Idaho school board meeting considering mask mandate shut down by angry mob

https://cdapress.com/news/2021/sep/24/cda-school-board-meeting-disrupted-then-canceled/

A scheduled meeting at 1 p.m. today in which the Coeur d'Alene School Board was to consider a temporary mask mandate was called off at the last minute.

According to district officials and Press staff on the scene, an angry mob was shouting at police and banging on doors at the district Midtown center.

The mob, estimated at up to 200 people, then reportedly moved to the district's administrative center on Northwest Boulevard. As of 1:45 p.m., the district office was placed on lockdown for safety precautions.

I am about half-expecting gunfire at some point. So is my boss.

Time to close the schools and let these idiots’ kids do online education. So shameful - I’m embarrassed to live in this “resort community.”
