[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Miyares has filed a motion to dismiss the parents’ lawsuit on the grounds that the parents failed to allege adequate particularized injuries to them resulting from the EO. Um, except their kids potentially getting COVID if other students refuse to wear masks? Exactly how do u prove the covid they caught is because maskless kid in class and not maskless kid on the court/field/sleepover? No further questions your honor. Whelp, personally, my kid is disabled, so he is not on sports fields or courts, nor has he ever been invited to a sleepover (and probably could not attend even if he were). So it would definitely be school for him. Is it possible that he could catch Covid from his parents? I assume that they are going out in society (work, Walmart. grocery stores... where they pass by people not wearing masks). Unless the parents are locked down in the house as well, then there is no way to prove that he got it from school.[/quote] I work from home and his father is deceased. I get groceries delivered, because I do not want to increase DS's chances of contracting COVID, in light of his many other unrelated medical challenges. School is a must, going to Whole Foods in person is not.[/quote] Well, if you truly do not go out of your house ever, and your son only goes out of your house to go to school, then I do think you have a case. When the mask mandate is repealed and your son catches Covid, I think you should hire an attorney and sue for damages.[/quote] The ACLU of Virginia is building a class action. If your child does have a disability that makes them vulnerable/puts them at risk, reach out to them. You will not be alone. https://acluva.org/en/get-help/intakes intake@acluva.org https://www.facebook.com/acluofvirginia/ https://twitter.com/ACLUVA/status/1485711505568014346?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1485711505568014346%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Fquery%3Dhttps3A2F2Ftwitter.com2FACLUVA2Fstatus2F1485711505568014346widget%3DTweet [/quote] Oh FFS. This is absurd. Now kids with disabilities have a right to make other kids mask to protect them? I’m not against masking during a surge, but where does this end. If COVID never goes away or doesn’t become endemic for a few more years, does this literally mean my kid (who was in K last year) will be masked in school for YEARS of his childhood because of some small chance another kid gets very ill? Keep in mind even at the peak of things without vaccines, we have yet to have a single child die in Arlington County. But let’s turn this into a freaking civil rights issue. :roll: [/quote] Nice of you to give a sh t about special needs kids. [/quote] I have a special ed child on the spectrum and with language issues. Masks have been a struggle for us and school closures a nightmare, but no one really cared the past 2 years because all society seems to care about anymore is COVID. So I’m sorry if I just don’t feel that all kids need to keep masking as some sort of right for kids scared of getting sick. We are never going to make schools a germ free bubble.[/quote] +1 No one seems to care about MY special needs kid with autism. Masking has been terrible for his language and social development. NoVa people only seem to care about immunocompromised special needs kids. [/quote] Your kid isn’t going to die from wearing a mask. [/quote] So should her kid's development be sacrificed for your kid or should your kid wear a good N95 to protect himself? [/quote]
