    1. RaChica Conyers You must watch Randy Rainbow interviewing Devos, it’s Fkn hilarious 🤣 He confirms all of
      the issues

    2. Yes she does. She is setting up the system to fail so they can funnel kids into private schools to rake in the money.

  1. I be darn if I just toss my children back into those school buildings too soon.

    1. Newdark Neoss You are going to compare the US with 65,000 infections a day and close to 1,000 deaths a day with Germany that has had at most 8,000 deaths in total. We have 134,000 deaths. Apples and Oranges. Compare the US to Brazil or India not Germany or Japan. The US has officially failed in this pandemic.

    2. The World According to Allie . Good on you. You must watch Randy Rainbow interviewing Devos, it’s Fkn hilarious 🤣 He confirms all of the issues

    3. Newdark Neoss Germany is on the recovery side of the virus. They like most countries have slowed down their number of new cases and are ready to open up responsibly, USA has the most case in the world right now your numbers just keep getting worse so you are no where near ready to be sending children to school yet. Think things though.

    4. @jcllings Don’t you dare conflate the immoral religious right with homeschooling. You’re only fooling your own like-minded delusional believers.

    5. @Traci M Tell that to the trump. Oh, nevermind, he won’t care.

      You’re right the US numbers are rising everyday and in no way ready to reopen. I wouldn’t even open the NY schools yet, honestly. But they open in September so we’ll see about that next month.

  2. She hasn’t done anything for teachers period. She’s not an educator. She doesn’t have a degree in education. She has no idea what she is doing. Her pockets are aligned. Same as boring Ben Carson. He has a medical degree not a human social resources degree.

    1. Veronica Valencia well spoke Veronica. I’m sick of that kind of behavior myself. It might as well be hate speech, as it serves zero purpose other than to provoke otherwise decent people.

    2. @Veronica Valencia Settle down Karen. You do realise that you are doing the very thing that you are accusing someone else of? That’s one of the problems with the left, they aren’t tolerant of differing opinions and they react poorly. Each time universities shut down free speech on campus, all prime examples because it were only conservative right that were targeted. And they don’t just go after the speaker themselves, anyone that dare to want to go and see for themselves are turned away too. You could be deaf, dumb and blind? Educator’s should be concentrating on reading, writing, mathematics, science, geography, history (ancient or modern), trade skills, home ed, environment, art, music, sport, ethics. Teach our kids to be thinkers not followers, your harming generations to come by trying to indoctrinate them into future Democrats. Allow kids a choice by providing them with the tools to make up their owns minds.

    3. Gary Kain -We can’t allow kids to make up their own minds, or genders for that matter. There’s actually legislation out there which permits teachers to tell your kid they are the opposite gender without telling you or gaining permission first. Yikes! Keep the schools closed!

    1. @Truth 4tufftimes! Ahh! You admit to the Devos agenda! The biblical viewpoint is a method to indoctrinate children into a particular system of fairy tales. Devos wants to violate the Constitution by using public money to push a particular fairy tale system that she has faith in. Faith by the way is a belief in something with no evidence.

    2. She doesn’t care about children or education, unless there’s a profit for her personally

    3. J. Whisper -Fairy Tail, universe explodes out of nothing. Human DNA code evolves from pond scum. Earth at exact distance from Sun and moon to sustain tides and life. Multiple scientists agree with the biblical account of creation but they’ve lost their voice. Put a bunch of random car parts in a warehouse, throw in a few sticks of dynamite and see if a corvette drives out. This the equivalent of what’s taught in public school regarding origins of life.

    4. Mdlclass Worker Do you know her on a personal level? Why is it suddenly ok to characterize and identify people without getting to know them. I feel a lot of hate towards this women because of her Christian beliefs.

    5. @Mdlclass Worker 9.1% of the entire USA GDP is God and tax free. American religious scams are the 16th largest GDP globally if it were a country. They own the politicians. They are part of the Libertarian Anarcho-Syndicalist Theocracy the L.A.S.T. 4 justices seated by an unelected POTUS want. Mitch got his Feudalism 2.0.

  3. Trump has no business offering medical advice, and is at risk of practicing without a license.

    1. He didnt the cdc did remember social distance wear face covering yea he also suggested yall do the same he dis not offer medical advice he repeated what the cdc said

    2. #DonTheCon and his admin have the luxuries of regular testings and high quality treatments if they are ever infected, yet they are pushing people without such privileges into the the killing zones of Covid-19.

    3. @Judy Ives I gave Trump the vote in 2016 and nope if I had kids they would not be going to school in September. But homeschool. and I want to see Trump send Barron to public school in the fall now. but on the political speak I’ll insult China all day with kung flu as they killed our country.

    4. @Judy Ives Using that term was just to get under your skin. That’s Trump’s tactic. He likes getting under people’s skin. I wouldn’t take the bait. You’re just giving them what they want.

    1. @RSS HA ha. 86% of the people who get WuFlu never knew they had it. They were never sick. What is there to fear if you never have any ill effects and if 99.74% of people survive just fine. Stop fearing the boogieMan virus.

