  1. Not a brain in that entire administration.
    America has been known across the world to have intelligent leaders until now.

    1. She is intentionally putting childrens lives in harm/danger so she can
      make Trump happy and by doing so keep her job? WOW!!!! Can’t get anymore
      unChristian and unAmerican than that.

  2. One child can put a school in danger why can’t kids learn at home and provide everyone with internet access

    1. Once your kid’s teacher gets Covid from a student, don’t expect a high quality substitute. The gym teacher will cover in the calculus class until he tests positive.

    2. NZ here Our government did exactly that for our kids and it worked. We are Covid free now and our kids are back at school,but we had to follow all the guidelines to achieve this.

  3. Betsy Devos’ plan is to privatize schools like they’ve privatized prisons, that’s the only reason she is In education… Don’t be fooled…

    1. @DrCruel brainwashed. It’s about diverting public $ to rich people, not about education. America, inc. corporate slave state.

    2. @J K They do, however, shovel “public” funds into the pockets of their “private” businesses.

    1. Satan groomed all of them. When Trump (the father) came into power he brought them all out of hell. The devil is unleashed. We need
      to pray and pray very hard and sincerely.

    2. @Timothy McGuire look at her other interviews. She’s out of this world.

      My favorite was watching her “answer” questions at the senators committee. She’s a complete p.o.s.. youd think she was a Trump

    3. @Alexander the Great Not this one. She has been out to destroy public education since day dot. (So, of course, tRump put her in charge of education).

  4. the lady devos is the devil. she doesnt care about kids. kids can learn online until its safe

    1. @Chase Witzansky so you would rather make them death bombs for their teachers, staff and parents. Some kids have health issues are you that cold blooded…wow grow a conscience

    2. It’s a great idea if it was that simple, but if schools don’t open people will lose jobs, and if they see that bank account dropping low and have kids to feed, what do you think is going to happen to their mental health and what will they do to put food on the table, I am from Europe and maybe that’s just me, but I would rather live free and in danger (still wear masks and wash hands) than be stuck somewhere with less freedom but safe. Either decision has negatives and positives

  5. “Kids need to go back to school”…..😑 Duh…. But how without them getting sick Betsy!!!??!!

  6. Q: What’s the plan for the fall?
    A: “The children need to go back to school”
    Q: Right, but that’s at odds with the current health crisis in the country, how do you plan to reconcile these two things?
    A: “The children need to go back to school”
    Q: Understood, that would be ideal, but that is unlikely to go well. What’s the plan for when things inevitably go awry?
    A: “The children need to go back to school”
    Q: You already said that. I am asking what the backup plan is. Is there a backup plan?
    A: “The children need to go back to school”
    Q: What about the plague?
    A: “The children need to go back to school”
    Q: Is there anything that would make you think twice about sending the children to school?
    A: “*Puzzled* … … The children need to go back to school”

    Has anyone else noticed that the people close to Trump tend to come up with one-line mantras that they just repeat ad nauseum in different ways regardless of how their ideas are criticized? Can anyone link me to an example of a Trump aid actually engaging in a real two-sided argument using real facts? I would love to see that argument.

    1. Unfortunately, my friend, no one can help you to find one instance of a real fact based argument from this administration.

    2. Money is all the administration cares about. They probably think kids at home prevent people from going to work. Get the kids to school so that the machine can continue along. Screw the fact that kids could die or have a lifetime of illness. Money is all Trump and his chumps care about, and that is pathetic.

    3. @Mari FF2021 I want to see Betsy visiting schools every single day. I want to see camera footage of each visit and hear her interactions with underfunded teachers. I want her to show how social isolation will work. I want to know how many billions she will pump into schools to allow them to cope with the new order..

    4. @Vik Chopra Except no, because lots of people (of all ages, especially essential workers) dying can’t possibly be good for the economy long term. I can only think of one person who stands to gain from a short term economic boom.

  7. “I want to order the schools open but I take no responsibility for the consequences.”
    Thank you C U Next Term!

    1. Exactly what she is saying, she is not daring to say, if this happens, this should be done…vote this woman out…how could you be at this level and not have a clue….

  8. if this was a joke I’d laugh, but it’s just heart breaking how they will risk lives for votes, regardless of age.

  9. Devon: “The plan is deflect, deflect, deflect until Humpty Trumpty is satisfied with my non-answers !!!!

  10. DANA: “What color is the sky?” BETSY: Monkey. DANA: “What color is the grass?” BETSY: Cheese. DANA: “How many fingers does a normal human have?” BETSY: Harpsichord.

    1. @ Eater, exactly, how to avoid answers, they should make her go to every school, in every state for a year to see how things are working out and she should have to stay the whole day….What is wrong with these people….????

  11. Journalist: DEVOS, WHAT’S YOUR PLAN?
    DeVos: I HAVE NO PLAN AND I AM NOT A MEDICAL EXPERT. THEREFORE ALL SCHOOLS MUST REPOPEN

  12. It’s pretty clear by now, that a Republican led federal government, cannot lead the country in a morally sound manner. The decisions that all our elected government officials are making are on the verge of gross negligence.

    1. Once your kid’s teacher gets Covid from a student, don’t expect a high quality substitute. The gym teacher will cover in the calculus class until he tests positive.

  13. Betsy DeVos just convinced me to keep my kids out of school this fall. She is very persuasive.

    1. My 15 years old told me that he does not want to go to school in person but prefer to do online classes instead – not because he does not like school (he is honor roll student) but because he does not want to bring anything to us (parents) from school. He is way more logical than her. Not only him but in general today’s kids are more logical and responsible than these so called leaders.

    2. I’m considering home school now. I don’t have much faith in her and the Trump’s administration on dealing with this crisis.

  14. She Doesn’t Care..Period…She must be removed from her position…she’s saying she’s not going to be liable..or responsible for the children getting sick….

  15. Well, at least we have all the footage of this monster for when kids and teachers start dying by the thousands. I’m a teacher and I’m terrified to go back to school.

    1. I truly hope you will be safe if you choose to return to the classroom. I would be worried for myself, coworkers and for my students if I was in your shoes🙏🏽

    2. Once your kid’s teacher gets Covid from a student, don’t expect a high quality substitute. The gym teacher will cover in the calculus class until he tests positive.

  16. Republicans: Kids should go back to school they need learning!!!!

    Also Republicans: Cut funding from public schools cut teacher pay not giving them money to buy hand sanitizer, hand soap, and disinfectant

    1. That irks my nerves so bad 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
      These teachers have to deal with so much 🤦🏽‍♀️

    2. @Manzo Jose, same thing they do with veterans. They talk about supporting and helping veterans while screwing over veterans.
