Amid the continued fight against the COVID-19 crisis, the issue of whether sending kids back to school this fall has become a huge matter for American families. This escalated further when Donald Trump "threatened" to cut the government fundings on schools if they will not resume "in school" or "on campus" classes.
Earlier this month, the U.S. President took his thoughts to social media. He stated that the public has already seen firsthand that "Virtual Learning has proven to be terrible."
He, then, asserted that schools resume and "be open" come the fall season. Trump ended his post by stating that why would the government give funding to schools if it would not open.
Following his statements, many have argued that it is still too risky for kids to go back to school. Not to mention, several netizens, also, pointed out that there are huge differences between private and public schools, insisting that the First Family's kids all go to private schools.
Amid the whole debacle, many people have raised questions on whether Donald Trump and Melania Trump will send their 14-year-old son, Barron Trump to his school. But, despite all the questions, the First Couple has reportedly remained silent about the matter.
The same is also said to be true for Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. As stated, they have not revealed yet if they will allow their kids to go back to school for an "on campus" learning.
A few days later, counselor to the U.S. President, Kellyanne Conway spoke of the matter in a "gaggle" along the White House driveway, according to Mediaite. As stated, she could not give a clear answer if Donald Trump and Melania Trump will allow Barron Trump to return to school.
She said that it is the POTUS and the First Lady's "personal decision." But, as for what decision this is, she could not reportedly tell.
Conway moved on to discussing the schools' decisions and guidelines, instead. She explained that she does not know what Barron's school has come up with when it comes to the next academic year's classes. In the end, she noted that they will wait for what the schools have to say.
While Barron's schooling is, reportedly, a "personal decision" of Donald Trump and Melania Trump, The Daily Beast said that the case is not the same as the rest of the American families. It is not personal for them, the report added.
