We've already seen the COVID disasters that materialized from re-opening many southern states far too early.

For political reasons, Trump and his GOP governors simply refuse to apply those hard lessons to opening up schools too early.

But Trump isn't feeling confident enough to send his son Barron to a public school, and I'd bet the governors also have other plans for their own children.

Strangely missing from that sentence are the words "safely or unsafely."

No, opening the schools is ****ing dumb, and Republican cultists are responsible for it in my state. **** them in the ear sideways with a phone pole for putting my family at risk. Distance learning was the obvious choice, and every one of those Republican elitist ********ers are having their own kids do that. Meanwhile, my kid is licking toys at school. Even if nothing happens, which I hope is the case, I will never forgive these stupid assholes.

Your state and school district might be all Republicans, but that's not everywhere. States and districts that are very Democrat are also reopening. This isn't just a "**** Republicans" thing. To say that it is just one-sided is an obvious dishonest argument.

The Republican governor put my wife and child at risk in order to kiss the ass of a stupid spray painted orange moron, Josie. That's the ****ing end for me. They'll sacrifice you too for their pathetic egos. Wake up.

Sigh. Helix, you're very angry. I get it. I'm very nervous, anxious and a bit panicky too.

But saying it's ONLY REPULICANS reopening school isn't honest, is it?

I didn't say You said it, but several people on this site do so regularly.

It's best to not assume everyone on one side thinks and says exactly the same thing.

It's ****ing Republicans here, and they're the militant maskless, too. **** them all. I watch it every day. We have been extremely careful, and I have been the one putting myself at risk to go to stores and work to help with the pandemic. Now it's all **** because these assholes either have no imagination, want to kiss Tweety's ass, or both. That's my kid on the line now, man. My kid. I can't forgive that.

Not all school districts offer remote learning.

Not all school age children have access to the internet.
Nor do they all have access to a device .

I work in a very low income district. All of our students will be given an electronic device and they're working on funding to help those families who don't have WIFI. I imagine districts around the country are working on that.

Because of the measures taken.

There's been lots of things "he can't do". Expropriating funds from the pentagon for his wall, for example.

Yes, that got overturned, but it took a year.

But that is what Trump wants, demanded or else he threatened to refuse funding.

Here, they have elected to give the entire city free wifi. They hope to have it operational by mid September.

I haven't heard or read him saying he wants school to go back to completely normal with 100% of students in class at one time, no masks, no social distancing, no extra cleaning, no precautions at all. Can you link me?
 
Josie said:
I'm very aware of the CDC document. Trump can't constitutionally eliminate funding to schools.

Then he shouldnt be even threatening to do so.

Of course he shouldn't. He shouldn't say a lot of things that come out of his mouth.

Heck my State threatened the school districts with the same thing until Reality bit them in the arse and now they are back peddling and all talking about safety and remote learning.

How are school districts supposed to afford those things? Teachers already have kids packed in their classes. There are students that leave class each day for additional help and teachers that come into classes each day to give other students help.

Trump said fully open. That was his threat.

Fully opened cannot be done with social distancing standards in most schools across the country.
