Trump encourages governors to 'seriously consider' reopening schools

[RandySF]

As states continue to roll out plans to reopen their economies, President Donald Trump told governors during a Monday phone call that they should also "seriously consider" reopening their schools.

"Some of you might start thinking about school openings. Because a lot of people are wanting to have the school openings. It's not a big subject, young children have done very well in this disaster that we’ve all gone through," Trump told governors, according to a recording of the call obtained by ABC News. "So a lot of people are thinking about the school openings."

The president added the governors should "seriously consider" it and "maybe get going on it."

On April 16, the White House rolled out recommendations for states to roll back social distancing restrictions over three stages, providing they met certain testing, health care and other criteria. The first phase called for some businesses to reopen, while the federal government did not recommend states reopen schools until the second phase.

Did he mention at all what FLAVOR the Kool-Aid will be? If they drink it, at least it should be a delicious flavor.

WARNING: TOXIC BIOHAZARD! That should be the new Presidential Seal.

To anybody who listens to the ultracrepidarian, I have some amulets for sale that are proven to protect you from the virus.

18. Get the "l" out of here!

No, seriously - get the "l" out of "ultralcrepidarian". U-L-T-R-A-C-R-E-P-I-D-A-R-I-A-N

I always say I learn something new everyday on DU. Today it's "ultracrepidarian". Thanks for the new (to me) word.



P.S. I vote for grape.

20. Oops!

Sorry. Will fix that.

Grape is fine. They will probably go for it.

[Totally Tunsie]

22. Glad you weren't offended. I was hoping to keep it light.

(Figured it was just a typo, but it's still a great word.)

[Newest Reality]

25. Oh, no, not at all.

I make plenty of typos these days, (getting old) and I often miss them now, so thanks for pointing it out. I type rather fast as I think out a comment and should go back over it for errors. My bad.

No offense taken.

That is important especially because it is not a common word and people might want to learn it the correct way it is spelled and look it up. It fits the character like a glove, though.

Appreciated.

10. Look out, Governors. It's a trap. If infections increase, Trump will blame you for acting.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....what I am saying is you won't be fooled again.

11. thankfully my state has already issued

shutdown of the schools for the rest this academic year ..

13. How many more people died in NYC because DiBlasio hesitated about closing the schools?

These people are fucking clueless. Children have generally mild cases, but they are carriers to people who die.

[tblue37]

27. Teachers would be at serious risk. Besides, the school year is essentially over already. nt

[greenjar_01]

29. In some places. In Chicago and NYC, school goes through mid-late June

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

14. Why not? Kids don't vote and teachers vote Democratic.

What does he have to lose by making teachers and kids deathly ill?

16. trump should keep his fucking ignorant mouth shut.

17. A few Days ago

NC Gov Cooper cancelled in class schooling for the rest of the year which I applaud. So we will continue our eLearning efforts. As a NC High School teacher it's been challenging getting kids to do anything. Many of them see it as a looong Spring Break or summer vacation. It will be interesting to see what the fall semester will look like when we start back in late August.

21. Hopefully this is all only temporary.

I hope that by this time next year we will have a working vaccine and we will all go back to our schools and jobs.

19. They. Want. Us. Dead.

Biden should be making this the biggest issue of his campaign. It's pretty clear that the GOP doesn't care about us anymore.

[bdamomma]

23. his next

target kill children. bastard lunatic

[BGBD]

26. He seems to forget

that schools are full of people who are over 60 or that millions of children live in the same home as their grandparents.

[BGBD]

24. NC, VA, and WV

have all canceled classes for the remainder of the school year.

If you are a governor and you bring classes back right now, you better start practicing your response for when the first teacher or school nurse dies from a COVID-19 infection they picked up because of exposure at the school.

28. Kansas, too, though our GOP legislators tried to force our Democratic governor to
