RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — With bipartisan support, the Virginia Senate approved an amendment to a bill giving parents the ability to choose whether their children wear masks in schools without providing an excuse and regardless of rules adopted by local school boards.
On Tuesday, Democratic state Sen. Chap Petersen (Fairfax City) introduced a floor amendment to a bill from Republican state Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant that would require school boards to permanently offer in-person instruction.
Sen. Petersen’s floor amendment states any parent with a child enrolled in a public school or any school-based early childhood care program could elect to send their child to the classroom without a mask “notwithstanding any other provision of law or any regulation, rule, or policy implemented by a school board, school division, school official, or other state or local authority.”
The “Science” is changing just in time for the upcoming midterm elections.

The Science is changing !!!
Midterm elections ???
REALLY
So its NOT about THE SCIENCE .
Its about CONTROL .
There is NO “the science.”
What a stupid fallback expression that has become for a lot of very stupid politicians talking down to people even more ignorant than they are who put the stupid politicians in office in the first place.
“Hey, trust me, I’m following THE SCIENCE!”
Anybody who says that is an ignorant A-HOLE.
It is also the ideal language for gubmint whitewashes and cover-ups as can be seen from this series of articles from north of you in Democrat Kathy Hochul’s corrupt third-world ****hole of New York, to wit:

“Poestenkill residents decry ‘slow progress’ in PFOA probe”

“I hope many residents learned tonight the actual scientific process that we have underway here tonight,” said Sean Mahar, chief of staff at the Department of Environmental Conservation.
“That was part of what we wanted to accomplish tonight, to give them an idea of how our experts are approaching this situation.”

Now that bit about “the actual scientific process” was pure political horse****, because I was at that very same meeting and there was absolutely no science of any kind discussed.
Which takes us to this:

“Residents Of Poestenkill Discuss PFOA-Contaminated Drinking Water”
WAMC Northeast Public Radio | By Dave Lucas
Published September 28, 2021 at 12:25 PM EDT
DEC Chief of Staff Sean Mahar: “We appreciated the opportunity to join Poestenkill residents last night to provide an update on our ongoing actions to address PFAS compounds found in the Algonquin Middle School’s water supply.”
“Since those low level detections were found in January, state experts from DEC and DOH have worked with the Rensselaer County Health Department to develop a science based plan of action and implement that on the ground.”
end quotes
Having followed this saga along, I can assure the readers based on the evidence in the files I reviewed that the only “science based plan” was a science based whitewash to protect a large corporate donor to the Democrat gubner.
And here comes some more “science” which isn’t science at all:
“This Rensselaer County community wants answers on PFOA contamination”

Sean Mahar, DEC chief of staff, reiterated that the testing is following where the science leads it.

And that is how you claim the moral high ground in America today, by claiming to be on the side of “THE SCIENCE,” which makes you a real good guy in the minds of the public who are enamoured today with “THE SCIENCE” as were tribes of pygmies enamoured of BIC lighters back when equating somebody with a BIC lighter as a GOD that way somebody in possession of “THE SCIENCE” today is seen a god-like in their perfection, because only those who are pure can actually touch and handle “THE SCIENCE,” it is that precious and sacred, which takes us back for more “THE SCIENCE,” which has become the neon god people made that they now kneel down and pray to:

“Officials no closer to finding source of PFOA contamination in Poestenkill, says councilmember”

“In the year since, our experts are working directly with the county and the town in a coordinated, science-based approach to investigate this issue and take action.”
“We have extensive investigative work underway in this community to evaluate any potential sources of groundwater contamination in the vicinity of the Middle School, and have already preliminarily ruled out several potential sources including the transfer station and Poestenkill landfill.”
– DEC EXECUTIVE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER SEAN MAHAR
end quotes
And there we just saw how “THE SCIENCE” resulted in a perfect whitewash of the indisputable fact that the transfer station is in fact the source of the PFAS in the water in that community.
“THE SCIENCE” says it can’t be, and that is the end of it, period!
“YOU DO NOT QUESTION THE SCIENCE IF YOU ARE A LOYAL AMERICAN CITIZEN!”
Which takes us back for yet another dose of “THE SCIENCE,” to wit:

“One year after PFOA/PFAS found in Poestenkill, town official calls for more to be done”
by J.T. Fetch
Saturday, January 8th 2022
POESTENKILL – It has been one year since elevated levels of potentially dangerous PFAS chemicals were found in drinking water in the Rensselaer County Town of Poestenkill, and local officials are still pushing for the state to do more to find the source.
DEC officials also say they’re continuing to follow the science:
“These again are very low level detections of these emerging contaminants, just above the MCL.”
“The data that we have so far doesn’t lead us to believe that there’s a larger plume or potential source of this contamination, but that’s what we have to figure out right now, and that’s why we’re doing the investigation work exactly the way we are.”
“We’re letting science be our guide,” said Sean Mahar, an Executive Deputy Commissioner with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

That is so much hog**** it isn’t funny – letting “science” be our guide!
Like saying, hey, we’re in the hands of god here, so trust us, when those saying the words are the most untrustworthy of all!
Sever all ties to the federal, state and local governments. They have proven time and time again to be utter failures.
