On Tuesday, the Vail School District in southern Arizona was scheduled to discuss its mask policy after Gov. Doug Ducey enacted a new executive order that lifted the state’s order to require face masks in schools.
In response to the meeting, more than a hundred parents rallied for the Vail School District to drop the mask mandate.
But just moments before the meeting was scheduled to take place, school officials abruptly decided to cancel the meeting, citing safety concerns over the parents’ protest.
A throng of parents later pushed their way into the board room while refusing to wear masks and demanded to speak with their elected officials.
In response, the Vail board called 911, and Pima County Sheriff Nanos told KGUN 9, a sergeant and four deputies showed up in just over a minute.
The district said the sheriff told the board to adjourn the study session because the crowd was uncontrollable.
But the Sheriff says that’s false, the board made that decision on their own, and crowd control was not an issue.
Emotions ran high as parents confronted law enforcement, demanding to know why the board canceled the meeting. “They [school board] have the audacity to leave when we come here as peaceful parents to talk to them,” one parent passionately asked.
Following the adjournment, the parents, under Robert’s Rules of Order, voted in a new school board. Then, the new members voted to end the mask requirement in Vail Schools. Whether this procedure to install new board members is legally valid remains in contention.
But a Facebook account posted video of the meeting with this summary explaining the parents’ position:
“Vail School Board violates Arizona open meeting law, refuse to hear from the people, and goes home. So, the People hold quorum, call their own meeting to order, elect a new School Board, and immediately vote to CANCEL the mask mandate – along with voting to disallow any medical procedure being forced on the children or employees. This is how you take back power from a tyrannical government.
Great work to the parents of the students in Vail School District.”
“...citing ‘safety concerns’ over the parents’ protest.”
funny. No one cites ‘safety concerns’ when the Antifa and BLM Pukes are burning and looting!
I wonder why? *SNORT*
This is the sort of thing that could catch on.
Hope to see some future follow-up articles as I find it hard to believe this could be possible under state election laws.
Great news.
Applause
INSURRECTION!.....................or something.................
Food thing nobody in the crowd was named Ashli Babbitt.
Not about a virus
It never was.
You want your freedom back?
Take it back..
That was probably good for them. But they will find another victim. It may just take a while.
Amen to that! And God bless them! They are great Americans and awesome examples for their kids!
It’s not patriotic to wear a mask. It’s patriotic to tell the corrupt politicians to ** off.
I hope it does catch on and spreads like mad! That’s the only way we’ll ever take back our lives again.
Well, there’s a hundred new members of the no fly club. The FBI is combing their social media scores for extremist too of course.
If you keep the slaves afraid, they are easier to control.
Oh, yeah.
And to take that a step further, nobody cites safety concerns when biden’s cronies bus thousands of coronavirus infected illegal immigrants all over Texas and other states. I have to wonder if they are only being shipped into republican run states. Yes, biden would do it in a minute.
Nobody cites safety concerns when democrats and blm demand defunding of police departments.
Nobody cites safety concerns when biden shuts down the pipeline that is much safer and environmentally friendly than transporting oil by rail, which results in at least 2 or 3 derailments a year and hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil on the ground from each.
Nobody cites safety concerns when it can be easily proven that “gun free” zones are an open invitation to maniacs with guns, since almost all of the mass shootings over the past 20 years have occurred in gun free zones. No safety concerns there...
Nobody cites safety concerns when we can prove drug cartels are using our open border to bring tons of hard drugs into the country. And now they are using nice roads WE BUILT to help do it.
Nobody cites safety concerns when democrats let thousands of criminals with lengthy rap sheets loose in our cities.
I’m disgustipated...
“Hope to see some future follow-up articles as I find it hard to believe this could be possible under state election laws.”
Seems to me to pretty clear that if an elected body refuses to meet to discuss/vote on an issue on the agenda there must be recourse for the people. Otherwise any elected body could simply not meet if any contentious issue arose.
In any case the point was made and any more whining by the deposed board members would simply highlight the whole issue which was the catalyst. The Communists do not want the fact the people are resisting to be made public.
