GET THE SCHOOLS OPEN RAT RINO HOGAN.
ReplyDeleteOpen everything
ReplyDeleteThis is because mask are warn outside or be jailed. Obey kneel
ReplyDeleteCan I just tell you that this is the natural course of the virus. I haven't seen one behavior change among the population of Maryland. Stores are still packed. Many people wearing masks although improperly. So why aren't kids in school again?
ReplyDeleteInfect everyone!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe schools are not going to open? You must be kidding. Why would the schools not open? Have we gone nuts?
ReplyDelete8:38 Because the powers that be, want to make you "FEEL" the pinch!!!! Just like with the de-funding of the cops, When most people state de-fund the cops, They want the military crap to stop, like mine resistance tanks they have and other things, but the upper management will, fired or let go or lay off cops to make you "FEEL" the pinch of no cops around, to show you who's "BOSS" but when in reality the uppers could stop buy expensive coffee or stop paying for military gear or stop paying for cops when they break the law things like that can be done without letting cops go but they won't... And we don't need cops, once the bad guys get all shot to hell and back, there are no more bad guys!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep Cuomo's New Yorkers out! New Jersey folks can stay home too.
ReplyDeleteBiggest hoax ever perpetrated on the world
ReplyDeleteIf so then why the Hell are we still under house arrest? Dumb sh^&t.
ReplyDeleteOpen schools and the backup plan would be sending all home. Hellava logistics nightmare AND additional disruption with families working.
ReplyDeleteProb best way ahead - start at home (yes disruption still with fams working), then progress to back to school in Jan.
Plenty of time to prepare whereas nothing really has been done for planning to get the schools open by end of Aug.
Plan over the next 4 months - get the logistics down pat (inside the schools AND busing) - then reopen after the holidays.
Thats called strategic planning with a good back up plan. Something thats lacking here on the eastern shore.
