Your weekly bit of judicious wisdom: Go and be like this lady.
That's how it's done, folks!
For a very long time, school officials have been very comfortable completely ignoring the wishes and desires of the parents they're nominally serving. All of that seems to be changing. Good.
On Tuesday, the Montgomery County School Board held its regularly scheduled meeting, but that meeting ended up being far from regular as a discussion about masks mandates turned into a dramatic face-off between the school board chair and a parent...
"It's very concerning that you would take the power of the parents and Ms. [Montgomery County School Board Chairwoman Susan] Kass, I would like to point out real fast. This is the time we get to hear from the students, staff, and from community members," said [parent Alecia] Vaught. "You did not mention parents one bit, and I think that is a big issue for Montgomery County School Board because you guys do not like the parents."
That's when Vaught started showing public Facebook pictures of Kass not wearing a mask with family members in her home. According to Vaught, she feels this is hypocritical of Kass to expect an entire school district to wear masks when she does not do it herself.
However, things quickly escalated, with Kass saying she felt it was inappropriate and out of line to show those photos. She interrupted Vaught, banging her gavel and asking the parent to leave.
The best part: Kass eventually stormed out of the meeting.
What a shame! Hopefully the parents emailed the school board the maskless photos just to make sure they saw every one of them.
