NEA's Eskelsen Garcia: ‘I Double-Dog Dare Donald Trump to Sit in a Class of 39 Sixth Graders and Breathe That Air’

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.”

You want to spend your days in a closed space with dozens of kids?

About 10 years ago I compiled some data for a local politician. He had sent surveys of a broad range of issues to all constituents. Respondents could give their names or not.

Almost ALL teachers said they liked their jobs because they hardly had to work, got summers off, and had decent pay. Not even ONE mentioned the children, helping the community, or anything like that. Oh ... and the spelling and grammar of the teachers who responded ... absolutely DREADFUL!

I’m sure she hasn’t set foot in a classroom for over a decade.

There’s about a million college educated adults with immunity.

Simply replace the worried teachers with now immune college educated adults.

No work, no pay.

That’s been my life experience.

Teachers could borrow from their pension fund.

I normally live on $5000-6000/year.

Older/sick teachers could teach online.

Teaching in school is safer than working in a grocery store.

Trump is going to attend the Republican convention along with hundreds of other people.
