DeVos asked if she has a plan to reopen schools. See her response

CNN's Dana Bash speaks to Education Secretary Besty DeVos about whether or not she has a plan for schools to safely reopen for students as Covid-19 cases surge in the US.

[elleng]

1. No

[cayugafalls]

2. She looks batshit crazy. Wide eyed and crazy as a loon.

Will not answer the question, just says go back to school...

What a piece of work.

[BigmanPigman]

9. She's saying that this is good for $$$$$.

People have to get back to work, it is good for the economy, blah, blah, blah. NOTHING about Science, doctors' suggestions, teachers' and school districts' opinions, new buildings and supplies, no money as it is, ongoing and increasing pandemic, etc.


To really be a super bitch she threatens them with $$$ cuts. It is always about the $$$ with these assholes.

[rusty quoin]

3. The question is how much are you willing to pay out to teachers who die

personally rich bitch, head of education, because you helped kill them Amway harpie?

[Phoenix61]

4. Dana did a great job trying to get a straight

answer out of DeVos. Sadly, it didn’t work.

[pazzyanne]

5. The reason for it not working is that Betsy doesn't have a personal thought in her head.

Betsy can only vomit out the talking points that she has been given. She has no dedication to improving education, only the desire to support the tRump mis-administration.

[Skittles]

6. she acts like she cares about "poor and vulnerable" children

fuck you, HAT SPAT woman

[Maraya1969]

7. If the US mandated mask wearing and some other safety measures right now we would probably

be ready to let kids go back to school around the time that schools are supposed to open.

We can stop the spread of this virus by mandating masks.

For that reason alone Trump should be removed by the 25th amendment and if Pence doesn't do it then Nancy Pelosi should take over.

This is a matter of life and death

[DallasNE]

8. But, But, But

Republicans for years have been attempting to destroy the public school system. Church schools, charter schools and home schooling.

Wait, DeVos just listed all of the harm that comes to kids when they are not in a classroom. That would mean that these same harms would come to kids that are home schooled. So, which is it?

[Alliepoo]

12. Absolutely spot on!!

The point you made about kids that are home schooled!!

[mucifer]

10. what the hell her last sentence. "If there is a short term flair up for a few days"

What is a few days flair up of covid???

[Chainfire]

11. Well, I certainly want to go to the YMCA for national health care research.

[Evergreen Emerald]

14. Right?!

As if the Center for Disease Control is just another "opinion." She follows the guidance of the YMCA versus the experts in the field.

We are so fu*ked.

[kacekwl]

13. She obviously has no desire to do the job which

is hard. She shows she like trump is lazy and expects the minions to do the work. Resgin now for the sake of education and children.

[MiniMe]

15. "kids are going to fall behind"

Fall behind what? Every kid in the world right now is in the same situation. She is a total ditz

[jaxexpat]

16. So, what is the current bid for a civilization in rapid decline?

It's always for sale and bargain prices are just around the corner.
"Conservatives" never have good ideas on how to deal with unanticipated turns of events. They're just not wired for thinking out of their box. They rely on lying as the go-to method of justification for their disasters. All that power and no good result, ever. De Vos is simply a classic example of silver spoon fed, pyramid scheme inheriting, "how dare you repeat hard questions" huffing, "I don't have to do this job for a living, you know" attitude, "volunteerism". But lady, this ain't the PTA.

[usaf-vet]

17. LIAR! Plain and simple. Got nothing to do with kids & learning is got to do with economy and polls

[Warpy]

18. Kids I know have not stopped learning. They've been doing it vie computer

or even Smart Phone. Some parents I know have thought that inadequate, so they've started home schooling. Yes, kids are going to be behind where they should be, but they'll be alive and behind, something preferable to being caught up and then dead.

DeVos has tried to justify this by citing the rosiest numbers for child fatality from this diseas, something that would kill "only" about 15,000 kids across the country. She has neglected the morbidity statistics, the number of kids with longlasting problems. She wants the default day care system open again so she can get back on the gravy train.

And Betsy, those nerd glasses aren't helping you look smarter. You look like an airhead in borrowed nerd glasses.
