(Video courtesy of Loudon County School Board)(Meredith) -- A Virginia dad is going viral after venting his frustrations about schools remaining closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.The video shows the father addressing the Loudon County School Board during the public comment portion of a meeting on Tuesday.He calmly begins by saying: "You should all be fired from your day jobs because if your employers knew that you were more inefficient than the DMV, you would be replaced in a heartbeat. I literally just finished a conference call because I'm having to multitask to be here to address you guys. You're a bunch of cowards hiding behind our children as an excuse for keeping schools closed."As the dad continues to talk, he grows increasingly angry while addressing the school board."The garbage workers who pick up my freaking trash risk their lives every day more than anyone in this school system," he says. "Figure it out! Or get off the podium. Because you know what? There are people like me and a lot of other people out there who will gladly take your seat and figure it out. It’s not a high bar. Raise the freaking bar!"While walking out of the board room, he can be heard saying: "I'll be back next time. And the next time — till you open the freaking schools!"A school board member then asks a deputy to make sure the man leaves.Aliscia Andrews, a Marine Corps veteran and a former Republican candidate for Congress, shared the video on Twitter, where it amassed more than 419,000 views.Later in the meeting, Superintendent Dr. Scott Ziegler implored parents to have patience as the school system follows reopening guidelines from the Virginia Department of Education.&nbsp;"I just like to remind folks in all of my discussions surrounding COVID-19, whether it be with teachers or principals or board members or parents, that we really need to come at this from a place where we are operating with patience, with flexibility, with comfort of the not yet known, and with grace," said Ziegler. "We can have a differing of opinions, but we can express those opinions and express our thoughts on what the plan is moving forward."WTOP-TV reported that the Loudoun County School Board will vote next Tuesday on a plan to resume in-person school for students whose parents chose hybrid learning.The plan would put a limited number of students in pre-K through fifth grade back in school buildings no later than February 16, while other grade levels would return to the classroom by March 3.Copyright 2021 Meredith Corporation.
