WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump insists that schools reopen so students can go back to their classrooms, but the Maryland private school where his son Barron is enrolled is among those under county orders to stay closed.
Montgomery County Health Officer Dr. Travis Gayles said his order to stay closed for in-person instruction through Oct. 1 and to conduct online classes only will be reevaluated before Oct. 1 to determine whether it should be extended, terminated or amended.
Gayles noted increases in transmission rates for COVID-19 -- the disease caused by the virus -- in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia, particularly in younger age groups.
"Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have based our decisions on science and data," Gayles said in a news release announcing the decision late Friday. "At this point the data does not suggest that in-person instruction is safe for students or teachers."

(7,518 posts)He has been kept mostly from the spotlight and is an innocent bystander in this. We're not like those assholes who made fun of Chelsea Clinton.
We can certainly point out the politics of his school remaining closed while 45 tries to force others open, but Barron Trump has little to do with those decisions.

Well, first he had to think, but my sons are both grown past school! Oh, right. Melania's son.

When we know what metrics they used to determine it is safe to open Barron's schools THEN we use the same metrics to open public schools.
