  1. Given this filthy, child abusing, corrupt, garbage Capital District is 70% or more filled with sociopathic, psychotic Branch Covidian Cultists of Covidstan, the Scruel Kommissars probably do represent the majority opinion. It’s inherent in a Cult to think this uniformly. Their abject lack and inability to critically think and their level of invincible ignorance is a sight to behold.

  2. “…reported that 70% of Leon County School employees with CHP insurance, about 67% of total employees, have been vaccinated at this time, they believe that is close to seven out of every ten employees.”

    Really? They ‘believe’ it is close to 7/10 employees, as in they’re not sure? This is 5th grade math, folks. Maybe it is time for “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? – School Board Edition”. Mr. Foxworthy, please help us bring some comedy to this tragedy.

  3. ” looking into hiring additional help to supervise students, K-8, during the lunch hour to help keep students stay distanced.”

    WHAT? Back when I was in School, the TEACHERS ate with us and controlled the Students. No need to HIRE any one to do that.

  4. “However, Dr. Cox responded that the CDC has said temperature checking is no longer effective, but they can reestablish the action if the Board desires to.”

    …sooooooo… Science and the CDC do not really matter… its all about what the alt-left wingnuts “desire”.

    … got it…

    RECALL THEM ALL!

  5. I agree Hope. Wood says they (the LCSB) are educators but she is confused about what type of education. The whole Board needs to revisit their job descriptions.

    They should be coming up with creative ways to teach reading, writing and arithmetic to the 50% of students lagging behind their peers. Maybe they should offer prizes to incentivize these children to succeed at their school work. Maybe they should hire additional help to tutor students who are struggling with their school work. They should do what they would do for their own children if their own children were not performing at grade level.

  6. Woods would be much better suited to the position of President of your homeowners association. Imagine your joy upon waking up early Saturday morning to President Woods out in your yard with a tape measure in her hand preaching to you about how you are in serious violation of the rules by allowing your grass to grow 1/4 inch higher then the HOA rules. And of course handing you a fifty dollar fine.
    Next weekend: Knock Knock Knock!!! “Dont answer the door honey its that evil witch President Woods again.
    Next weekend and every subsequent weekend:
    Knock Knock Knock yeah President Woods again, and again, and again…

  7. Would someone please brief Wood that she is not a doctor, the vaccine czar, nor the mask police.

    She has completely lost sight of her job description and given herself empowerment that is totally inappropriate, illegal, and dangerous to the public at large… Especially our children.

    She does something weekly that is so egregious that she should resign. The public should be concerned. She has stepped way out of bounds.

  8. The vaccine does not stop the spread of COVID nor does it decrease the potency of the virus. It only protects the person who got the jab. Period.

  9. In all seriousness, Woods needs to be stopped. She wants to incentivize the use of an experimental drug (keep telling yourself its approved) on the very children she is responsible for educating. This is madness! We DON’T know the long-term effects of the vaccines. No one does! They’re not even a year old yet!

    To use innocent children as guinea pigs is sickening! If this is passed, I trust Woods will not receive immunity from future legal action. I cannot believe we’re thinking of offering Amazon and Starbucks gift cards in exchange for a child’s role in the world’s largest human drug trial. This cannot be America.
