Dear Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin,

Have you ever been in a classroom when a teacher invites a child over for small group time and the child responds, “my mom said I don’t have to listen to you!”?

Have you ever been in a classroom when a teacher asks a student to put their phone away and they say, “my mom said I could keep it out.”

Or what about when a teacher assigns homework and the student says, “my mom said it was a dumb assignment so I didn’t need to do it.”

I completely understand that parents have different opinions about masks and a zillion other things - but when a governor announces “schools can set policies, but parents can choose not to follow them,” we are setting a very, very dangerous precedent.

For that matter, why does my daughter ever have to follow dress code again? Why does my son have to wear shoes? Heck, why do I need to worry about the attendance policy?

What if a parent tells a kid they can bring a weapon to school for personal protection? Or, like in Michigan, a parent refuses to follow school policy and our children are murdered because of it.

I 100% support parents making the best choices for their students, but that’s why homeschool and private school exist. When we send our kids to their school (or to a restaurant, a public library, or dentist, or…) part of choosing to send them there means we have to follow their rules. That’s something we learn in our citizenship units.

Sincerely,

A mom, educator, and citizen

The rule now is, masks are optional.

The law says that public schools must, to the greatest extent possible, adhere to mitigation efforts provided by the CDC.

The law is ambiguous on the mask point. So for the moment, the governor’s order prevail. Angry counties can challenge it in court.

Oh whatever. Isn't that the same State Senator who started a huge scandal on Saturday about the entire Civil Rights division being fired when it was only 3 personnel? She hates him and that's clear from the start.

Looks like she represents parts of Norfolk and maybe Virginia Beach?

I'm just glad Northam had the foresight to transfer ownership of Richmond's confederate statutes to the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, to limit Youngkin's ability to restore them.

Restore? He can order new statues to be built.

Sure, if he wants any future political career to be dead in the water. It’s one thing to preserve what already exists. It’s a different matter entirely to go out of your way to commission new statues to celebrate the confederacy. He would immediately become the pro-slavery governor.

None of which is going to happen. ^^^ Do you people actually enjoy spinning crazy stories about things that are never going to happen, and then getting outraged about these non-existent scenarios? That's very disturbing.
