Pence: 'It’s time for us to get our kids back to school'
Echoing the president, Mike Pence pushed for the reopening of America’s schools despite lingering concerns over the spread of coronavirus in the classroom.
“It’s time for us to get our kids back to school,” Pence said during the White House coronavirus task force briefing at the US department of education.
Trump made the same argument during an event on school reopenings yesterday, and this morning, he threatened to withhold funding from schools that do not reopen.
The funding threat struck many as counterintuitive, considering a number of school districts have said they do not have the money to safely reopen.
Weak and cowardly next.
