On a far smaller scale, we’ve got a Mask Mandate scrap going over in Billings.
Parents, students and the Teachers’ Union all wanted masks optional. School Board grumbled but said Okay.
Then Saturday morning, someone magically turned up a half dozen high school football players at a practice declared COVID positive and sent out a News Release dumping the entire school district under a mask mandate/Imperial Decree.
This afternoon a couple thousand parents/teachers gathered at a city park to protest.
Haven’t heard anything more from the School District but first day of school is Monday.
I suspect Their Royal Highnesses are going under cover in hopes that this will all blow over.
Meanwhile, according to their Mommy, our twin great-grand daughters will be going to Kindergarten but “NO WAY ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE THOSE....THINGS ON THEIR FACES!” (And indications are she’s not alone by a long shot)
I don’t think I’d care to cross that pretty little Mommy on this......just sayin’.
Good, I’m glad they’re fighting it. If it doesn’t look like they’re going to win, they could always pull the kids out. It really only takes three months to teach kids what they supposedly learn in a year in public school.
Money - that’s really all that the school systems care about anyway.
