[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn’t they just wait a few weeks? They could have announced that in mid-Feb when cases are expected to be lower that masks would become optional. Instead, they took the most divisive position possible and there will be significant issues at school now. 2 classes of students and it will cause problems. Such an ill-thought out plan. [/quote]

I think the Governor’s order precluded that option.   They’d have to have defied the order and prepare for a legal fight.  I’m saddened that it came to this, but I understand why they made the choice they did.  [/quote]

The law is very much on the schools’ side, as this is a clear case of government overreach, particularly where it comes to private and independent schools.  We all know there are lots of lawyers around here and nobody has yet to point to any legal authority for the order.  The state can’t ban private schools from requiring masks.[/quote]

Correct. Everyone should understand very clearly that the diocese made this decision. There is no legal precedent that would require they to follow Youngkin’s order.  I have no idea why they did this now. It only will cause more division. They could have easily waited for Omicron cases to subside, which will likely be in the next few weeks. [/quote]
