Apparently, Donald Trump would sacrifice Children if he thought it would help his Reelection

The Chief Executive Demagogue would like the states to reopen schools.

This despite the fact that there has been a rash of cases with children getting Kawasaki disease in 15 states. Some scientists feel that this may be linked to the Coronavirus Pandemic.

This despite the fact that Dr. Anthony Fauci has urged caution before making any decisions on reopening schools. Even the CDC Director, Robert Redfield, said testing and contract tracing should be more pronounced so local and state leaders could make informed decisions about reopening.

This despite the fact that none of the 50 states have met the general CDC guidelines for reopening. That includes no widespread testing or contact tracing.

The possibility of making widespread hotspots in school districts with students, teachers, staff being exposed to the Coronavirus, and spreading it throughout the local neighborhood is a risk no one should take.

Schools should reopen only when:

• There are a firm testing and tracking system in place.
• School districts have adopted proper social distance, health, and safety measures that are customized to the needs of a specific school and all of the attending stakeholders.
• There is a greater understanding of whether or not the outbreak of Kawasaki Disease is a profound threat to children should they return to school en masse.

Educators and School Boards should listen to the experts. Listen to Fauci. Listen to Redfield.

Do not listen to the false prophets of science denial and wishful thinking.

Apparently, Donald Trump would sacrifice children if he thought it would help him win reelection.

Shun him and anyone else who would put a child in needless peril.

Only open schools again when it is safe to do so. Reopening may vary from community to community, state to state, region to region but safety, not politics should be the only criteria on determining when it is appropriate to do so.

While it is totally understandable to be concerned about the amount of learning time children may lose, educators can adjust school calendars and days over the needed time necessary (perhaps the next couple of years) to make up for that loss.

Learning time can not be made up if the child dies.
