Absolutely, it is what the Chesapeake parents are doing. And what Tennessee parents successfully did in federal court for a similar mask opt-out order in various Tennessee counties.

There are more of us than people realize. The ones wanting masks are just currently LOUD. Sit back and wait. Let it play out. They think they are fighting a battle but they are doing more to hurt themselves politically than they can ever image. It is a shame mask wearing had become so political but it is. This is an attack on Youngkin. These NOVA people in their bubble don’t realize the majority of the country, even in the solid blue states, are going on with life almost as normal without masks. It’s really odd how people here want to cling to masks and covid mitigation out of fear.

No, we have some sense and a lot of the country does not. Youngkin made it political by trying undermine these school district’s efforts on his first day in office.

I'm thinking no, he cannot do that.

I suspect there will be parent choice by Valentines Day no matter what happens with the EO. If the schools succeed, the legislature will take action, and they may do so in any event.. Look at who passed SB 1303, which will be the same folks that change it to create the "off ramp". https://www.dunnavantdelivers.com/post/press-release-statement-of-senator-dunnavant-on-sb1303?fbclid=IwAR3O9FICEtrmIrpp475K4WoIOYenKoYrAcROjrwR4q39-_ywF1rqLnnwzGc

Good. Better late than never. Mind boggling people think THEY should tell MY kid what to do or wear. LMAO

I mean, schools do have dress codes. Your kid can't show up to school in his/her underwear.

Um, except their kids potentially getting COVID if other students refuse to wear masks?


Exactly how do u prove the covid they caught is because maskless kid in class and not maskless kid on the court/field/sleepover? No further questions your honor.


Whelp, personally, my kid is disabled, so he is not on sports fields or courts, nor has he ever been invited to a sleepover (and probably could not attend even if he were). So it would definitely be school for him.


Is it possible that he could catch Covid from his parents? I assume that they are going out in society (work, Walmart. grocery stores... where they pass by people not wearing masks). Unless the parents are locked down in the house as well, then there is no way to prove that he got it from school.

I work from home and his father is deceased. I get groceries delivered, because I do not want to increase DS's chances of contracting COVID, in light of his many other unrelated medical challenges. School is a must, going to Whole Foods in person is not.

Well, if you truly do not go out of your house ever, and your son only goes out of your house to go to school, then I do think you have a case. When the mask mandate is repealed and your son catches Covid, I think you should hire an attorney and sue for damages.

No way. There aren't enough subs and monitors to be in classrooms if they go to parent choice. Out of approximately 50+ teachers I've spoken to at my school, only 3 have indicated that they are willing to teach with unmasked students in their classrooms.

Ever this school year? What about next school year?

Lord, who knows. We're basically in survival mode and trying to get through the week. No one is thinking about next year unless they're in an active search for jobs outside of teaching, which a lot are. It may be all talk but who knows.
