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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Unhealthy and unsanitary. Emotional abuse

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!

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.

I don't want to plan ahead that much - prefer the spontaneous outings.

Your question really needs to address wilderness camping as that activity impacts greatly the wilderness landscape. Day, permits, visits are far less destructive to the Three Sisters Wilderness and easier to obtain.

Your already paying for high gas prices to get there

"Your" already paying? Did you think the price of gas included admission to wherever "you're" going? How about Disneyland? "Your" already paying for the gas to go there so it should be free, right? Maybe if you fly they should pay you?

Just one more thing you have to pay for

Dude, try to hike the Wonderland Trail at MRNP. It is a lottery for dates - good luck.
