    On Wednesday, an intercom announcement at the school from principal Gabe Carmona said any student found criticizing the school on social media could face discipline.

    Lord have mercy...

    OMG it's not like they're Iraq war coffins or something. Well maybe they are. Exactly the same.

    It's offensive to me that he's not masking up because he gets access to tests.

    I'd respect his dumb ass more if he's not masking out of principle AND uncertainty.

    Hope those kids present aren't infected...

    Let's see Trump throw Baron into a public school in DC, riding a school bus and not in a limo.

    Actually since DC schools are closed like those of every other major city due the malignant incompetence of his father this is pretty doable now! No bus required for Zoom pretend school.

    Well I meant when they start up, unless DC isn't having any in person instruction this year like our city.

    trump's forcing children to go to school to catch COVID-19 experiment is going as expected...

    Over 100 people quarantined in Mississippi school district after several test positive for coronavirus
    Six students and one staff member in the 2,700-student district have tested positive for the virus since school began July 27.

    No one's even pretending it's safe. You think they clean the toilet handles etc. after each use? Surfaces are not being cleaned. There's no "bubble" and they're not even pretending there is one.
    We're putting all the responsibility all on the children to do everything right in an unclean environment.

    Notice that face masks only reduce the spread, not stop it. No one's even claiming schools are 100% safe.

    How many times will we hear "Nobody could have predicted something like this" from those too stupid to have predicted something people have been shouting out about already?

    That will be comforting, hate to think you worked so hard to die in school and not get your degree..
