Dear John,
Just one week after a Georgia school district opened without social distancing protocols and mask requirements in place, over 800 of its students and staff have been told to quarantine as coronavirus outbreaks popped up almost immediately.
It’s no wonder cases are spiking in reopened schools across the country.
Repeatedly pressed by journalists during TV appearances, Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos can’t come up with a single mechanism for reopening safely.
And she can't even be bothered to show up for work in Washington, D.C. as the school year begins. Instead, she's holed up in her massive waterfront estate in Michigan as she threatens to withhold federal funds from public schools that don't reopen for in-person instruction.
Our latest video breaks down how Betsy DeVos is using the pandemic to further her ploy to privatize education. [[link removed]]

One might think an education secretary would be studying what kind of safety precautions would work best, and seeking emergency funding for those safeguards.
Not DeVos. Just like her boss in the Oval Office, she’s been hard at work shafting working families to advance her personal agenda.
In the middle of the worst public health crisis in more than a century, she’s jeopardizing the safety of our students, teachers, parents, bus drivers, and custodians, while rerouting desperately needed public school funds towards the private schools she's always championed.
Remember, when you vote against Trump this November — you’re voting against her, too.
It’s a win-win.
Thanks for watching,
Robert Reich
