Virginia’s new Republican governor Glenn Youngkin is taking the debate over mask mandates in schools to the Washington, D.C.’s suburbs that are home to much of the capital's power elite.

that said parents “may elect for their children not to be subject to any mask mandate.”

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki left little doubt that the White House stood with northern Virginia school officials. The Biden administration has maintained that masks are necessary to keep schools open, though some experts have challenged that thinking. Youngkin’s quick move on masks hardly came as a surprise, since the politically inexperienced finance executive had run on a platform on giving parents more say over education issues, including pandemic safety measures and teaching about racism., who said he was using the chimera of “critical race theory” — a subject not taught in Virginia’s schools — to foster racial animus among white voters.

In order to talk in class, it requires you to speak more loudly when wearing the mask. Therefore, less talking and more concentration on their schoolwork.
