A Virginia public schools superintendent has ordered children to wear masks and principals to suspend any children who refuse to comply, in direct violation of an executive order by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

On Jan. 21, Virginia’s Fairfax County Public Schools superintendent posted two messages, one being a public message informing parents and students that the “regulation requiring universal masking remains in place.” The private message to school administrators ordered principals to suspend/expel all students who refuse to wear a mask.
