[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup and Miranda's group, APE, stood out glaringly from all the other Arlington groups when they did not oppose the state ban on masking, which was overwhelmingly driven by conservatives.

That is just a dealbreaker for me. I don't trust her at all to stand up to the crazies at the state level or to make good decisions for kids and teachers. Because she did not do it then.[/quote]

I know you are desperately trying to make some point but the only point you keep reinforcing is that you and the majority of Arlington view masks and masking as purely political symbols and they have nothing to do with health and welfare and virus spread.

So what happens the next time? If a Democrat is the president and he says no masks but from a healthy perspective a doctor tells you to wear one - then what? You forgo health and welfare so that you can prove which political party you belong to?

You don’t really know any better than I do the true actual benefits of masking - and neither do scientists. Each side of the debate can find studies to support or refute. And if you believe in science then you have to accept that masking may or may not make a difference. It doesn’t mean that you still can’t or shouldn’t do it and I believe a lot of people did it because like me they felt more comfortable and it gives a sense of security to the person and makes it feel like they have a tiny bit of perceived control over something that is uncontrollable. All of that is ok. But is truly irrelevant to me as to whether someone should be elected to a school board. Because masks or no masks don’t make smaller class sizes and don’t make better teacher pay.
