Local micro-tyrant cry-bully alert🚨

Town council member (in RI) decries OpEd in local paper that questioned the firing of 3 teachers requesting jab exemption, by writing her own tyrannical screed:

“We value the science behind (vax), have adhered to masking and value our students’ safety... To understand how it could be look at FL, GA, TX community spread. Children out of school, communities paralyzed by virus, hospitals overrun because they rejected a simple solution.” 🤔

Not to let facts interfere, but whatever the “simple solution these states rejected” might be, there is no statistical difference in fatality rates between RI,FL,GA,TX.

Not to let more facts interfere but out of those states, kids were in school by far the least in RI

No matter, said junior tyrant’s real point is this:

“Please do not question basic and accepted facts - it’s part of a damaging trend”

You mean like the basic “facts” above? Or that firing teachers who worked throughout the pandemic and followed the rules “keeps us safe”?

But here’s the real problem according to this local pol: “One of the scariest things happening across the country is the vilification of local politicians.”

Or is the scariest thing actually local pols who believe they are entitled to their own indisputable facts?

Is the scariest thing Local pols who believe they should be immune from challenge, debate, and criticism, and who believe they know what’s best for you?

It’s a pandemic of self-appointed self-important “deciders”.

Undemocratic, unconstitutional and unAmerican. That’s scary.
