Fun fact: for these people in the “non-partisan” positions to get on the Democrat sample ballot, they have to get past the gatekeepers in FCDC. FCDC is losing their minds over the mask thing and also recently implemented an ideological purity test for members and pushed some people out they decided weren’t with them enough. McKay knows he has to get on that blue sample ballot, because that’s what drives about 60% of Fairfax voters. The loons in charge of FCDC bring you this junk.
If Fairfax GOP had a chance to be in charge they’d be no better. Our local party orgs are insane. We need people not backed by them, but that’s a pipe dream.
Maybe the answer is to have an independent group that is not affiliated. A parent ballot.
Independent Fairfax

If you don't get his newsletters, you should, just to know what's going on.
I will allow him this one poor choice (letter). He's normally pretty moderate and good for Fairfax, but this position is so out of touch...like FCPS.

Are you really not able to understand the distinction between the CT and VA approaches? FCPS would unmask soon enough -- Omicron cases are in steep decline -- but Virginia made it impossible to reinstate mask mandates when future variants may necessitate it. Parental opt out is not a scientific basis to decide public health measures; it's pure politics.
I applaude McKay for his letter. The loud voices on DCUM to the contrary, most of us in Fairfax are educated enough to understand that the way the General Assembly and Youngkin approached this is pure stupidity.
Fwiw, Fairfax county is lower (new cases) than every county in CT. They are close, but we are lower. They made a decision to stop masking on Feb 28. Youngkin created a lot of drama by trying to stop mask mandates on Jan 15 in the height of a crushing covid wave. But if Youngkin had made masks optional at end of Feb, he would have been seen as moderate. Youngkin created drama, and FCPS added to it by rigidly clinging to CDC standards that are out of date.
I feel like a child of divorced parents who both play games, and the kid is stuck in the middle.
No the drama was created by people like you. Because Republicans 😱
Now you and your dumb lawsuit you praised just look idiotic.

Yes they are. FCPS has done great this year. Just because you read it on Twitter or FB doesn’t make it true.

How so? The incompetence of the local SB's last year resulted in Youngkin. Everything that is happening now can be traced back to last year's SB stupidity.
People should have been able to vote beyond a local situation for one year during a novel pandemic with no national leadership to guide. Supporting people who think parental opt out is a good way to run public health is beyond stupid.