    2. @Lucius Kiirus
      I doubt you’ll ever tell that to a surgeon, if you need a surgery.
      If they told you they weren’t going to wear mask while operating on you, you’d probably try to sue them, like the hypocritical PAB you are.

    3. Lucius Kiirus where is the 99% number from? As the mortality rate is higher than 1%, the numbers do NOT add up.

      Then there’s the long term effects of the infection after it’s gone: loss of smell, diabetic symptoms, sterility. Brain damage.

      After all that, the 99% looks bogus.
      Put up or shut up.

  4. She was given the position because she is a Trump donor. Why do you also expect her to do something?

    1. She is also the sister of Eric Prince, CEO of Blackwater (name has been changed several times to discourage tracking). Blackwater provides goons and mercenaries to failing regimes worldwide. i guess trump can get a rebate.

    2. @LUIS VELEZ Yup Educated people tend to think by themselves, take facts into account and whatnot. It’s all downhill from there on

    1. @Dorian Shades of gray I call bs. So, you are saying you got you PhD without the help of ANY educator and your successful completion of your education was in SPITE of all your educators???

    2. @Dorian Shades of gray and this is a federal problem, affecting the entire country, therfore the federal government should step in and help out. Thats why we have this system.

    1. @Luke Marohn False, they have friends and other family member their own age. They go out with their parents to communicate with others!

    2. @Dorian Shades of gray
      Great point…especially schools in a Democrat run city where violent crime, drug use and pedophiles roam freely.

    3. David, are you guys studying the Constitution? If you know and understand that document, you’ll be heads and shoulders above most. I wish you the best in life. Do good things for yourselves.

    1. stjohn1974
      that how oboma government was run but the mocking bird marxist media never held them accountable.

  5. The same people that used to call schools “marxist training camps” now want to force kids back at them during pandemic???!!
    Are you kidding me???

    1. Kazadi Kashama Flip-flopping is the status quo when you shoot from the hip like scumbag Trump and co.

    2. He wants the appearance of normalcy. That everything is okay. To show the voters that he did good.

      What we’ll get is a new wave of COVID cases, and deaths, in children. Children with brain damage. Children with so sense of smell. Children who are diabetic.

  6. I feel so awful for the uphill battle these teachers have to fight against Betsy Devos, who because of her fanatical drive to dismantle public education, makes the whole struggle an ideological battle.

  7. Remember when Betsy Devos tried to cut funding to the special olympics. This administration is just heartless.

    1. She didn’t try she succeeded. She also cut the education budget by over 8 million and went against court orders and continued to take money from students who were victims of fraudulent colleges. The special Olympics was funded by citizens donations. She is truly the worst thing trump has done to America.

    2. @Lucius Kiirus you’re a basket turd*
      *a turd of such heinous nature, it must ride in a basket in the sewer – sequestered from the other turds.

    1. What would you have done differently,do tell ! How serious is seriously.You are being lied to by CNN and playing along with it !

    1. The road to hell.is paved with good.intentions,keep.listening to.CNN.long enough and you will.find.out soon enough

    2. Robert Onditi Dr. trumps advice is suicidal. All he cares about is the economy for he can look good and get reelected. I understand he’s a stable genius but I’m betting on Dr. Fauci with a real medical license.

    3. @Lucius Kiirus I’m sorry, did you forget that Trump wore a mask into a military hospital literally yesterday?

    4. Dear@kiricalo ,the economy is the only thing we should never loose sight of,it underwrites everything else,i am glad TRUMP is lazer focussed on that,and you should to,And you know why ? You take away a man’s life when you take away the means by which he lives.The point of every crisis in life is to make it to the other side,not to stay in perpetual victimhood. If the number of cases is so high,like cnn is reporting,how come deaths are at an all time low,do you know yesterday only 274 people died of corona in the entire USA,is that justification to keep staying at home and not opening schools.And by the way,of the people who died,nearly all had preexisting conditions ! Stop watching CNN,they have other agendas,just because they say stuff that mimic your talking points,doesn’t mean you believe in the same thing ! And i believe you are smart enough to know when TRUMP is being quoted out of context and what he really means ! Open your eyes.

    1. Don’t think so small. Trump would make a coat out of children stuck all over him to block a bullet from hitting him.

    1. To Christopher M Trump has made a big assumption here that teachers, and all faculty and staff and all students and parents are agreeable to all getting back in the classroom As Trump opened up the economy too soon we see the nasty effects if that right now. Opening up the schools too soon would probably have the same effect. I believe that Trump must see that lives are more important than schools receiving the money. I think each state should contact their neighboring state (teachers and parents and all agreeable faculty persons including the kitchen staffs, maintenance people nurses etc and go on strike and keep students and everyone out of schools until it is safe . If everyone refuses to do what Trump wants he might get the hint. He is being a bully and I think it is time to stop. He has no capacity within himself to understand the fears of everyone on this issue. Go on strike and don’t budge from your homes. To hell with the money. Lives are much more important. Good luck

    2. @Meryle W he let Roger Stone go because of the virus in jail. But wants to send kids to school, what does that tell you?

    3. @Meryle W I agree. I wish we could strike, but it is illegal in my state. I’d get fined $1000 each day I strike. My district could lose 5% of their funding if they don’t penalize us.
