The Fairfax County Parents Association has posted video taken from this week showing school children being seated on the ground outside in the snow in what school officials have described as a ‘mask and snack break.’

The footage shows a teacher from Waynewood Elementary school close to Alexandria reading to the kids while they sit apart on the concrete.

The group noted that the temperature was ‘well below freezing’:

Fairfax County Public Schools issued a statement in response noting “This morning on Twitter, an anonymous parent group posted a video that was taken outside of Waynewood Elementary School in Alexandria. In the video, a group of third grade students are taking a snack and mask break in front of the school.”

The statement continues, “The weather conditions were monitored, and the students were outside for less than seven minutes. The teacher was reading a story to keep the students entertained. Students do go outside for mask and snack breaks in cold weather, but that time is limited.”

Regarding this video, the students are taking a snack & mask break in front of the school. Weather conditions were monitored & students were outside less than 7 min.

Note that students do go outside for breaks in cold weather, but that time is limited, as was the case here.

The response did little to offset anger over the incident:

Did the person who wrote this tweet take your mask and snack break outside today?

It takes at least five minutes to get kids that age situated. Then add the story time. Why not take a break in the sunshine while moving around instead of sitting on the cold ground in the shade? Sorry, no excuses for this. Prisoners are treated better than our children.

They can mask off inside. This whole thing is ridiculous. Masks DO NOT WORK!

I was outside for 3 min. today, IN THE SUN, and my face hurt for a long time after. 7 min. In the shade, sitting on the cold cement is not ok.

Also, we’ve MORE than established that cloth masks aren’t even effective so….. why are they still wearing them?

I don’t think you got the approval from their parents asking them that their children will be out side on a cold day is a bad idea No wonder children get sick because of this

I would not consider a "break" to be sitting in freezing weather on cold concrete. Not for myself- and certainly not for children. This is unacceptable. DO BETTER.

This activity has been ongoing in schools across the country.

Last month, kindergarten students in Portland, Oregon were forced to sit outside eating lunch on buckets in the near-freezing cold while socially distanced from their classmates.

At least those kids got buckets to sit on, so they’re doing better than in Virginia.

CNN’s Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy expressed disbelief and horror Monday that more Americans are beginning to live their lives normally again after two years of media driven pandemic panic and fear.

Stelter asked a question that everyone already knows the answer to, “is the media out of touch with the public about COVID?”

In a statement the irony of which can be lost on no one, Darcy replied that yes, the media is out of touch.

Darcy further proclaimed “I think this is an issue because if people are tuning out what’s going on in cable news…the general population… you know, they’re just, you know, ignoring everything and living their lives and we’re not really getting the information that they need to them.”

CNN’s @oliverdarcy worries people will be directionless without the major media: “If people are tuning out what’s going on in cable news … they’re just, you know, ignoring everything and living their lives and we’re not really getting the information that they need to them." pic.twitter.com/h1dgECjS79

However will fewer than 200,000 Americans who regularly watch primetime CNN be able to cope without their daily dose of virus fearmongering?

And how will CNN be able to sell more ad time if Americans turn it off and leave their homes?

A Parish councillor in the UK got a police visit and was threatened with arrest for sharing a Facebook post that said “trans rights are boring.”

No, this isn’t the Babylon Bee.
