‘We’re Taking The Power Out Of Your Hands’: Virginia Mom Confronts School Board Member With Maskless Photo, And She Storms Out

“Senate Bill 739, as you guys probably know, is going to be signed into law very soon and so we’re taking the power out of your hands and putting it back with the parents, the way it should be,” she began.

“And it’s very concerning that you guys would take the power away from the parents,” she continued, going on to single out one member of the board. “The you were saying — introducing the public address comment, you said, ‘This is the time we get to hear from the students, from the staff, and from the community members.’ You didn’t mention parents, not one bit.

That’s how I feel, because you’re taking the choice away from the parents and you’re trying to take it and put it into your hands — for financial reasons? I don’t know.”
