She is insisting that kids go back to school, even though there is no question that this will further the spread of corona. Many people will die from this.

The CDC does not encourage children meeting together in groups. And when pressed on if she has a plan for reopening or for emergency closing, she just says its up to the school. Yet, she isnt leaving it up to the districts to decide if they reopen or not in the first place.

Absolute trash this one is.

Yeah she's a witch. I guess while I don't approve of some of the behaviors of Biden, it's people like her that reminds me I'm voting to keep these fucking lunatics out of the office

Betsy DeVos is the literal worst, however I will point out that the American Academy of Pediatrics themselves recommend reopening K-12 schools because the objective data we've gathered suggests that not only is it safe, it may actually be more safe than children staying home, or at least be less dangerous than the economic and social impact of homeschooling on the workforce.

https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2020/07/08/peds.2020-004879

On the basis of these data, SARS-CoV-2 transmission in schools may be less important in community transmission than initially feared. This would be another manner by which SARS-CoV-2 differs drastically from influenza, for which school-based transmission is well recognized as a significant driver of epidemic disease and forms the basis for most evidence regarding school closures as public health strategy.11,12 Although 2 reports are far from definitive, the researchers provide early reassurance that school-based transmission could be a manageable problem, and school closures may not have to be a foregone conclusion, particularly for elementary schoolaged children who appear to be at the lowest risk of infection. Additional support comes from mathematical models, which find that school closures alone may be insufficient to halt epidemic spread13 and have modest overall impacts compared with broader, community-wide physical distancing measures.14
These data all suggest that children are not significant drivers of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is unclear why documented SARS-CoV-2 transmission from children to other children or adults is so infrequent

Almost 6 months into the pandemic, accumulating evidence and collective experience argue that children, particularly school-aged children, are far less important drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission than adults. Therefore, serious consideration should be paid toward strategies that allow schools to remain open, even during periods of COVID-19 spread. In doing so, we could minimize the potentially profound adverse social, developmental, and health costs that our children will continue to suffer until an effective treatment or vaccine can be developed and distributed or, failing that, until we reach herd immunity.

I thought the clarified their position as being more cautious a few days ago?
https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2020/07/10/pediatrics-association-slams-trump-argument-for-reopening-schools/#43ed4f3d718f

"Schools in areas with high levels of COVID-19 community spread should not be compelled to reopen against the judgment of local experts, the organizations said, arguing a one-size-fits-all approach is not appropriate for the reopening plans."
"Science should drive decision-making on safely reopening schools. Public health agencies must make recommendations based on evidence, not politics, the statement notes. We should leave it to health experts to tell us when the time is best to open up school buildings, and listen to educators and administrators to shape how we do it.

Yes, and admittedly I actually thought their original argument was a bit optimistic. Thanks for the update, I didn't know that they had changed/adjusted their view.

It's always best to go with best evidence, even if it changes your mind.

The evil has to routinely be siphoned out of her brain through those tubes so she doesn't explode.

Going along with this, sick kids/dead kids because of government overreach (forcing them to go during Covid) will scare more parents into going to a private school where the school doesn't have to listen to government influence. Making her more money when she eventually transitions back to that sector.

This was basically a tenured professor talking to a first year student who didn't do the assigned reading for an entire semester.

But that's exactly why Trump appointed her. He wants people who are grossly under qualified so they won't question him.
