MSNBC host dumbfounded as his panel of pediatricians unanimously support schools reopening

Here is a half-minute of pure political pleasure for conservatives – and parents of school age children. With many European countries already re-opening schools, and with science(!) telling us that otherwise healthy children almost ever get or transmit the COVID-19 virus, it really isn’t surprising that all 6 pediatricians on the video panel enthusiastically endorsed re-opening the schools and sending their own children to them.

But it pretty clearly came as a shock to the MSNBC host. (I am afraid that I don’t watch enough MSNBC to know his name).

Opening schools is a great political position. The Left can cry but parents and students and health experts agree, open the damn schools.

I’m guessing he’s not a lawyer. One of the first things they teach you in law school is to never ask a question unless you already know how it will be answered.

Every time I see that guy I think it is Don Lemon but I don’t think it is. It’s like they are cloning angry gay liberals on that network.

[FlipWilson]

Which only means that other hosts, and later this host, will simply find another panel or panels who agree with him. In short, it’s pass out the white coats time at MSNBC.

“What? Open the schools? You stupid, ignorant sh**s! I’m the one who knows what is right because I went to a first rate journalism school! You’re just a bunch of ignorant country bumpkin doctors. Stupid fools!”

[a little elbow grease]

Shocking, I tell you!

For the school districts that are saying they will not open, wonder if there is still time or political pressure sufficient to get them to instead open. Here in Reno they are finalizing plans to not open, now at last second they are asking for parent input. Something they should have done first.

[Reily]

Aren’t all MSNBC talking heads dumbfounded? They start the day that way, go through the day in that mental state then end the day dumbfounded. They probably sleep dumbfounded.

[Buckeye McFrog]

This is basically why the media is trying to pretend that no doctors exist aside from Fauci.

I would guess you have read some of the comments to the China Virus thread in The Pub on The Gear Page. Man, those weirdos are rabid wacko there.

Washington states schools are going back - but with a twist. They’re starting with the black kids first, followed by the white kids later. This is supposed to be some sort of affirmative action gesture but I’ve been spreading it around that the officials are experimenting on the black kids to make sure that it is safe for whites to go back.

I do hope the rumor goes viral...

I accidentally caught the interview that Chris Wallace had with Betsy DeVos. He was an absolute ass. She was, of course, advocating for the opening of schools. He was not having it. I detest that man.

I really do wonder how no school has affected children

For example, teen daughters can be hell under normal circumstances but what happens during no school

Here is the latest on a teen brat in the media eye . George Conway has finally shut her down

And just like that the Democrats are for home schooling and the Republicans are for public schooling

“I really do wonder how no school has affected children”

For starters, Big Media is now pretending that child abuse does not happen.

I wrote my school board last night and begged them to open the schools. They likely won’t (will decide today) and will likely offer only 100% “distance learning” which I’ve already been to last Spring and means posting one assignment a week, no tests and no grades and no teaching. FOR HIGH SCHOOL. And this is a top district in the state.

I feel like those nations in Africa that struggle to get their girls education. I can’t believe the United States has fallen this far.

I will write Betsy Devos today and President Trump and beg for an Executive Order that requires/encourages the reopening of schools as he did for the meat packing plants. Surely the education of children in the US is as important as eating pork chops.

Europe and Asia reopened schools successfully—why wouldn’t the US? Do we value our children so little?

I’ve already moved my teen girl to a private small Christian school nearby, but I care about other children more than my own.

Think of it—now millions of LA children will be roaming the streets this next year or playing video games. I read 40% don’t have wifi to even do “distance learning” and teachers put some videos on PBS last Spring.

It’s awful.

[RummyChick]

That would be a big one.

Parents who might border on child abuse but never crossed that line before Covid might now

and how are parents going to make a living and deal with children at home and the ripple effect

So many cascading problems

“Opening schools is a great political position. The Left can cry but parents and students and health experts agree, open the damn schools.”

Want to see how fast schools are opened? Just say that teachers and administrators will not be paid during the closure. And, that property taxes will be prorated while school is not in session.

I think that is the impetus behind the opening in Blue states, they know that argument is coming and don't want it to catch fire.
