Last week, school parents in Loudoun County started to receive letters
warning that there will be consequences for not continuing to follow the
mandatory masking policies
"Under Virginia law, parents, not the government, have the fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care of their children,” Youngkin’s order read, adding later that “parents should have the ability to decide whether their child should wear masks for the duration of the school day. This approach is consistent with the broad rights of parents.”
“Given under my hand and under the Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia this 15th day of January, 2022.”
Additionally, lawsuits have started to pile up, accusing Youngkin and his administration of putting children with disabilities in danger.
“The ACLU of Virginia, one of several groups representing the parents, said in a statement Tuesday that the children involved have conditions including cancer, cystic fibrosis, moderate-to-severe asthma, Down syndrome, lung conditions and weakened immune systems,” WTOP News reported.
But on the other side of the argument, some children have conditions that are exacerbated by wearing a mask. Take for example Abbie Platt, who has three children in the Loudoun County school system
