Orange County votes to reopen schools without masks or increased social distancing.
Orange County education leaders voted 4 to 1 Monday evening to approve recommendations for reopening schools in the fall that do not include the mandatory use of masks for students or increased social distancing in classrooms amid a surge in coronavirus cases.
The Board of Education did, however, leave reopening plans up to individual school districts.
[Orange County has long been a Republican stronghold, although thanks to the madness of the GOP it now has more registered Democrats.]
