Florida schools ordered to reopen next month

https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2020/07/06/florida-education-secretary-issues-executive-order-to-reopen-schools-this-fall/

ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida schools will open this fall amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which shows no signs of slowing, according to a statewide executive order issued Monday.

Florida Department of Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran signed the order Monday, with the stated goal of reopening all brick-and-mortar schools for at least five days a week for all students beginning in August, according to the executive order.

The executive order was signed around 11 a.m. Monday, hours later President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter, “SCHOOLS MUST OPEN IN THE FALL!!!”

Florida has reported more than 206,000 cases of COVID-19 since March and nearly 3,900 have died statewide in the same time period.

Order by Education Secretary is here: http://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/19861/urlt/DOE-2020-EO-06.pdf


DeSantis and his allies are INSANE if they think most parents will put their kids in school, in the current environment. I am sure the Trumpers will.

So much for protecting innocent life of children and adults alike.

Ron DeSantis and his administration will have more blood on their hands when the case and death rates spiral out of control even more.

Hey, I know, let's turn a pandemic into a major crisis that becomes a national catastrophe when then turns into an exponentially growing clusterfuck.

Let's drag more kids into it, the one's in cages who ripped from their parents were not enough.

This is getting down and very dirty.

Essentially telling parents that they either send their kids to schools that aren't prepared to handle the required distancing, etc.; or to home-school them.

Parents who have been paying local taxes to fund public schools. Parents who can't really stay home to teach their children (mortgages, rent, etc.)

It's amazing how these traitorous cretins can use a world-wide emergency to further their own monetary and pseudo-religious goals.
