Take masks off of these babies! This youngest generation of children at school have a hard enough time paying attention as it is, let alone just wrapping up their face for most of the day so they have something to play with.

Courtney Lucas

Masks should be optional. CPS only cares about the ESSER money they receive for keeping mandates in place. They do not care about our kids!!!

Max DeYoung

Mask the teachers and other adult staff. Leave the children alone.

Because they have no authority over the public.

They are not elected representatives of our constitutional rights not to enter into a health care system of our own God-Given Free Will of choice.
