I heard Trump on the radio say that if they don’t open up schools then give parents money for private schools or homeschooling. Works for me.

Because Dems need chaos in order to win..watch Tucker’s opening monologue last night and it will explain everything..when people are miserable, they want change..they blame the person who is in power and that would be Trump..chaos equals victory for the commie party, the more the merrier

Yep. And daily cases and deaths will drop to zero.
How many of these new deaths had serious underlying conditions?
How many died from other issues but are classed as a COVID death?
Cooking the books is in overdrive.

While schools are closed, putting teachers on months long paid vacation, teachers are available as full time volunteer campaign workers.

Why do Rats oppose it? Simple. Keep the schools closed and you force millions of women to stay home from work.That lowers household income and raises the unemployment rate.

School educrats and their political unions are shooting themselves in the head

Do you want to create an exodus from the public schools? You’ve already opened the gates - just keep pushing for school closures.

And that goes for SEIU union members and NEA union members and...

The construction people won’t be out there soliciting voters, their industry never got shut down.
