[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers: If unmasked kids show up in your class next week and you are not comfortable with them being there, send them to the principal's office. First, the EO does not go into effect next week, but the week after. Second, the EO is not valid and there will be lawsuits filed to enjoin it from going into effect soon enough. A federal court in Tennessee found that a similar EO was unconstitutional (this applies to all Virginia school districts). Additionally, here in Virginia, state law provides that what school boards set as the policy trumps the EO (this applies to Virginia school districts where the school board will support continuance of a mask mandate).[/quote]

Good information.  I hope teachers read this and do exactly as you suggest.

Question:  What should kids do (masked kids who don't want to be around unmasked kids), do you think?  I don't want riots in classrooms but my kids are NOT comfortable being in classrooms with unmasked and unvaccinated kids.[/quote]

The fact that we've come to a point where this question is legitimately being asked makes me sick.   As an adult I've been lucky enough to opt out of environments where people choose not to mask.  It isn't as easy for kids in school because they're supposed to be there and if they leave they don't get an education.  I suppose a kid could try to politely ask someone to wear a mask because they have an immune compromised family member, but if anti-mask kids are anything like their parents on this board I don't know that it will make a difference.  Is this really where we are?  People with immune compromised family members of family members under 5 cannot go to school safely?  Anti-maskers, is this your end game?  It sounds like this is where we are. [/quote]
