They are going to lose even more teachers.


If she is vaccinated then she has no reason to be fearful. The vaccines are real.

It's hard for me to believe that we cannot wear masks even if it's just to help each other feel more comfortable with all of this. Are masks that big of a deal? I substitute teach and wear one all day. No big deal. The kids wear them and don't mind at all. I would rather err on the side of caution, wouldn't you? And believe me, teaching is stressful enough on a good day.

Because you are a compassionate person who cares about their community.

Republicans, on the other hand, DGAF about schools or their communities.

Is that CRT?

That seems to be what Republicans object to and what they point out as CRT.

So I imagined covering slavery in AP history under republican governor decades ago.

Youngkin lied Virginia voted in a dictator
He will never leave he told you so
His kid is a spoiled brat that should be in jail
His kids wear masks to school every single day

God help Virginia Polio heading your way thanks so much Trumpets you opened the door to Dictators cancel culture is all yours now.

FCPS has an option. They have a full online school program going for all grades and subjects. This was put into place at the beginning of this school year. Teachers were recruited to be solely online teachers for those who cannot or do not feel comfortable going in person or who don't want to wear a mask. I believe that if someone is uncomfortable with the mask mandate this would be their option. So they still receive a free public education. The parents had the option to decide on this last spring.

He’s going to cause school closures.

Youngkin’s goal is to create as much chaos as possible in public schools to justify expanding charter schools and implementing school vouchers so his cronies can make money off for-profit schools. It has nothing to do with public health, it’s all about $$.

The GOP is using our kids as pawns to turn a quick buck.

+ 1 million They have been trying to destroy the public schools for many years. This is another chance (a big one) to continue with their program.

FCPS put out a statement yesterday saying that they will continue to follow the CDC guidelines and require that masks be worn. They said they are "reviewing" the EO that Youngkin put out in the meantime. Read the EO. There are plenty of holes in it. We shall see. So far I think the EOs are just red meat for his base.

FCPS is trying like heck to avoid a shut down. Youngkin is making a shut down more likely.

Youngkin should push to repeal laws prohibiting use of phones while driving. It’s my right to play Wordle on the Parkway.
