“If I was ya’ll, I’d say none of ya’ll wear a mask. What are they gonna do? They’re still going to have school.”
Good’s timing in encouraging students to unmask is not great, as Rappahannock County schools have been experiencing a recent spike in Covid cases. Twelve students and two staffers had the virus
, and another 56 students and staff members were under quarantine. Good’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment fromRappahannock County High School Principal Carlos Seward attended the event and felt that Good “reflected his own values,” the paper wrote.Rappahannock NewsThe county superintendent, Dr. Shannon Grimsley, said in a statement to thethat Good’s address “was within the context of a small group of government students.
“The students, under the carefully propitious and contemplative tutelage of Mr. Stockdale, were then able to unpack the ideas and insights of the Congressman against the backdrop of current laws, processes, and complexities that exist among the different levels of government,” Grimsley said. In addition to Covid misinformation, Good spewed anti-abortion “life begins at conception” views, saying he would like to end abortion everywhere, and warned the students about non-faith-based colleges and universities that he said are “dominated by the left” and “try and change what you believe.” He also railed against Critical Race Theory, which the paper reported is not taught in Rappahannock Schools.
Good is so staunch in his refusal to follow evidence-based public health guidance that he forced a last-minute venue change. The talk was originally scheduled to take place in the school’s auditorium, but Good refused to wear a mask, so it was relocated to the football stadium instead.
