Should elementary schools require masks in the fall?

Question

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. No more masks!: Our children shouldn't be required to wear masks anymore. The risks outweigh the benefits.

No more masks!: 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

No more masks!: 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

No more masks!: Let them be kids

Vanessa Cardui · Answer

No more masks!: 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.

Foster Fell · Answer

Yes, masks should be required!: 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!

Tarasem · Answer

No more masks!: 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 · Answer

No more masks!: Enough is enough...stop spreading the fear

Emily Gibson · Answer

Yes, masks should be required!: 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.
