To the editor:

Six years ago, I stood up at a local school board meeting for the very first time. I wasn’t looking for the spotlight; I was just a worried mom and community member. During that peak-COVID meeting, someone callously argued against protecting vulnerable kids because “only two children would die.” Hearing such a cold calculation of human life shook me to my core.
