evidence: The claim: Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos said that "only" 0.02% of children are likely to die of coronavirus when they return to school in the fall. Over the weekend, numerous posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram — including from the pages Liberal AF and Liberal by Definition — claimed that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos made the comment that "only" 0.02% of schoolchildren would die when returning to classrooms in the fall. [...] Based on our research, this claim is FALSE. While the education secretary has advocated for schools reopening in the fall, DeVos never said that "only" 0.02% of children are likely to die of COVID-10 if schools reopen, and the statistic itself is unfounded. But DeVos has advocated extensively for schools to reopen in the fall, despite record-setting case numbers in first half of July.
