with the school year quickly approaching and President Trump pushing hard for schools to reopen lots of parents have strong feelings one way or the other about the matter. Let’s check out some of the tweets popping up over this one.

This is what the CDC graph of ‘new cases per day’ will look like next week, now that hospitals have been ordered to send data directly to the White House instead of to the CDC. #NotMyChild pic.twitter.com/OQ0uZy0Fyg

It’ll probably look worse knowing the White house…

Extremely valid point…

#NotMyChild Please, people, let’s use this trending hashtag to pressure Congress to provide internet access to EVERY child. It’s criminal for children to be denied education because their parents can’t afford rent, insurance AND internet access. #LivingWages #EducationForAll

In some areas, like where I live, there just isn’t internet available regardless of if you can afford it or not, best you can get for speeds where I live is around 1.5 Mbps…it’s an issue in this country not many realize exists.

Some people want to increase the risk of their child incubating bacteria and increase their risk of infection by being anti-science and advocating for cloth masks which turn your child’s face into a bacteria infested petri dish.

Misinformation is more dangerous than no information.

MUST OPEN #SCHOOLS.

The words risk and children should never be in the same sentence, our children are much more important than lining the pockets of the 1%. It’s not just about the kids either, it’s about who those children might bring a sickness home to.

You got it. I’m not a mother but I have nephews and nieces. Little ones. This has really pissed me off. #NotMyChild

Even people who are not parents should want to protect our children, they’re the future of this planet not us.

The wrong people may just be making decisions about what is best for YOUR child.

What are your thoughts? Will you be sending your kid back to school if it’s open?

#WeReopenSchoolsWhen Is Trending On Twitter and This Is What People Have To Say About It

July 13, 2020 irishcahbomb Leave a comment

With the new school year quickly approaching and the pandemic still very serious, maybe worse than ever, people are torn over whether or not kids should go back to school in the Fall. It’s a tough subject because no one wants their kids at risk for getting sick and at the same time we all realize how important the learning is for them and the socializing that comes along with it. Such a divisive subject always makes for interesting and sometimes thought provoking tweets…here’s some of the better ones I found.

When we mask up and listen to the experts!! We must come together! #IStandWithFauci #WeReopenSchoolsWhen https://t.co/wyRfbkDvbU

There certainly needs to be rigid guidelines but is that enough?

#WeReopenSchoolsWhen there’s not a pandemic??? people aren’t dying??

Some people aren’t willing to risk it at all and that’s understandable.

Let’s be real: #WeReopenSchoolsWhen we’re ready to start funding them right. And being a teacher is the dignified profession it used to be again. pic.twitter.com/QSLwryhFKf

It’s not just about the children either, we need to think about the teachers as well.

#WeReopenSchoolsWhen it’s safe to… how about that?! #trumptized https://t.co/6QLL10NKbN

Yea doesn’t seem like a great idea to reopen now…but you’ll get different statistics depending on what media you get it from.

How about #WeReopenSchoolsWhen WE KNOW WHAT KIND OF LONG-TERM DAMAGE COVID DOES **AND** WE CAN STOP ITS SPREAD?@AsaHutchinson @ArkansasEd https://t.co/TG1yT8Ov1y
— Dr. Lisa Corrigan (@DrLisaCorrigan) July 13, 2020

The unknown long term effects could be worse than we realize…

#WeReopenSchoolsWhen this is all over. Too much emphasis on socializing. I didnt learn anything in school that I can’t learn from youtube.
— Citizen1900 (@citizenn1900) July 13, 2020

I agree but the problem is not every child in this country has access to internet

#WeReopenSchoolsWhen ……. Just home school your kids! My family has not really been that highly impacted by Covid because 1) Planned ahead for it in Jan, 2) I was already working from home to begin with 3) I was already home schooling my kids
— 大好きです (@SyrianSoaper) July 13, 2020

Sadly this is not a viable option for all families…

#WeReopenSchoolsWhen
It’s safe for all students and families and teachers. My school is opening for 5 days a week in person.

Some schools have already decided they’ll be opening…

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Supports Reopening Schools

July 12, 2020 irishcahbomb Leave a comment

While making the rounds on morning news shows Education Secretary Betsy DeVos made it pretty clear through multiple statements that she will be pushing for schools to reopen this school year. she has stated that getting back to learning is imperative and that we need to ensure students have a year or more of in class learning.

As with pretty much anything online these days people seem divided over schools reopening and they had plenty to say about it on Twitter, So as I usually do, let’s go over some of the more meaningful, thoughtful and funniest tweets regarding schools reopening.

“We need to ensure students have a full year plus of learning,” said @BetsyDeVosED on @FoxNewsSunday. “They’ve fallen behind this spring. We need to ensure they’re back in a classroom situation wherever possible and whenever possible…fully learning.” https://t.co/igg2H4ad3Q
— ED Press Secretary (@EDPressSec) July 12, 2020

As you can see she seems pretty dead set on opening schools back up.

Trump is demanding schools reopen & threatening to withhold funding over it; but what if there’s an outbreak?

“Schools should have plans,” says Edu Sec. Betsy DeVos, repeating declining to say how they should respond to an outbreak.

She also cited “private sector examples.”
— Heidi Przybyla (@HeidiNBC) July 12, 2020

Obviously this is more about politics than it is about our children.

“There’s going to be the exception to the rule, but the rule should be that kids go back to school this fall. And where there are little flare-ups or hot spots, that can be dealt with on a school-by-school or case-by-case basis,” @BetsyDeVosED on @CNNSotu https://t.co/hCamtLEz9K
— ED Press Secretary (@EDPressSec) July 12, 2020

“Little flare ups” sounds so harmless right?

Should teachers who are at risk because of their age or have an underlying illness go back into the classroom if they don’t feel comfortable? “That’s something for them to work out with their local district,” Education Secretary Betsy DeVos tells @DanaBashCNN.
— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) July 12, 2020

Very fair question.

Betsy DeVos to @DanaBashCNN on @CNNSotu. “There’s nothing in the data that would suggest that kids being back in school is dangerous to them.” DeVos downplays possibility kids can pass virus along to others. DeVos also won’t say if schools should listen to CDC guidelines
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) July 12, 2020

Still need to think about the people the kids go home to after school…

President Trump and his Administration are messing with the health of our children as they seek to rush schools to reopen. #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/fk6jd9rWgj
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) July 12, 2020

Nancy Pelosi was having none of it…

Betsy Devos called the CDC’s guidelines for reopening schools “common sense” in a break from Trump, who previously said the rules are too burdensome. They agree, though, that children should return to class in the fall https://t.co/jxsEfcULb9
— POLITICO (@politico) July 12, 2020

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens with all of this.

Just because I post something doesn’t mean I agree with it.

Leave a comment with your thoughts on schools opening back up.
