If you had any doubt whatsoever about whether or not Arlington Public Schools and other blue districts are refusing to drop their mask mandate in defiance of Governor Glenn Youngkin’s EO because of politics and not science, look no further than this email sent from the Arlington Public Schools Communications Director that was ACCIDENTALLY sent to Chrissy Clark as a reply to her original email asking about the order.
Take a gander:
I emailed @APSVirginia asking what data/studies they used to conclude that masks are effective at keeping transmission rates low. Their communications director accidentally responded to @DailyCaller stating that responding to us “won’t get [the district] anywhere.” pic.twitter.com/yGDpgQJpHv

Frank recommends ignoring The Daily Caller, even though their readership is MASSIVE. And national.
Almost as if these people are playing politics.
OH, that’s because they are.
AND @APSVirginia admits that they’re using the CDC’s guidance/data. @davidzweig has debunked the Arizona study that the CDC relies on to falsely promote that masking children mitigates the transmission of COVID-19. pic.twitter.com/Gl0oFPIDu6

His apologies.
Classy.
Even though they’ve admitted cloth masks don’t work.
Arlington Public Schools reminding everyone WHY YOUNGKIN WON.
How stupid can they be?

How long ya’ got?
People who can't even operate e-mail properly are responsible for educating kids

Scary, ain’t it?
Wait, their comms guy isn’t able to forward an email to only his intended recipients?

Seems that way.
😂😂😂 They seem super competent

EXCELLENT work, Chrissy. Their inability and unwillingness to answer speaks volumes.

Um, oops

Considering their anti-science, authoritarian leanings, Frank's analysis is probably correct.

We don’t talk to people who don’t already agree with us.

And that’s really what it’s about.
