House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Saturday that forcing schools to reopen this fall is not in the best interest of children because it will put students’ health at risk.

“We don’t want our children taking any risks.  We want them to go to school, we all do, but we want them to do so safely. And in order to do that, we want to have the criteria, the guidance, the requirements of the Centers [for] Disease Control to be very clear,” said Pelosi in an interview with activist Al Sharpton.
