President Trump Announces He Disagrees with CDC’s Unrealistic, Expensive and Overly Intrusive Guidelines for Opening Schools

The CDC released guidelines in May on their recommendations for the manner in which schools should be run in the future.  Despite children being 7 times more likely to die from the flu than the China coronavirus, the CDC thinks they are in the position to invade the classroom with their intrusive proposals.

In May the far-left Washington Post reported on the CDC’s guidelines for opening schools:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week laid out its detailed, delayed road map for reopening schools, child-care facilities, restaurants and mass transit, weeks after covid-weary states began opening on their own terms.

The CDC cautioned that some institutions should stay closed for now and said reopening should be guided by coronavirus transmission rates.

For schools, the CDC recommended a raft of social distancing policies: desks at least six feet apart and facing the same direction, lunch in classrooms, staggered arrival times, cloth masks for staff and daily temperature screenings for everyone.

It advised that buses leave every other row empty, bars add sneeze guards and child-care centers limit sharing of art supplies.

President Trump rightly disagrees with these intrusive and expensive guidelines:

I disagree with @CDCgov 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!!!

The socialists in the Deep State government have got to go.  President Trump is right to address the crazy rules coming from the CDC.
