I watched her complete comments...


She spent the first 2 minutes or so rehashing her last appearance before the board- where school officials turned off her mic after she went way over her 3 minute time limit.

Then she launched into last night's tirade against masks. Unfortunately for her, she had already used up most of her time whining about the previous meeting. When she was timed out, she offered her threats before waltzing out the door.

I was watching my local Roanoke County School Board meeting the other day. Most of the speakers were respectful whether they were pro-mask mandate or against. However, several anti-maskers were unhinged. One @50 year-old guy began screaming at the board and hurled insults at the pro-mask speakers and finished his comments with a robust, "Let's Go Brandon."

One lady had allowed her 15 year-old immune-compromised daughter to stay in the car because the teen was anxious about being in a confined space around mask-less, coughing people. While she was playing games in her car, someone or some people came up to the car (which had Biden/Harris stickers on it) and spit on the driver's side window beside the teen. She was frightened and fled into the school board building lobby.

I've been attending school board meetings for over 40 years, and I have seen groups gather in opposition to this policy or that. However, I've never seen people behave so poorly and disrespectfully. There is no excuse for it.
