It doesn’t matter that nearly 135,000 Americans have died from covid 19 and that the caseload and death count continues to rise, Donald Trump and his idiot education secretary, Betsy DeVos, insist that schools need to reopen and that teachers and kids must be in the classroom.Trump doesn’t give a rats’ ass about kids being in school. What he cares about is creating the impression that everything is OK and to make it possible for parents to go to work.Why does he care about that?So maybe, just maybe, the economy will do a magic rebound just in time for him to pull out a victory on November 3 and win re-election. That’s his motive, and you can’t tell me it’s not.My colleague, Chris Waldron, is a college professor in South Carolina and he’s got some thoughts about all of this in today’s podcast. He offers some thoughts about the politics of this fiasco, plus his own views as a teacher who’s expected to conduct classes in a classroom. To hell with whether it’s safe or not.Take a listen to Chris. It’s from his blog at not fake news.biz.
