Democrat state Senator joins GOP Virginia governor in demanding end to school mask mandates

 Red States:

...

Here’s the situation. The Virginia Senate is currently led by Democrats by a one-vote margin, including an absolute maniac named L. Louise Lucas, who is auditioning to be the Nikki Fried of her state. Further, there is a vague law on the books which denotes that Virginia schools are supposed to follow CDC guidelines as closely as possible. That’s the hold-up on Youngkin’s order going into full effect.

Until this point, it was assumed that because of those political dynamics, the courts would have to decide whether that law effectively neutered Youngkin’s order. But with Peterson saying he’ll join the Republicans to give them the votes needed to get rid of the prior law, that completely screws up the resistance plan being put into motion by these far-left school districts.

The mask mandate for schools is looking like cruel and unusual punishment by the Democrats.  I suspect they are responding to the teachers' union thugs who are making bogus claims that the unmasked kids put them at risk.  But there has been no evidence to support their claim and in schools in states like Texas and Florida that resist the mask mandate madness for school kids, there have been no superspreader events.  The kids are the least vulnerable to the virus so far.
