Where did she post that? Definitely not reading the crowd 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂

What group?? 👀

This FB group that started out as citizens concerned about the narrowing of Seminary Road but eventually morphed into a sort of right wing conspiracy theory page. It’s fascinating and terrifying at the same time. The page blames every traffic jam and flood in Alexandria City on Justin Wilson personally and gripes about every little inconvenience. Also lots of racist dog whistling. Many of us just watch in horror from a safe distance. But it’s eye-opening to see how many neighbors in our community think.

The whole Twitter thing is irrelevant. I don't care what account she may have or what she may have tweeted. They sent their kids without masks into a public school with immunocompromised classmates. Apparantly there was an accomodation that would have permitted the kids to wear masks, whatever their medical issue may have been, but this was not what the family initially pursued. Then, when called out about it, her response, among other things, was to complain on facebook that the rec center made her husband pay a fee for use of space in which her kids and husband were unmasked.

This candidate is a hard no for me.

I spoke to Ish at a farmer's market last week and he filled me in on what is actually going on. He is not anti-mask, but his child (who goes to school with my child) and several other children across ACPS have medical conditions that warrant a consideration of an exemption by ACPS. Central Office didn't get back to them until the night before the first day of school and advised them that their child should just sit 6 feet away without a mask. They took it upon themselves that night to schedule a meeting for the next morning before school with central office to figure out a more reasonable accommodation. They and other families are still waiting to hear back from ACPS and that is why LCTA put out the flyer proclaiming that they "presently had no medical exemptions" - because central office still hasn't figured out how to handle families who have medical conditions! As parents, they are also dealing with the effects of no communication or transparency from Hutchings, and that's one of the general problems we all have with ACPS.

Nope. I don't believe this self-serving version of events. You don't have to like everything ACPS is doing these days, but no way I believe that these parents were acting appropriately. I don't believe they have legitimate medical exemptions.

So, what is his reason for not wearing a mask in the rec center then?

The schools are doing everything, including quarantine responses, last minute and it’s total confusion. If any family requires a medical accommodation they should not be shamed for it and it’s up to the school to be clear about their accommodations. The family provided the school with everything the school asked for and then the school dropped the ball.
