How many times have we heard Trump and his stooges preach they want all schools to fully reopen with in person learning. In fact they have threatened to cut funding to districts that don't. Trump wants you to sacrifice your kids while protecting his.

Barron Trump's School Not Resuming Classes Like Normal This Fall Despite Trump's Push to Reopen

The private school said it was planning to conduct online classes or go to a hybrid model, where students come to campus in shifts and some can be remote, because of novel coronavirus concerns

Rick Scott’s grandchildren will be ‘distance learning’ when school starts

Some parents might want to send their kids to school for 'a subsidized meal.'

Just one of the many ways tRump demonstrates his hypocrisy.

He says there is too much testing, and only since what was probably extreme pressure has even mentioned masks as a good idea....
He know testing and masks work, as everyone that comes near him is tested and masked.

I agree that a private school's decision to remain closed at the start of the school year are not reflective of hypocrisy on the part of the parent.

A parent advocating as strongly as Trump does for public schools to reopen, endangering other people's children and lives, who does NOT then enroll their child in public school when the private schools are closed does show immense hypocrisy.

If Trump is serious about ordinary kids getting back to in person school full time he could put pressure on his kids private school to do the same. Nothing but crickets.

Don't act like Trump has never pressured private companies before. So do you think it's safe for kids to go back to full time in person school?

So that's cool, threaten public school funding because they don't open full time and in person while his and other rich kids are protected.

Nice to see you have standards.

I'm not defending any of that. But to say Trump is responsible for the Private School not opening up completely is because his son goes there is silly.

So Trump is hypocrite because he didn't take an action you would have been vehemently opposed to.
I do believe I could drive my truck through the hole in that logic.

This administration sends lots of money to private schools so they should all in step with the presidents words.

If those schools want to do as they please then they should return all government funding.

You guys keep directly saying the kids are in danger. I reckon they are in more (or at least equal) danger from the drive back and forth from school.

Meh, kinda strange those private school experts disagree with Trump and lackeys. DeVos is probably figuring out a way to target defunding public schools some more to divert anyways, and funnel it to private schools, some more, cuz that's 'Murica

I'm in favor of opening schools if it is safe. Other Presidents pressure companies as well for good reasons. Since Trump wants all schools fully open in person it must be safe, right??

Hole closed

He demands that schools reopen - in August
He demands that states reopen - NOW

He wants to postpone the election - in November, because voting in person is too dangerous.

While I have no doubt there's shenanigans going on with PPP loans, that graphic is - at least superficially - basically a population density map of the US.

While I do enjoy Porters grilling of witnesses, I don't know what her intent is with this tweet without seeing the source article. If the article itself shows private education companies receiving the loans and the graphic automatically becomes the image when linking then fine.
If she intended just to show the graphic thats a shitty habit to take up.
can't see past paywall
