Trump rips CDC, threatens school funding

President Trump on Wednesday threatened to cut off federal funding for schools if they do not resume in-person learning this fall and criticized a top government health agency for being too tough with its guidelines to aid that process.

"The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!" Trump tweeted.

In a separate tweet, Trump said he disagreed with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) "on their very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools. While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things. I will be meeting with them!!!"'

So Trump is threatening to eliminate funds to schools that do not open. Why do schools need money if they are closed? Duh.

As a parent who wants my kid to go back to school since I PAY for it, I'm in complete support of this premise. If some teachers and students are so scared to go back, those teachers can be the online teachers for the students whose parents are scared to let them go back. Problem solved. It's not that complicated.
