Beth Ann Rosica began writing letters to Governor Tom Wolf in April of 2020, just a couple of weeks after schools and businesses were forcibly closed across Pennsylvania in the early days of the COVID outbreak. She could never imagine those letters would turn into activism that would ultimately lead to one of the single greatest citizen victories in the country.
By the spring of 2021, most Americans knew what COVID was, how it was spread, and who was vulnerable. People were suffering COVID fatigue from the endless and ineffective mandates, but none more so than kids in states like Pennsylvania where most had been relegated to Zoom classroom sessions with their teachers and classmates since the previous spring of 2020.
The long-term effects of those disastrous policy decisions are still not fully understood. Substance abuse, depression, failing grades, and even suicide became the norm. Some estimate child development was stunted by years.
Beth Ann Rosica and fellow parents in her community formed a political action committee called “Back to School PA.” She, along with civic leaders and small business owners successfully campaigned for two state constitutional amendments which Pennsylvania citizens ultimately passed in the Spring of 2021 terminating the governor’s endless “emergency” edicts in favor of a twenty-one-day limit on all future emergencies. Any extended emergency beyond twenty-one days would have to be voted on and adopted by the state legislature.
I hope this isn’t an April Fool’s joke and a Democrat Judge really did uphold the local laws against a liberal school board!
We need more activists like this and more real judges that uphold the law and don’t legislate politics from their bench!
That is awesome !!!!! Hope we can do that in Wicomico County too. . . . . Darren are you seeing this ? When you get voted in (or before) this would be a great victory for Wicomico parents and taxpayers. Sick and tired of half witted left winged Unions and teachers dictating my grandkids.
Be careful when you vote for school board, you might get what you wished for.
12:40 lmao, anything would be better then the clowns in there now! you must be part of the problem!
what would you expect from the pack this person leads? “On July 30th the Whitehouse announced its intentions to nominate Randi Weingarten’s wife, Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, to a position appointed by President Biden.”
Why aren,t schools and other organizations having meetings so voters can meet school board candidates?
Before you cricitize the present school board , you should take some time to find out the politics of the candidates. There are at least two that are progressive Democrates and would change the make up of the board. Do you really know these people.
