Loudoun County Threatens To Suspend Maskless Students
Principals in one Virginia school district threatened on Monday to suspend students who come to school without masks.
Officials at several Loudoun County schools said that, starting Wednesday, they will suspend students who do not wear masks, ABC 7 reported. It is unclear whether this is a district-wide order or whether the principals are acting independently. The district did not respond to a Washington Free Beacon inquiry.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R.) executive order giving parents the right to decide whether to send their kids to school with masks took effect on Jan. 24. But in a “warning memo” obtained by the Free Beacon, Potomac Falls High School principal Brandon Wolfe says that “masks are not optional for any individual who enters a [Loudoun County Public Schools] campus building.”
Loudoun schools are closed Monday and Tuesday. But several students, including Potomac Falls senior Nicholas Sanchez, were informed last week that they would be suspended starting Feb. 2 if they refuse to wear masks. – READ MORE
