NEA's Eskelsen Garcia: ‘I Double-Dog Dare Donald Trump to Sit in a Class of 39 Sixth Graders and Breathe That Air’
Breitbart ^ | July 8, 2020 | Trent Baker

As President Donald Trump pushes to reopen schools in the fall amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, National Education Association (NEA) president Lily Eskelsen Garcia on Wednesday “double-dog” dared the president to “sit in a class of 39 sixth graders and breathe that air.”

Eskelsen Garcia on CNN’s “New Day” slammed Trump for not using the term “safely” in his push to reopen, which she said is why the NEA supports his opponent former Vice President Joe Biden in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

Host Alisyn Camerota asked, “Are public schools ready to open in September?”

“You can see why we are supporting Joe Biden over Donald Trump. Did you hear the word he didn’t use? Safely. Safely,” Eskelsen Garcia replied. “There’s no one that wants their kids back with us more than teachers. Maybe their parent. Maybe their parents beat us out there, but we want to open it safely. We see what happens when they let bars open prematurely and you saw those young adults went home and they infected everybody around them. This isn’t a bar. We’re talking about second graders. I had 39 sixth graders one year in my class. I double-dog dare Donald Trump to sit in a class of 39 sixth graders and breathe that air without any preparation for how we’re going to bring our kids back safely.”

Lily Eskelsen Garcia is a partisan hack and a pathetic joke. At the NEA's 2019 national convention held in Houston, Texas, she presided over a hate fest dominated by BLM extremists, and radical Marxists from Oakland and Berkeley, California. Delegates in the George R. Brown Convention Center had to wait to hear the Democratic presidential aspirants because Lily needed personal time to tend to her hair, make up and wardrobe. One expected her to announce "I am ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille" when she returned.

When she references endorsing Joe Biden, she omits to state that President Trump was not allowed to address the NEA in 2019 because the presiding officer Eskelsen-Garcia deemed that Trump had disqualified himself by not bowing to the NEA.

Eskelsen-Garcia ignores the studies that show that children seem unaffected by the Wuhan virus and do not appear to serve as vectors either. She does not explain how those school children dependent upon government subsidized breakfast and lunch meals will be fed in September.

This woman is a total nutjob.

Everybody will be breathing fine until the Trump-haters set the school on fire.

These teachers unions couldn’t have asked for a better virus, they dont have to actually work and they get paid. They dont want to have to be around kids, so they scream OMG OMG THE VIRUS meanwhile they get paid a crapload of money to basically do nothing

Let them keep as many schools closed as they like. When people see that the schools that opened are fine it will be one more nail in the coffin for the Democrats. Trump will have a couple of months worth of commercials showing how the Democrats have ruined everything they control.

It is more than likely Lily hasn’t spent a whole day in a classroom in many years. This means she doesn’t know sh*t.

Tell you what, Eskelsen (if that’s your REAL name), if you had to pick between a school room of 39 kids or a New York nursing home with 39 patients, which would YOU choose?

I’m fine with you raising the bar for “safety” into the stratosphere - as long as YOU are paying for it not us.

If the teachers don’t teach, they don’t get paid. Period.

She’s also from California, so that explains why she is half baked.

Her actual term of office should be over by now, not that anyone would notice the difference in the NEA’s politics.
