We have been fighting and protesting mandates since school started. Local press is killing our group with lies and smears from the mask-up fear freaks. We have been reaching out to them after each article and being professional with our rebuttle. We are promoting all sorts of community clean up, blood drives and other programs to get exposure. Still local press covers the 10% who want to torture children. School board brings in doctors who want to vax the children to talk about masks during the meetings. It's a steep battle. The only thing we want is parents choice to mask our kids. This legislation keep the decision to the school board (they will hate this) which I think should be pushed further down to the parents. Maybe 10% wear masks around here outside of school. We used to be conservative. Lots of outside money and politics infiltrating area.

And I'm not sure exactly what the repubs had to give up for this but here is the bill I believe:
