Thank you all for your encouragement and support. I was super nervous but came prepared with a well written and fact based speech. Some people who were for masks spoke at the podium while wearing a masks and you could not hear them. None of the board members wore masks. The board skirted around the mask issue completely! They discussed the county’s COVID protocols which does not include mandating masks. It was super liberating to take a stand!

THIS! We have a mild-mannered friend who went full lion and not only spoke out, but called around and got other parents with him. He read everything and knew the bylaws better than the members, and with his posse's support, got on the board.
He reports that it's given courage to other board members to be firm on their no-mandates, no-crt stances, because he comes in with the receipts and politely bludgeons them with facts.
I still say homeschool, but this a good start for positive activism.
