Northern Virginia School Masking Debate in One Photograph

By James C. Sherlock

In a story  “Polarized debate over masking In Northern Virginia schools” written for WAMU 88.5, American University Radio, Margaret Barthel provided an excellent and well-balanced recounting of that debate.  I recommend it to you.

The picture below that accompanied it was literally worth a thousand words.
