This is the Huh in case you missed the point:
Psaki claps back at Youngkin over school mask mandates
White House press secretary Jen Psaki weighed into Virginia’s debate over school mask mandates on Sunday after newly sworn-in Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) criticized a school district that pledged to flout his bid to make masking optional.
Youngkin’s executive order allows parents to opt their children out of any mask mandates at schools. Responding to Arlington Public Schools saying masks would still be required in schools and on buses, Youngkin accused the district of failing to listen to “parents.”
In a tweet Sunday evening, Psaki responded to the governor, who made defending the voice of parents in education a cornerstone of his campaign.
“Hi there. Arlington county parent here (don’t believe you are @GlennYoungkin but correct me if I am wrong),” Psaki wrote. “Thank you to @APSVirginia for standing up for our kids, teachers and administrators and their safety in the midst of a transmissible variant.”
Virginia House Del. Patrick Hope (D) questioned the legality of Youngkin’s order in an interview with WTOP over the weekend, arguing that state code compels schools to follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommends mask wearing.
“The governor has no authority to exercise any control over Arlington Public School systems, or any other school system, on this matter,” he said. “The governor's executive order has no authority at all.”

Why do repukes want to enable the covid deaths of children?
Poor Jen...She bought him even more support with her tweet...
Sunday afternoon, Youngkin released the following statement:
"First of all, we wrote the order specifically to give all schools system basically eight days to get ready, to listen to parents, and the fact that that tweet came out from Arlington county within minutes of my executive order what that tells me is that they didn't listen to parents yet. If there is one thing that hopefully everybody heard in November, is it is time to listen to parents. Over the course of this week, I hope they will listen to parents because we will use every resource within the governor's authority to explore what we can do and will do in order to make sure that parents' rights are protected. The code of Virginia is really clear - parents have a right ot make decisions with regard to their children's upbringing, education, and care - we are going to protect that right and so I just hope that Arlington county schools and the rest of the school systems around the Commonwealth of Virginia use this week to listen to parents and get prepared because we granted parents the option of deciding whether they want their child to wear a mask or not - and we are going to protect that right."

Who knows what's best for their children? Parents let Virginia know....
The problem is the politicization of science which dates back to Creationism in the 90s and global warming in the 00s.
While I am a very strong advocate of science and reason, half of any group of humans are subpar dumbasses. The two political parties spend more time spinning the dummies than they do educating them. Thus, we have politicians catering to the under employed, poorly educated partisan masses.
We truly do get the government we deserve.
