[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way - teacher here - this is a serious deal breaker for me. I was considering maybe we wouldnt need masks anymore last summer, but not right now when we have more cases than ever before and I have more of a chance of catching it.[/quote]

I feel the opposite way. I don’t see how their poorly worn masks are doing anything and hear how schools have been open without masks throughout the pandemic. I will enforce whatever rules my district, FCCPS sets. I am concerned they want to mask forever and will keep the mask mandate next year too. If that’s the case I will go to any district nearby that doesn’t require them.  [/quote]

I’m in FCCPS and think a lot of people here want to mask forever. Please stay and be a reasonable voice! My kids will keep masking because it makes them feel comfortable and they’re very aware of the social blow-back they’d get if they unmasked.  I’ll leave it up to them to decide if/when they stop wearing masks once it’s no longer mandated.[/quote]

A lot there do want to mask forever. While I would love to be a reasonable voice, I will never speak up because that would not be well received by those making the highest decisions. The mask forever and push on vaccinations is a turn off for many. I am fully vaccinated and boosted but do not like the constant pressure on parents to vaccinate and booster their children. I think it should be a personal decision and find it overreaching and upsetting. I can only say that on an anonymous forum.  I believe in vaccines but think it’s up to parents to decide for their own children and don’t like the constant announcements, emails and tweets. [/quote]

FCCPS has instituted a "vaccine passport"-you cant attend indoor sporting events nor musicals without a vaccine--I believe even the 5-11 kids need the "passport"---will this stay legal under Youngkin?

Totally pro vax here but FCCPS has really created a hostile atmosphere, if you dont subscribe to "Dr" Noonan, DR or ED SCIENCE LOL then you feel like living as a gay person in the most homophobic town back in the 50s.....so at a certain point---can I pay these taxes and support this hostility? Or the bigger question is--do I want to?[/quote]

Not quite you can choose to get vaccinated but it to be gay. And no when you pay taxes you don’t get to select which pet programs your money goes to.[/quote]

Many bi/gay people think the stance of "being gay is not a choice" as very homophobic in the present world--it was necessary in the 90s to move the movement along,, however real equality is choosing who you love or have sex with.[/quote]

Geez, who can keep up with what we are and are not allowed to say. Sleep with whomever you like. Leave me out of it.[/quote]
