[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is America where money and freedom reign. Schools could open safely if  1) the government shut down any other large gatherings in any location  2) the government propped up those families and businesses that are suffering financially. That won’t happen because the almighty dollar and people’s rights come first. [/quote]

That sounds awfully like you want to use school closures as a negotiating tool for the social policies you'd like to see.[/quote]

What? Shutting down large gatherings is not a social policy ANYONE wants to see. It is solely a public health emergency measure. Propping up suffering families is something I'd like to see a little more as far as general safety nets, but the need for help (and help to businesses) is far beyond what would be normally necessary or reasonable, as well.

The government propping up "families and businesses that are suffering financially" absolutely sounds like a social policy. I'd be happy to support that as a policy, but I don't think children's education should be held hostage until and unless that passes.
