https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/19/health/cobb-county-schools-georgia-covid/index.htmlParents pull kids from schools as district bucks CDC guidance and board member spreads misinformation

(CNN)It's the third week of school in Cobb County, Georgia, and many parents are livid with the district's lax Covid-19 protocols and dangerous misinformation being disseminated by a school board member via his official email account.
Some parents, including those with children suffering from asthma and one whose 13-year-old has a flagging immune system after fending off a rare leukemia as a younger child, are taking their kids out of school, they told CNN.
Child Covid-19 cases are steadily increasing. But with schools opening, expert warns this is just the beginning
"Every day, there's a chaotic event -- entire grades sent home," said Jessica Zeigler, who has taken her three kids, including two with health issues, out of county schools. "Every day seems like a series of terrible decisions that we have to make."
Added Sara Cavorley, who took five of her kids, including the aforementioned 13-year-old, out of school this week: "I shouldn't have to choose between my children's life and school. That's a no-brainer. I choose my kids."

and ignorant some are, and then they attack others. Incredible. And then the threats.

Still waiting to see interviews with normal science-believing parents, Clinton/Biden voters we "need to understand", and people other than war criminals' opinion on Afghanistan.

but for mass media, we need responsible free speech IMO.
