3. Boom!

Yes!

[Nevilledog]

4. Good!

[soothsayer]

5. De Santis should use this time to get things under control

Ask Cuomo how. Dems know how to do it.

6. Hello Texas! No one wants to send their children into a COVID war zone.

They've sheltered these kids for 6 months. Now that Gov Abbot has run this State into Covid hell, parents are supposed to act like this is nothing.?
IT DIDN'T JUST WASH THE FK AWAY.

Applause to Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho

Enough is enough.

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. And no teacher wants to teach in one either. nt

[Budi]

12. Nope. No one wants to bring that virus home to their family

They are all uneasy with this decision to open schools.

When & how are big questions.

27. Abbott can't order Texas school districts to reopen

In Texas school districts are independent. It's even in most of their names, for example Houston Independent School District, Spring Branch Independent School District, etc.

[FM123]

7. Yep.

He has always done things his way and he has mad love for Miami. DeBlasio offered him a big job last year as the new chancellor of NYC school district and he was going to go, then changed his mind - said he couldn't leave the kids down here in his district.

8. Thank You for posting...K and R no text

[Volaris]

10. And you're gonna see a lot more of this over the next 60 days I think.

July 15-Aug 15 will be crunch time for decisions and planning now, and its gonna be a clusterfuck in a lot of places.

Gst ready.

[warmfeet]

11. Only a mass murderer would reopen

schools under these circumstances.

Thankfully, this gentleman is no mass murderer.

We have more than enough of those already.

23. That's Agent Orange to a T.

[appalachiablue]

13. Give 'em hell Carvahlo! K/R

[MyOwnPeace]

14. Maybe if we have VP Pence watch this:

he'll stand up to defend the children:

[Ligyron]

18. Now that was a treat and right on time too!

Thanks for a spot of humor in this bleak landscape we suddenly find ourselves wandering around in.

[MyOwnPeace]

21. I can find humor in things........

but when we have our President ignore bounties on American soldiers and sending children and educators into a Corona-Spreader, I really don't know how else to react to such ignorance, arrogance, and stupidity.
I either laugh or go bonkers!

[Thekaspervote]

15. Thank heavens!! It won't be just kids that get seriously sick or die

[mcar]

16. Good for him

Our small school district has been doing quite the same. Now we're faced with the Ed Commissioner's mandate to open all in-school.

SO is a public school teacher. He's 63. The only reason he's continuing to work (besides the fact that he likes it) is that we need the health insurance.

Do we risk his, and my health, for this? These SOB's care nothing for anyone who is not a wealthy donor.

17. Ok he rained on DeSanitizers parade..Can the gov remove him??? nt

[Ligyron]

20. IDK but I can't wait to remove the Gov.

[mitch96]

24. Yup, we keep getting these loosers... The criminal in the senate from Fla comes to mind

He just flat out bought his ticket.... I bet he will try to become prez........ that would be a mess..

19. For the children-- KNR 👍

[Tipperary]

22. Good for him.

Glad to hear this.

[Cha]

25. Gracias Alberto Carvalho!

[spanone]

26. Good. DeSantis is another trump-like bully. A fast talking bullshitter

[lark]

28. Hopefully Broward, the other large Democratic county, will do the same.

My area is run by the fascists who have only a minimal attachment to reality and who will do whatever drumpf and mini-me say. I am actually very surprised that Mayor Curry put in a mask requirement - but then I guess I'm not surprised at all that he included no penalties or enforcements measures.

I feel so damn bad for the working class and poor parents who have to work to survive and who have young school age children too young for home schooling. OK, they are in school, but what about when the school is closed, will there be commercial daycare and if so can't imagine how they'd keep that safe. What about buses, also dangerous. Our governor is just following his mentor, Traitor Tot, and will gladly kill us to get more money flowing in the economy to prop up the fascists aka RNC.

29. It's always the same message from GOPers:

The pandemic isn't really bad. It's just an annoyance. We can resume the normal capitalistic system, people will die, but it's not a deal-breaker. Send your kids to a viral cesspool and have them come home to the family. It's okay. You might suffer and die, but that's okay, too. Just be a good Republican and take one for the Team.

34. In NY, Cuomo just publicly announced

that Trump does not have the authority to order the schools open. He is asking the state's schools to submit their plans for opening, whether online, in person, or a combination by August. Based on what they submit and what conditions are like at the time, he will make a decision then on what to do.
