An open letter to the LCPS School Board, Part 2: Board letter follow-up
“You have taken on a massive responsibility, and I believe you haven’t fully grasped the weight of that responsibility.
“I have done what I said I would do in my last letter to you. I took my daughter to school without a mask Wednesday. She was turned away citing the board ruled, but we were unable to get an answer as to what support the board used for the rule, or why. She is at home today without being able to attend school because of a rule you put in place, and because you wish to mask her in spite of clear and abundant information indicating and/or proving that masks 1, are not effective, and 2 create physical and psychological harm.
“I do intend to complete the rest of my promise to you, but please know I would rather not.”
An open letter to the LCPS School Board, Part 1: Nov 1 meeting's masks in school's vote
“This is notice that I am not asking your permission to send my child to school without a mask. Those efforts by others, as kind and congenial as they were, were met with total disregard, and are now over. My request wouldn’t be quite as kind. We, those of us who choose, will not be sending our children with masks. And school staff may not require them when they arrive. This is our decision, not yours.” …
“I will point out the hypocrisy in your masking rule. Highlight the falsehoods and politically driven one-sided arguments preceding your vote, and advise you that continuing along this path constitutes a violation of our children’s rights as citizens not to be used as medical research subjects.” …
“You should reconvene for a special session and by the end of this week record a vote to make masks in school optional.”
