This is an absolutely false narrative. The reason other countries are able to open their schools is because 1) they’ve reduced the incidence of Covid so dramatically & 2) they’ve instituted safe practices for when they do open. Neither of those are true here.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on school reopenings: "The science should not stand in the way of this.”

Kayleigh McEnany reminds me of one of the spiked kids on Falling Skies speaking on behalf of the Espheni at one of the camps to “re-educate” other kids. Same basic gaslighting, same confident delivery, same *apparent* belief in her own words.

All DeVos is saying is figure out the safe practice and open. If you want to keep closed, that is not "instituting safe practices", that is quiting.

The @PressSec is so phony! I don't know why media even bothers. She's gotta review her little book because she hasn't a clue. This administration is twisting the truth beyond anything we've seen before. Congress under @senatemajldr has done nothing

Completely incorrect. You are simply just saying we haven’t instituted safe practices. That’s a false narrative. All in one breath.

Dear America, we are waking...this is true. Above all things, we must stop trying to live as a reality TV show. We must choose today, right now, to love our children and our family more than we might want to admire a president who only loves money.

We can suit somebody up, pay them a lot of money, still if you look closely enough all they are is bullies and pomp with the intent on keeping you silent. ENOUGH! Stand up to them! VOTE. Even if you think it's against all odds. We have the power and the means. #yesrising

Because they have herd immunity, so does the northeast of the US. Listen to an actual epidemiologist
