The Commonwealth of Virginia has fighters now if the first days in office for the newly sworn-in Youngkin Administration are any indication. Governor Youngkin enacted day one Executive Orders that returned much of the power taken by Virginia’s previous executive and given back to the parents of the Commonwealth.
Specifically, Youngkin used his second Day One EO to instruct all schools to remove mask mandates from the policy and procedures at Virginia schools.
“Recent government orders requiring virtually every child in Virginia wear masks virtually every moment they are in school have proven ineffective and impractical,” said Gov. Youngkin. “Permitting parents to make decisions on where and when to wear masks permits the Commonwealth’s parents to make the best decision for the circumstances confronting each child. Parents can assess the risks and benefits facing their child, consult their medical providers, and make the best decision for their children based on the most up-to-date health information available.”
Progressives didn’t appreciate Gov. Youngkin’s evaluation that parents should be allowed to make medical decisions for their children and sued to stop the Day One EO that prevents school mask mandates. The parents claim the EO prevents them from being able to protect their children from Covid adequately because they can’t force other children to wear masks.
Democratic Party of Virginia Chair Susan Swecker: “We applaud Virginia’s parents for standing up to Gov. Youngkin’s illegal executive order that puts our children’s health and safety at risk as COVID-19 surges, and threatens in-person learning across the Commonwealth. As the governor prioritizes defunding schools over following the science, Virginians should be reminded that Democrats opened all 132 school divisions for safe in-person instruction. Gov. Youngkin is putting politics over the well-being of Virginia’s families—it’s dangerous and unacceptable.”
I've asked the Supreme Court of Virginia to dismiss the lawsuit against Governor Youngkin and Executive Order two, which restores authority to parents to make the best decision for their children.

Gov. Youngkin’s new Attorney Gwithoutason Miyares promised to back the Administration and filed a motion to dismiss the case against the Day One EO. AG Miyares’ statement called the anti-mandate EO a move “which restores the authority to parents to make the best decision for their children on current health information.”
“Tonight, we asked the Supreme Court of Virginia to protect the fundamental rights of parents to direct the upbringing, care, and education of their children,” Attorney General Miyares said in a statement. “Governor Youngkin had every power to issue the executive order, and without filing, we again affirm that parents matter.”

Liberals are the ones putting politics ahead of personal freedom and ACTUALLY following the science. It’s a well established fact that masks do not prevent or slow the spread of this biological weapon (Fauci/China virus).
I know that the voters in Virginia understand that. Masking depletes the immune system, thereby increasing the risks of contracting this evil virus.
Agree 💯! All the studies regarding masks for decades came to the conclusion that masks do more harm and don’t protect against a virus. In 2020 they made up some phony studies that say they “might” help.
“Gov. Youngkin’s illegal executive order” – I would think, expressing this opinion, it incumbent upon the Democratic Party of Virginia Chair to defend it. What’s illegal about it? Was it also illegal to impose the mandate? Did the Democratic Party of Virginia Chair support that order but oppose this one?
Seeing as how it has been proven that children who get Covid are in little danger of severe illness, it is obvious this isn’t about preserving a child’s health. It’s about a bunch of adults that are worried their kids will give it to them. The school system is about indoctrination anyway. If I still had young kids at home, I would have taken them out of school permanently by now.
Shocking to me that people will sue to give the government more control over them. That is the most absurd thing about this.
I think it is because they want to bully people to get their own way and they’re okay with the government doing the bullying for them.
