Things are bad here in western michigan, where county health departments are mandating mask wearing and our Democratic governor is not standing in the way.

The people standing in the way are parents, who are mobbing school board meetings and threatening violence against school board members who set set mandates in schools.

Infamously, last week, a parent tried to run a school board member who voted for mask mandated off a high-speed freeway.

A couple school board presidents have resigned, saying they didn’t spend years volunteering just to be threatened with actual violence by irrational parents.

All over a piece of cloth that’s barely an inconvenience.
