Courageous high school student exposes the Roanoke County, Virginia school board on mask mandates.
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has passed a state-wide executive order barring all Virginia school systems from imposing any mask mandates on their students. This EO went into effect yesterday (Monday).
Despite this, the Roanoke County school board decided last Friday to KEEP the mask mandates in place well into February (defying Youngkin’s executive order) and will then “revisit the issue.”
Roanoke County is a very conservative area that has allowed a few loud voices to dictate policy as of late.

The mission of the VIRGINIA CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE is to promote moral, social and scientific issues we face today from a Biblical point of view. In addition we will refute and oppose, not with hate, but with facts and humor, the secular cultural abuses that have overridden laws and standards of conduct of the past. We will encourage Christians to participate in these efforts through conferences, development of position papers, booklets and tracts, radio/TV spots, newspaper ads and articles and letters-to-the editor, web sites, newsletters and providing speakers for church and civic meetings.
