Caroline O’Halloran writes in Savvy Main Line –
At a meeting punctuated by riotous applause, cheers, jeers and out-of-order outbursts from angry parents, the T/E School Board unanimously approved a mask mandate for all students this week.
It wasn’t pretty.
Both sides – for and against the mask requirement – attended in roughly equal numbers but those opposed were decidedly more vocal, at times verging on disruptive.
Board President Michele Burger issued so many stern warnings, we lost count. Follow the rules, wear your mask properly and speak respectfully when it’s your turn, she all but begged parents. If you don’t, the school board will do what Great Valley’s did a few weeks ago – walk out, she warned.
“Don’t be the person who shuts this down,” she cautioned a man who kept yelling out of turn, sometimes profanely, his mask repeatedly slipped below his nose or off his face altogether.
O’Halloran posted this video of a man (in a video below he identifies himself as Andrew McLellan), screaming out of order at school board members, “You work for us.” McCllelan lives at 4159 White Horse Rd, in Charlestown Township, which is not located in the Tredyffrin-Easstown School District
McClellan’s outburst inspired others to record him articulating his opposition the T/E mask mandate – above.
Same guy, different shirt, different school board
Andrew McClellan, the man who disrupted the Tredyffin-Easttown School Board meeting last week, spoke earlier in the month at what Chester Counting Ramblings describes as an an Un School Board Meeting of the Great Valley School District.
