Well, the administration trotted out the nincompoop supposedly in charge of education to let us know how schools will reopen this fall. The results were more or less cringeworthy depending on your position on the ideological spectrum.
Cruella DeVos basically told us the Secretary of Education still has no plans or guidance for school districts struggling with the decision to reopen with in person instruction this fall. The Covid 19 pandemic has been with us since March and the all she could say was there are examples and information "out there" which school officials could tailor to their situations. I believe there are more than 12,000 school districts in the US. De Vos wants 12,000 experiments this fall with in person learning with a pandemic raging through over 30 states.
Aside from the absolute stupidity this position exemplifies, the Secretary then implied the federal government will withhold funds from districts who refuse to turn their campuses into petri dishes. She threatened to send the money to districts or private schools who will sponsor in person schooling. We are being led by deeply stupid people.
