Open VA schools as normal
 

School need to reopen as normal. Kids need to have consistent schedules with face to face learning.  VA education failed our children this past spring.  They need to learn, they need to play, they need interaction with friends and teachers.  Prisoners were treated better and given freedom which is more than our children are being offered for the fall.  School is the safest place for many children.  Online learning does not allow a child to thrive.  It opens the door to predators.  We’ve seen the consequences of too much screen time and now that’s what our government wants for our kids.  Masks anywhere and anytime should be optional.  Kids need to see their teachers and friends smile.  How many kids are going to go home and wear a clean mask each day?  How sanitary is that? We are Americans and we are free.  We are not stupid, trust us to make good decisions for our families.  There’s been enough nonsense. The government has taken too much control unlawfully and it’s time for that to end!!
