You do realize they revised their original opinion on July 10th? It's not as simple as you and others are characterizing it. https://services.aap.org/en/news-room/news-releases/aap/2020/pediatricians-educators-and-superintendents-urge-a-safe-return-to-school-this-fall/ The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), National Education Association (NEA) and AASA, The School Superintendents Association, join together today in the following statement on the safe return of students, teachers, and staff to schools: “Educators and pediatricians share the goal of children returning safely to school this fall. Our organizations are committed to doing everything we can so that all students have the opportunity to safely resume in-person learning. “We recognize that children learn best when physically present in the classroom. But children get much more than academics at school. They also learn social and emotional skills at school, get healthy meals and exercise, mental health support and other services that cannot be easily replicated online. Schools also play a critical role in addressing racial and social inequity. Our nation’s response to COVID-19 has laid bare inequities and consequences for children that must be addressed. This pandemic is especially hard on families who rely on school lunches, have children with disabilities, or lack access to Internet or health care. “Returning to school is important for the healthy development and well-being of children, but we must pursue re-opening in a way that is safe for all students, teachers and staff. Science should drive decision-making on safely reopening schools. Public health agencies must make recommendations based on evidence, not politics. We should leave it to health experts to tell us when the time is best to open up school buildings, and listen to educators and administrators to shape how we do it. “Local school leaders, public health experts, educators and parents must be at the center of decisions about how and when to reopen schools, taking into account the spread of COVID-19 in their communities and the capacities of school districts to adapt safety protocols to make in-person learning safe and feasible. For instance, schools in areas with high levels of COVID-19 community spread should not be compelled to reopen against the judgment of local experts. A one-size-fits-all approach is not appropriate for return to school decisions. “Reopening schools in a way that maximizes safety, learning, and the well-being of children, teachers, and staff will clearly require substantial new investments in our schools and campuses. We call on Congress and the administration to provide the federal resources needed to ensure that inadequate funding does not stand in the way of safely educating and caring for children in our schools. Withholding funding from schools that do not open in person fulltime would be a misguided approach, putting already financially strapped schools in an impossible position that would threaten the health of students and teachers. “The pandemic has reminded so many what we have long understood: that educators are invaluable in children’s lives and that attending school in person offers children a wide array of health and educational benefits. For our country to truly value children, elected leaders must come together to appropriately support schools in safely returning students to the classroom and reopening schools.”

Right on!

There's a thread on this board about Dr. Fauci helping to create Covid 19. WAKE UP SHEEPLE

Yankees & Phillies postponed tonight

Jeff Pasan (MLB Insider): The players played yesterday after testing positive. The entire Phillies team was exposed. What?! The players played yesterday after testing positive.

they never considered not playing

Yankees & Phillies needs to be cancelled tonight, right? @ Philly

This is satire, right?

Damn @ATL this past weekend

New X Games event? What is the difference between extreme social distancing and social distancing? 6 feet versus 8? Social distancing is social distancing. Like social distancing. But not XTREME SD.

It's Fauci treating Ebola. Loosen the tin foil.

I would counter your theory (Not a fact) with another - a small percentage of the nation can't stand when politics enter the realm of sports and that small percentage of people complain loudest when it happens.

Here's a picture of Fauci creating Covid 19 duh

Doesn't matter what thread gets bumped to the top here. Odds are it's a trash thread.

Were the takes the same in 2016? SMDH https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/photos-bills-players-wear-black-lives-matter-cleats-vs-raiders/article_229ef017-804d-5b63-9537-08f771a9addb.html 2016 Photos: Bills players wear Black Lives Matter cleats vs. Raiders

Players have been wearing decals for years to support various causes, no?

#BillsChan What a joke

RIP https://wsvn.com/news/local/9-year-old-florida-girl-dies-from-coronavirus/ 9-year-old Florida girl dies from coronavirus PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. (WSVN) — A 9-year-old Putnam County girl has died from the coronavirus, according to Florida Department of Health records. The girl’s death was counted July 18. The girl’s case was not travel-related, and she did not come into contact with a known case. It is also unclear if she had pre-existing conditions that made her vulnerable to the disease. The girl is the youngest known fatality from the virus in the state. The girl’s death follows the deaths of two 11-year-old children in Broward and Miami-Dade from the virus. Their deaths were reported earlier this month. The FDOH reported 10,249 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the state to 389,868.

*Some idiots on Twitter made it up Timmy Good catch. it's actually Republican Senator Rick Scott whose grandkids will stay home https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article244442472.html Gov. Ron DeSantis said his children, who are too young to attend school, would be going in person if they were old enough. Sen. Rick Scott said his grandchildren will not attend school in person. And Sen. Marco Rubio did not say if his children would attend classes in person when asked by the Miami Herald, but said he wants to see Miami’s community spread decrease in the coming weeks before students return.

Coming from the dude who had at least 2 user names banned during your "break." Nice! @Winston Zeddemore - when are you coming back from timeout?

Rumor has it DeSantis is keeping his kids home.

Here are the actual quotes. Reporter: A lot of people want to know if she’s going to turn in powerful people. Do you feel like she is going to turn in powerful men? How do you see that working out? Trump: I don’t know, I haven’t really been following it too much. I just wish her well, frankly. Trump responds "I don't know" to the question, then wishes her well, frankly.
