]

7. Even if he DID have any power to do this, which he doesn't, most parents would not send their kids.

[Texaswitchy]

9. I bet he is pressuring the Governors right now.

Must make it like normal.

18. Right - my 6 yr old niece has Asthma - She will not be returning to school under any circumstances

For the school year. They keep saying that children will not suffer the same consequences and forgetting that quite a bit of children have asthma. What about them?

Also, there was a report yesterday in the UK - giving warning that they are seeing increases in toxic syndromes and Kawasaki disease in children. Some of those children also tested positive for Covid 19 so they are wondering if this uptick in toxic syndrome and Kawasaki is a result of Covid 19. My niece also had Kawasaki disease when she was 4 yrs old. Its a rare illness, if not treated promptly can lead to cardiac issues.

There is a lot we don't know about this virus. It is appalling that politicians are so free wheeling with the public's health.

[Texaswitchy]

8. We have a 95 year old woman with us.

My friend and I are 66.

No way the kids are bringing this virus home.

[ThoughtCriminal]

10. We have a lot of teachers that are 60+

some, with health issues. Hard enough to keep them when it isn't a threat to their lives.

[Texaswitchy]

11. My friend is a retired teacher.

She works with kids.

The kids are doing fine.

Fuck Trump.

[luvs2sing]

12. DeWine just said schools can consider having graduation ceremonies..

if they can maintain social distance. Utter bullshit.

[Texaswitchy]

13. Pressure from Trump.

No federal aid.

[luvs2sing]

16. Yup. He also reversed his position..

of mandating mask wearing. Ohio is just a little bit pissed off this afternoon,

[Texaswitchy]

19. The Texas Gov is the same.

Kissing Trump ass.

[spiderpig]

14. I stick my fingers in my ears and go "la-la-la-la"

whenever he opens his piehole.

But I do read DU and silently scream.

[OkSustainAg]

15. My daughter has less than 2 weeks left.

They won't open hear in Ok. She is graduating. Son already out for years now.
School days for my family are done. Got them through HS. Her college is down the road. They are already working to do what they can for fall semester even if starting online.

[holka22]

20. And who is going to teach them,

serve meals, clean and disinfect the building every day, run the schools?

[Texaswitchy]

22. Trump is running from the disinfecting story.

He is cooked.

I think he just to burn everything down.

21. Dr. Oz just said our children should go back to school because only 2-3% of them would die.

Pick any two out of each hundred that you are ok with dying.

24. It literaly hurts people having a fool as president. He's calling for things opening because he...

thinks that will bring back the economy before the election. The deaths, even of children are of no concern to him but his non-logic is so faulty—betting that the dead will be overlooked with a raging Dow is the unempathetic bad beat of all time, it will just drag him and the country down further. Any sentient being can see that but he's way past that as the sentient meter registers zero when pointed towards him.

Every inclination, thought and move he's made in this crisis has been astoundingly wrong, and that continues. Our hope is November and Biden's election.

[Texaswitchy]

25. And he is scared.

He better find another country to live in.

He.will be in legal trouble.

No he.does not care who dies.
