No mention of private schools....I don't really know if private schools get any or much government funding...I think recently, Supreme Court ruled that the private schools get access to some government funding...

My point really is his evangelical schools/trumpster supporters schools don't need to open in August????

Double Standards...hypocrisy. ????

Every day it's some kind of " Drunk Daddy is home" scenario...abusive, intimating, threatens America ...I am so fatigued ....

Ya know, that Mary Trump book assessment of his personality dynamics is spot on....

Anyways, the topic is public schools...I have a parent/ mother of one of my home infusion clients who is a substitute teacher in Cincinnati area/ public schools.. she teaches kindergarten to 4th grade... She is not sure she will be picking up much work as her son is opportunistic to infections...he is my client for an autoimmune disease therapy. We are in open discussion, processing what she will do...which depends on what the school system is planning too...this still is undetermined...She has excellent technique for covid-19 protocols but...staying in an enclosed environment where little ones won't be keeping on a mask..Last week, we talked about seeing if they could ask for a bathroom monitor...to oversee hand washing, use of hand sanitizer...I tend to sense that bathrooms are a hidden culprit of covid-19...like, why are bars so infectious? Drinking lowers ones concentration skills, thus poor practice of covid-19 precautions in the bathroom...Just one thought of many... Also...I am suspect of ventilation systems..not sure what aspect but I believe in closed quarters, this is a source of spreading covid-19.

Well...just sharing...

It's all about trumps political health , not our children's. Just like he knew Putin put bounties on our service members , and did nothing, except do more to help Putin . He's not on our side, he's on put ins side.
