Merianne Jenson tore apart officials on the Prince William County School Board, noting that other schools in the country have stayed open throughout the pandemic without mask mandates and operated perfectly normally.

"Unfortunately, politics leads us to believe there is only one solution. Masks," Jensen said, adding that when other schools refused to implement mandates "There were not child coffins lined up as some educators in this county suggested would be the case. In fact, things have been going pretty much as normal."

"Kids are getting sick despite wearing masks," Jenson continued, urging "We are forcing healthy children home for 'exposure' despite them wearing masks. And we are segregating children by vaccination status and religious exemption status despite the wearing of masks."

"So I ask you, if masks work, why don't they?" she said to rapturous applause from other parents.
