[quote=Anonymous]The mayor finally getting involve in reopening schools, too little too late Justin.

This article by a very pro-Justin Wilson website (they are never impartial, at all) is so disingenuous.  Justin has been super rude and not supportive re schools opening this entire time.  He has bad mouthed (and encouraged his rabid followers to do the same) the Open ACPS movement.  He's claimed there is nothing he can do to open schools.  He's claimed it isn't safe.  He's claimed that the school board and superintendent know best.

And now, with the primary in a few months he's suddenly changed his tune.  GMAFB. He's lied, over and over again.

“We need to get our kids back in school full time,” Wilson told ALXnow. “Money will be no object, facilities will be no object. We will make sure that we get our kids back in school, and that that is what I’ve said from the beginning of this effort.”

He's been saying that from the beginning?  WTAF?  That is a complete 100% lie.

Now the school board last night voted unanimously to override the superintendent and force the schools to use the 3ft CDC guidance and agree to open more. It's like we're living in the twilight zone.  The mayor, city council and school board gave a carte blanche to the superintendent for over a year, while so many families suffered and suffered greatly.  And now that elections are near, now that Justin has some competition, it's politics as usual and they've had a change of heart.

What took so long?  Why now? I can't trust any of these people. Wilson is scum for acting like he is the hero here. I hate what Alexandria has become.[/quote]
