Virginia school board member objects to parent showing social media posts violating mask mandates  

A Montgomery County Virginia school board member stormed out of a public meeting after trying to silence a parent fed up with mask mandates because the parent showed Facebook photos of the board member violating mask rules.

The fracas is just the latest public confrontation happening across the country between parents, students and school officials over mandatory mask policies in public schools.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkins recently signed a bill into law that would make wearing a mask in a public school optional.

The state’s seven-day average for Covid-19 infections on Friday was 2,392 cases, down 28 percent from 3,062 on February 14, according to Johns Hopkins University.
