opposite sides of the political spectrum in in agreement on making masks optional in schools. they are not banning them, great, but they are giving the choice to parents to make that decision about their children. that judge in arlington felt a little differently, the judge ruled in favor of seven school districts, arguing the state law passed last year requiring masks outweighs the governor's order. and wrote keeping rules in place established over the school year helps children, families and staff understand how they may be affected by the pandemic. youngkin's office fired back, this is what is best for the kids' health and who can best make the decision, we are going to appeal. last week governor youngkin was at a northern virginia grocery store touting elimination of the grocery tax, his mask choice policy caught up with him.
