Nobody going to protect your family but you this time...The government is too busy with the health of the economy

[thechariotcard]

When are you going to tell us about the “LAMBDA” variant, now in South America and not susceptible to the vaccines?

[marcosgoldenvoice]

The cows are already out of the barn and the idiots are still debating whether or not to close the barn door! Y'all are quick, ain't ya?! Ha! 😤

[dillonwood]

They shouldn’t be reopening schools due to the delta variant in the ducking world but I hope all those people fully vaccinated

[anav-dn]

Playing with children lives it’s evil 🥺😢

[truthkilla]

This is a great reason to keep our kids from going to government schooling

[julyjet]

Summer is august. Schools are not supposed to be in summer

[jamesmaynard]

Pull your kids out and see what they do when we all go back to teaching our own

I live in Canada is the covid not overwhelming so many places in USA? If it's so bad why would they open schools?

[turdferguson]

Between dragging their feet to go back to work, and their embrace of the hateful CRT, Americans will never look at teachers with the same respect that they used to.

If I were a kid I would slip my mask down every chance I got. This is stupid. They need to keep kids out of school and let them relax FFS! It's not like our education works anyway. If it did we wouldn't be having this discussion.

[ktruly]

U think kids really fin stay 6 feet apart 🤦🏽‍♂️

[bessieknox]

4:00 minutes. We put millions of dollars into this what about our kids education why don't you put millions of dollars into that!

The good news is that children are very good at keeping masks on and never taking them off or wearing them in a sloppy manner. And what is more the younger the kids are the better they are at keeping the masks on. For example kindergartners would never remove their masks without permission and an added bonus is that children are very sanitation minded and never do gross or unsanitary things. Keeping them masks on the children will be EASY as will SOCIAL DISTANCING. Children never want physical contact with each other and its easy to tell them not to play with or hug each other.

Has she read the recent research about masks and Delta? Obviously not. I just ordered N95 masks.

This never ends! That’s why we’re non compliant! Tell me when this ends!
