"Glenn Youngkin, Mask-Mandate Lifter, Sends His Child to School Requiring Masks"





https://www.newsweek.com/glenn-youngkin-mask-mandate-lifter-sends-child-school-requiring-masks-covid-19-1670207


Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin sought to put an end to mask mandates in the state's schools through an executive order within hours of taking office on Saturday.

The Republican effectively gave Virginia parents the right to exempt their children from mask requirements imposed on schools in the state and was met with almost immediate opposition from some school districts.

Despite Youngkin's decision to roll back school mask mandates, one of his own children attends a school out-of-state that imposes its own mask requirements on students.

One of the governor's sons, Thomas, attends the prestigious Georgetown Preparatory School in Bethesda, Maryland and that school has introduced its own mask mandate.

The school issued its COVID-19 policies for the school year 2021/2022 on August 24, 2021 and they are still available on its website.

I'd guess he's pandering to the Fringe in his state, but wants HIS child to be safe.

It's not like Youngkin would dream of having his kid in a Virginia public school.

Daddy could pull him out and send him to a school with no mask mandate and let him take his chances.

ok for their kids and they probably have shots to, but not for the rest of us.

Right wingers consider you stupid and use you for fools. I know - fake news. They've taught you that too.

Ruiner as he became known did a lot of damage, but governor Pritzker has been able to undo a lot of it.

Listen up Virginia, get rid of that guy ....don’t let him ruin you hard fought progress
