  1. So, rape a student, go to another school. Pull down your mask – suspension……that seems about right.

      Exactly.

  2. The double standards are breathtaking.

    But… but… what happens if it turns out that a disproportionate percentage of minority students end up suspended? That would pose a real conundrum.

      Putin should invade Ukraine tomorrow. Without doubt nobody will be focusing on anything else from the news outlets to the White House to the halls of Congress than this epic battle over Virginia kids in face diapers and the thousands of deaths that will clearly occur if a quarter of the kids aren’t wearing one.

    โ€œHe has ordered the out-of-school suspension of any student intentionally removing or refusing to wear a face covering indoors on school property or transportation.โ€

    vsโ€ฆ

    โ€œโ€ฆ may be used as a secondary infraction code to document refusal despite redirection from staff.โ€

    You understand that the word โ€œmayโ€ means the alternative is open to school officials and is not โ€œorderedโ€ donโ€™t youโ€ฆ?

    Btw, noted that Youngkin now instructs parents and students to comply with school principal instructions when it comes to mask mandatesโ€ฆ clear as day, this guy isโ€ฆ smhโ€ฆ

      You are confused, Eric. Read the source links.

        I am not confused at all. I looked at all your source links including the single slide you posted from the Superintendentโ€™s presentation which includes the word โ€œmayโ€ as I noted. In fact, the only compulsory punishment reference I could find in your links is as follows: โ€œStudents who bring certain weapons or illegal drugs to school must be expelled under Virginia law unless special circumstances are found.โ€. In all other cases, punishment references use the word โ€œmayโ€ as in โ€œis allowed to but does not have to.โ€

            See if you recognize this screenshot from the Braband presentation. It says: โ€œAny student who refuses to wear a face covering while indoors on school property or during FCPS-provided transportation, and who is not otherwise exempt will be precluded access to face-to-face instructional programming until they comply with the requirements of this regulation.โ€ We all swing and miss occasionally. https://www.baconsrebellion.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-24-at-10.11.59-AM.png

            Ummโ€ฆ โ€œprecluded access to face-to-face instructional programmingโ€ is not the same as Suspension. Suspension is punishment that is meted out on a full day basis. This just says the student must don a mask to return to the classroom.

            Nice try.
            “In slide No. 12, headlined, โ€œR2109 Regarding Mask Refusal,โ€ the school district instructed administrators: โ€œContinue to follow existing regulations and practices. Any student who refuses to wear a face covering while indoors on school property or during FCPS-provided transportation, and who is not otherwise exempt will be precluded access to face-to-face instructional programming until they comply with the requirements of this regulation.โ€

            Regarding โ€œIntentional Removal / Refusal to Wear Face Covering,โ€ he said: โ€œIntentional removal of or refusal to wear a face covering during the times face coverings are required by all students will be treated as a violation of the Regulation 2613 (Student Dress Code). This includes indoors on school property and transportation.

            This will result in an โ€œSRR Violation of BSO7 (Dress Code),โ€ and noted: โ€œBSO3 (Refusal to comply with staff requestsโ€ฆ) may be used as a secondary infraction code to document refusal despite redirection from staff.โ€ The point has a big โ€œNEW!โ€ graphic beside it.

            The โ€œResponseโ€ will be swift with a โ€œ1 day OSS,โ€ which means โ€œOut of School Suspensionโ€ for students who donโ€™t wear masks.”

            The briefing says: โ€œ1 day OSS for an infraction using the new SUS-M suspension code (this process will enable staff to monitor data regarding this unique situation and gives students the ability to return the next day to comply with the regulation).โ€ โ€œSUSPโ€ is the typical code for a suspension.

            You know rather than simply relying on a single slide from a Zoom presentation, you can go to the actual policy that clearly outlines the consequences of violating the mask mandate (in the dress code):

            โ€œStudents who are not compliant with the foregoing may be subject to counseling, loss of privileges, removal from class or activities, or disciplinary action.โ€

            Plenty of alternatives available to teachers and principals (as it should be)โ€ฆ.

            That is not what Braband on last Friday directed his principals to do. Below is the FCPS instruction. He clarified that โ€œprecluded access to face-to-face instructional programmingโ€ means out of school suspension. Give it up.

            See FCPS Regulation 2109.2 Title: Face Coverings to Mitigate the Spread of Infectious Disease, last Revised August 20, 2021:

            REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS

            A. All students who are two years of age and older and who participate in face-to-face instruction must wear a face covering while indoors on school property unless exempt as set forth in Section VIII.

            B. Any student participating in distance learning that must visit an FCPS facility for any reason will be required to wear a face covering while indoors on school property unless exempt as set forth in Section VIII.

            C. All students will receive instruction in the use of face coverings.

            D. Any student who refuses to wear a face covering while indoors on school property or during FCPS-provided transportation and who is not otherwise exempt will be precluded access to face-to-face instructional programming until they comply with the requirements of this regulation. Students who refuse to attend school due to a refusal to wear a face covering, and who are not otherwise exempt from the requirements of this regulation, will receive an unexcused absence for the day. Intentional removal of or refusal to wear a face covering during the times face coverings are required by all students will be treated as a violation of the Regulation 2613.

            An “unexcused absence” is certainly not the same as a suspension. I think all my kids can attest to that… Regulation 2613 is what I quoted above.

    Youngkin should direct the VDOE to accurately track each and every one of those suspensions. I would like to know that number. Right now the way suspensions are coded for VDOE use the number of mask suspensions could easily be buried under defiance or something else.

    I’ve put that and one other item in an email to the School Board. Passing around to folks what to do if their kids are treated any differently.

    “Power corrupts absolute. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Remember all these people went to college they are smart. They even have little letters after their names. Which in the real world means nothing.
