Passing them money (though his voucher plan) and he'll get kickbacks from them.

The parents have kids with disabilities who are too much at risk to attend in-person if there are no mask mandates.

I hope they win BIG.

Using every legal tool available to stop Deathsantis from claiming any more victims from his homicidal depraved indifference. They and people like them deserve maximal praise for their courageous actions. They also need gofundme pages or to collect donations for a legal fund so sane people can support them and help them save lives.

Once again, DeSadist shows off GQP selfishness and terrible thinking by "leaving it up to the parents" whether or not they want their kids to wear a mask. In other words, the parent only has to care about their own. A lousy parent may not even know if their child has contracted COVID before sending them off to school without a mask to infect everybody else.

Teachers and school administrators, on the other hand, have to look out for everybody in the school including children of both responsible and irresponsible parents when deciding what the rules will be. Big difference.

I would immediately move to a blue state, and keep my kids at home.

When I first started paying attention to the WHO & CDC in late December 2019, early January 2020, I had enough courses in Microbiology and Virology to say: HOLY SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very few were watching/listening to the news being reported from China at that point.

The Delta Mutation is now upon us, and many are even MORE frightened about the LAMPDA Mutation that is coming right on it's heels.....

We have a friend whose 15 Year Old didn't die, but her major organs have been severely damaged for the rest of her life......Heart, Lungs, Liver, Kidneys.

This virus and it's Mutations are truly a conflagration. There should be an emergency proclamation that ALL kids over 5 receive the vaccinations. The benefit far outweighs the risk at this point. At worse, every last school should mandate N-95 masks for anyone in a school anywhere across the nation.........

Biden's lasting legacy, as well as the Democrat's, should be that they pulled all stops in an attempt to minimize the virus.

That’s the worst one yet, from what I’ve read.

For willingly causing the death of so many people. They know how lethal the virus is, if it doesn't kill you it stays with you for the rest of your life, they have ignored the science, the surge in COVID cases is deliberate, I am convinced they are doing it not only to cater to their base but to try to damage Biden's presidency, to them the infected and the dead are nothing but collateral damage.
