Yes, masks should be required!

we should follow guidelines set by doctors and the state. Our children haven't been vaccinated yet. I don't believe it's safe for them not to wear a mask.

if not masks, how about clear face shields.

Schools should follow the guidance provided by the State and local health depts. This guidance could vary by state.

Dianne Price

There are many children who have not gotten the covid shots!

Sheri Clarke

Because kids are just as vulnerable! They pass sicknesses to each other!!!

Foster Fell

Way the question is framed sounds like a push poll. Anyway, the virus in question is extremely opportunistic. Masking policies should reflect its deviousness and depend on day to day positivity rates and types of variants. 100's of children have died and/or have gotten the MIS disease. Testing!

Emily Gibson

With the Delta variant on the rise, we need to ensure the virus will not spread in our schools among our children, who can not be vaccinated yet. It is a little thing, wearing masks, which makes a huge difference. I taught all winter/spring with masks. Kids are resilient and flexible.

Our children shouldn't be required to wear masks anymore. The risks outweigh the benefits.

Follow the science, there are too many adverse side effects to children wearing masks all day. UNNECESSARY!!! ENOUGH!!!

Alex Lifeson

Follow the science. Kids don’t need to wear a mask. Besides, it is instilling fear in them. Let the children be free. What’s next, should we build each kid a bubble to live in? Come on man enough is enough

Tanya James Lysaught

Kids aren't even at risk for covid. To require masks for children is pure insanity.

Sussie Due

I dont know why this is even being discussed AS per news report right here on this website schools here will open in the fall WITHOUT masks for teachers or students.

Stephanie McMillan

No healthy children have died from CoViD!!!

Scott Albert

It's been proven that any "Variant" has little to no effect on children and they do not transmit.

kayte eck

Based on the fact my little one comes home with a SOAKING WET mask every day last year, I'm not sure the mask helped reduce anything. I personally feel no mask would spread less germs

tim collins

Let them be kids

Vanessa Cardui

The scientific evidence does NOT support masking. In fact, the literature shows masking can INCREASE risk of viral and bacterial infections AND can cause hypoxia. No child should sacrifice the right to breathe due to protocols that are not evidence-based.

Angie Kelly-Hagen

Unhealthy and unsanitary. Emotional abuse

Fallon Sherman

Team no masks!!

Kristina Biederman

Why are we teaching out children to be in fear while at school, the place they should feel the most safe? They do not need to wear them anywhere else. Let it be a choice!

Rick Allen

NO more masks period!!!

Latterdaysaint

No one should wearing masks especially kids they are less affected by covid

Tarasem

Public schools are socialism. Pull your kids out and educate them yourself. However the publicly funded child care is probably worth the property taxes it costs, so it's a wash for most folks.

Fred Waren

Enough is enough...stop spreading the fear

Are you kidding with this question???? ICE is staffed by a bunch of n'er-do-wells and untrained baffoons at the behest of the corrupt person in the WH!! Of course! there should be NO ICE facilities anywhere in this country!!

Oakley Taylor

ICE is a dangerous entity and their presence only inspires unnecessary violence in our communities. They have no place in our state, our country.

Deborah Sanderson

I am fed up with right wing jack boots trying to turn to us all into thugs and hatefull people. They have already put the dumbest most corrupt liar, cheat, racist, bigot, adulterer, and all around dumb ass in the white house.
