Ugh, eye roll. |
and just to add: no one in NOVA thinks it’s a good move to unmask now (except right-wing nut job Chap Petersen). Read the room, Chap! |
Chap has been busy — he also voted against protections for youth athletes from sexual abuse by coaches because he said it’s hard to find coaches for youth sports. This man has excellent priorities! |
The good news is you’re free to continue to wear a high quality mask, which protects you regardless of what others are doing! |
The expectation is that there won’t be quarantining or disruptions related to wearing masks. |
You are in your little echo chamber. He is a lifelong Democrat. He is listening to his constituents and his own instincts. NOT ALL DEMOCRATS WANT MASK! MANY OF US ARE DONE TOO! |
Where does he stand on the respect transgender athletes ? (not optimistic, given his track record). |
Everyone I know in Nova is done with kids in masks. Maybe you don’t have many friends thus a small sample size. |
Chap is one of 3 moderates remaining in all of northern Virginia. There are 2 Ds and one R Chap Pat Herrity Megan McLaughlin.. Bravo to Chap for his courage and integrity. Many, many of us on the middle, left of center and right support and appreciate these 3 officials. |
Ugghhhhh. Talk about read the room. I want my kid to continue to swim. But if it were quit swim or have a weaker coach vs being abuse, she’d quit. Not even a close question. |
It's a chart, smooth brain. Clearly, the numbers didn't go up due to unmasking as the gloom and doomers all predicted. And if Omicron is subsiding and kids not masking didn't reverse that, what is the argument for keeping the mandate? |
Sure you’re a democrat. ![]() ![]() |
He has kids in FCPS right now. The idea that some of you think he is out of touch with what families want is laughable. |
It is hugely important to understand that omicron spread like wildfire through the schools even though kid were wearing masks and many were vaccinated. So for many of us, me included, the fact that omicron wasn't stopped AT ALL, means that the masks aren't worth doing any more. MY whole family is vaxxed and boosted and we mask with N95s and we got it. Over with it. My kids have paid their dues and I want them to be able to live normally again. |
