The Hill ^ | 11/01/2022 | LEXI LONAS

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona has tested positive for COVID-19, the Department of Education announced on Tuesday.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Communications and Outreach Kelly Leon said Cardona tested positive on Tuesday morning.

Cardona is experiencing mild symptoms but is fully vaccinated and boosted, according to the statement.

“Secretary Cardona will continue attending meetings and performing his duties as Education Secretary while working remotely and in isolation. The Secretary will return to in-person meetings and events when he tests negative,” Leon said.

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden, both of whom had their own coronavirus breakthrough cases earlier this year, are not close contacts of the secretary.

What a shame. How will our kids ever get educated with a sick Education Secretary? How will we possibly get by?

“experiencing mild symptoms but is fully vaccinated and boosted”

so I guess he’s lucky to have all that shiite floating around his system protecting him or he’d be in real trouble.

/s

But the Narrative demands you can’t use “fully vaccinated” anymore, gotta use “up-to-date”?

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona is another one that needs to be s**t canned. We don't need any "education secretaries". We could save billions by eliminating the the Department of Education.

Its only purpose is to empower the teachers' union and leftist college administrators and professors. It is used for racial and ethnic set-asides for unqualified commies like Miguel Cardona. The Department of Education needs to be zeroed out.

Not sure why they keep calling them ‘breakthrough cases’. Seems they should call testing negative for covid if there are symptoms in the vaxxed, Breakthrough tested negative.

The old term used for “breakthrough” was vaccine failure. Which is what this appears to be.

I am with you 100%. All education should be handled at the local levels, paid for by localities with the taxpayers determining winning and losing teachers.

Why is he in isolation and working remotely? He has all his shots and boosters, so he can’t get Covid or spread it. Biden even confirmed that. Those tests must be wrong.
