Trump economic adviser says returning to school amid pandemic is 'not that hard'
Source: The Hill
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told reporters Friday that it was important for schools to reopen in the fall despite risks from the novel coronavirus, saying safely bringing students back is "not that hard."
"The president has been very vocal about going back to school. And I would add to that, as I said, all these fancy colleges and universities, of which I went to one," Kudlow told reporters. "They should get with the drill, you know? Put the guys in classrooms and let them learn. Or, God knows what they're teaching, but whatever. I'll put it in good faith."
"Just go back to school, we can do that," Kudlow continued. "And you know, you can social distance, you can get your temperature taken, you can be tested, you can have distancing come on, it's not that hard."
Meanwhile, some teachers and teachers' groups are worried about returning in the fall. The president of the nations largest teachers union hit Trump this week for calling for schools to resume in-person classes this fall, saying reopening cannot take place without guaranteeing the safety of students and staff.

We see what happens when they let bars open prematurely, National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen Garcia said. This isnt a bar. Were talking about second graders. I had 39 sixth graders one year in my class. I double-dog dare Donald Trump to sit in a class of 39 sixth graders and breathe that air without any preparation for how were going to bring our kids back safely.

They should do this for a month, then they should sign affidavits agreeing to be put at the bottom of the triage list for any hospital treating COVID-19
Kudlow is a turd.
Let's publish a list of every member of the administration and whether their children are going to public or private schools, and if the latter, how much in taxpayer dollars Betsy DeVos is giving them to do it.
