    I feel sorry for Florida residents. Ron DeSantis is trying so hard to earn the admiration and love of his idol, Donald Trump, by being a narcissistic scumbag just like him. He deserves to face criminal charges when his term ends.

    On one hand, I want him to put his money where his idiotic mouth is. On the other, I don’t want his kids or others infected because of his ignorance and selfishness. They don’t deserve to suffer because of him.

    At least Baron's school with a teacher to student ratio of only 6 to 1 doesn't have to worry about funding, whether they open or not.
    Private school attended by Barron Trump to keep Paycheck Protection Program loan
    https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/30/politics/barron-trump-private-school-loans-coronavirus/index.html
    Will Ivanka Trump send HER kids back to school? Will Trump have Barron return?
    https://www.mercurynews.com/will-iv...-back-to-school-will-trump-have-barron-return

    The answers to the questions above aren't very reassuring.



    You know, the truth is, even If Trump's son and grandchildren went to a public school in the fall it wouldn't be in Florida or Texas. You can bet on that.

    If the trump position is right (need to have kids go to schools), why does he have to outright lie about "the Democrats" position?

    Even more important than producing the best possible education for America's kids, the education secretary is responsible for the safety of all school children and teachers. And yet this is what she says...

    Just as a reminder, this horrible incompetent woman was appointed to lead our country's education system by trump and confirmed by a republican-led senate. We have an opportunity to fix this in November.

    Serious question, Are you ok?

    The last couple of days you are saying stuff that you know are false and frankly dumb, you usually troll at a much higher level.

    You are trolling at a Dach or Trader level.

    How can anybody take you serious when you say something like this?

    It's amazing they sent her out to all the sunday shows spouting this nonsense?

    it's amazing that she actually did this considering she does not need the job.

    It must be nice to be the Secretary of Education and make a lot of money by doing absolutely nothing and passing the buck off to everyone else. Betsy DeVos is a disgrace, just like Trump.

    Also, I don’t always agree with Nancy Pelosi, and she does plenty of things worthy of criticism, but she’s spot on here. Kudos to her for this outstanding interview.
