Cannot find any media supporting it, but word is ... to rather, at this point, the rumor is, those parents in Vail, AZ voted out the entire school board and installed a whole new one, that promptly did away with the mask mandate... Let us know if you hear anything. How great would this be if true! |

I found this, but it isn’t a media outlet:

The video included in that news story said that vote had "no merit" because the board members are elected in an actual organized election. So presumably, they must be voted out in the next election, or in a recall election..

So presumably, they must be voted out in the next election, or in a recall election.. Local radio station carries this brief story which includes a video of the "new" board meeting. Vail Arizona School Board
There is, also NOT from a mainline media outlet, this more in-depth article which points out, as you say, the old board members' comment that the election of a new board is not valid since board members can only be elected at a regular election. Arizona School Board Flees, Parents Elect New Board, Vote To End Mask Mandate
SO, it happened, the old board was wrong to "flee" instead of talking to parents, but the parents were also wrong to elect a new board... but I applaud the parents for being the bulwark and standing for...fighting for what they value. |

 I hate those disposable masks. I wore one a few months ago when I was cleaning out my garage, when I was sweeping. A few hours later after a shower and such, I pulled a piece of cotton out of my nose. Wow, i hate those masks. Personally, I like the cloth ones my wife made. I tied an extra string around the ear elastic so I could pull it down. Masks in general are not good, IMO, but if my customers wear a mask, I pull mine up too. Otherwise, forgetaboutit. |

If all of Congress has been vaccinated, and the vaccines really work, and all this fuss is really about controlling the virus...
Why was everyone at the first 100 days address still masked and sitting 6' apart?

I don't wear a mask outside anymore. But I wear one in my car when I am by myself.  Or when I ride my bike without a helmet. |

One can hardly blame her. I imagine it's for the same reason that she took down all the mirrors in her house.

This is madness. Twice as many kids die in drownings each year than have died with Covid-19.
