Open the schools. We do not need a nation of dummies.

I may be in a tiny minority here, but I actually support the NEA on this one. I place the blame for all this sh!t squarely on every governor who imposed any lockdown orders over the last 3-4 months -- along with the Trump administration, too.

You can’t run around issuing national emergency declarations, shutting down schools and businesses, and clamoring about a “war” against an “invisible enemy” ... and then expect people to just take your word for it when you tell them it’s OK to go back to work, school, etc.

Back in the early spring the American public was told that these shutdowns were necessary for TWO WEEKS -- to "flatten the curve."

We're still dealing with this sh!t -- FOUR F#%&ING MONTHS LATER.

These teachers have all the leverage they need to stay home from work indefinitely.

Good luck putting this genie back in the bottle, all you morons out there who bought into this hysteria back in March.

I just wish we hadn’t turned a blind eye to this public school catastrophe for the past 3 decades. If we had been pushing a great alternative now would be a great time to roll it out and watch the teacher’s unions knock over little old ladies rushing back to the classrooms.

The GOP is a mess, really let us down.

Yeah open the schools so we can back to indoctrination! I’m sure copies of “White Fragility” are being massed produced at this very moment to start the edgeimication off right.

One thing that President Trump needs to do is to get his messaging on this consistent. No point in saying, “We need to get the schools open...now!” on the one hand, while having Dr. Fauci be the sole resident expert on Covid terrifying the populace with his “We’re all gonna die if we don’t mask up, social distance, stay in lockdown until there is a cure” message at the same time, emanating from the same White House.

“The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued its “Guidance for School Re-entry” report. It provides extensive guidance for safe reopening and operation of schools. It begins saying: “[T]he AAP strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school. “

Sounds like business is slow for them, so they need to pick things up a bit.

Look at the BS Harvard and the Rockefeller Foundation are pushing for the South/Trump Country/swing states!
