In a surprise to no one, the radical Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax school boards in Virginia are ignoring the state’s governor’s executive order to eliminate masks in their districts. Yesterday the new governor in Virginia signed an executive order eliminating mandatory face masks across the state like most sane states have recently done.
Now WTOP reports:
Virginia’s freshly inaugurated governor, Glenn Youngkin, signed executive orders removing school masking requirements across the state on Saturday afternoon. Since that moment, Arlington and Alexandria school systems have joined Fairfax County Public Schools in reminding families that masking policies remain in place.
Youngkin’s list of day one executive orders put the power to decide if students should wear a mask squarely into the hands of parents across the state.
“A child whose parent has elected that he or she is not subject to a mask mandate should not be required to wear a mask under any policy implemented by a teacher, school, school district, the Department of Education, or any other state authority,” the order said...

Let the District of Columbia annex Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax. Problem solved.
He should have State troopers escort unmasked children into those schools. Notify the conservative media and let the administrators be filmed blocking children from the schoolhouse if they want to make a stand.
arrest them at home
Excellent idea!
Arrest them as being state insurrectionists. And if they emailed each other on this defiance charge them with conspiracy. Goose gander rules.
No...then they will want to be a state.
The left loves destroying the minds and bodies of children.
Why couldn’t the response be in the first line/sentences of the article?
So the radical left continues to use our children as human shields.
How very Palestinian of them!
Great idea x2.
So what was his response.
The stupid site keeps flicking around because of ads and pop ups and is impossible to read.
This
Consider what a Democrat governor would do to them, and then do the same.
(Hint: the Dim governor would be considering reeducation camps).
Escort the kids. Arrest the administrators. A fair exchange.
In with the Future; Out with the Marxist-Lysenkian trash!
It’s really a bad ad site. Bottom line as I read it is he said something cryptic that could meet anything. But he is doing more than most of them.
The GP site has been getting trashed up and hard to follow. So have Fox news articles.
Seriously considering dropping both from my FR items to read.
We need quality and clarity, not defacing BS ads.
Do to them what they do to us..
No knock raids and arrests
This is likely correct. The bill expires on August 1st, 2022.
What Gov. Youngkin can (and should) do is have the Republican-controlled House of Delegates draft a bill that allows parents to opt out of mask mandates and then dare the Democratic controlled State Senate to go on record opposing it.
Many of these Democrat state senators live in districts where the parents are none too happy over these mandates, opposition to which was what got Youngkin elected in the first place.
If the senate bends the knee, Youngkin wins. If they stand firm, they'll have to explain their anti-parent stance to angry voters.
Why not just post the whole mess here?
It's not like Griftway Pundit is on an excerpt list.
