One of Hizzoner’s first moves was to sign an executive order banning schools from enforcing mask mandates.
Yes, those very kids whose families are antimaskers, and thus at increased risk of catching and spreading COVID, are to be permitted to spread their diseases to more sensible classmates, in the interest of personal choice.
Guess what, asshole? I choose to maintain whatever protocols reduce (not eliminate) the spread of COVID. You are removing that choice from ME!!
(disclaimer: my kids are no longer in school - but if they were, I’d be terrified to send them to in-person class as we have several high-risk people in my household).
So dictates the voters of the Commonwealth of Knee-Jerk Stupidity. One of many reasons I refuse to voluntarily set foot in Virginia. You can smell the stupid the moment you cross the Potomac.
If shooting children in the face would result in a Republican getting elected, he/she would immediately pass a law requiring children to be shot in the face.
How is it possible to interact constructively with people who think a virus gives a shit about their opinions and politics? Most republicans are just too far gone to help.
Despite Youngkin’s decision to roll back school mask mandates, one of his own children attends a school out-of-state that imposes its own mask requirements on students. One of the governor’s sons, Thomas, attends the prestigious Georgetown Preparatory School in Bethesda, Maryland and that school has introduced its own mask mandate.
Apparently, a law adopted by the Virginia legislature and signed by the former governor last year requires schools to follow CDC guidance, and the guidance is still for students to mask. Youngkin has no authority to overturn a statutory requirement through his executive orders.
It’s best not to try to apply a knowledge of geography to trying to locate DC area schools. The Potomac School is in McLean, VA. The McLean School is in Potomac, MD.
Yes, but that’s a parental choice. It’s not his fault some parents chose to be too poor to send their children to schools that require masking and vaccination.
Maybe once a year he has the starving peasants gather below his balcony so he and his party guests can try to hit them in the face with slices of cake and pie.
Youngkin got elected by, in part, feigning that he was a relatively moderate conservative Republican, and at some distance from Trump. Upon inauguration, he became the instant bait-and-switch Trumpist governor.
