VIRGINIA PARENTS FRUSTRATED SOME SCHOOLS ARE STILL FORCING MASKS ON KIDS
Mother of two Alecia Vaught joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss the heated exchange, explaining how parents in the district are "fed up" with the blatant hypocrisy as many officials refuse to honor the new optional mask policy.
"We the parents are just fed up with the hypocrisy," Vaught told co-host Steve Doocy. "Our kids have had to suffer for two years. These masks have caused isolation, depression, it hurts their ears."
"It's just been such a harm to our kids, and then we see these school board members get on and just flaunt openly with no mask on, and it just seems a little bit hypocritical," she continued. "So I thought that the board needed to know that."

The heated exchange took place last week at the Montgomery County school board meeting, when Vaught brought up the photos prompting outrage from the chairwoman, Susan Kass, who claimed the photo was of her family. Vaught insisted the picture shows Kass with friends and co-workers.
Kass ended up storming out after she reportedly asked an officer to remove Vaught.
"I said, we're coming for your seats, all of them, because we are," Vaught said. "We the parents are fed up, and we're getting these liberals off of our school board."
