Virginia has legislated mask-choice for the parents to decide. I say good for Youngkin. He has kept faith with his electorate as have the new legislators voted in with him. Sucks being those teachers and school boards who fought this tooth and claw.
“This move doesn’t merely enshrine mask-optional schools in the state, robbing leftist ‘resistance’-minded school boards of a core legal argument as they seek to ignore the governor’s Executive Order on this subject. It also establishes that “virtual” learning days (a dreadfully failed experiment) will not count toward state-required instruction days. In-person instruction is mandated. Excellent news. The measure will sail through the GOP-held lower house, and Gov. Glenn Youngkin is poised to sign it into law”
That’s actually a pretty big win.
It is. It’s almost a shock. That’s the unbridled enthusiasm I suffered from a few days ago. Too many good things are happening. It’s a little frightening.
