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.

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.

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

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.

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!

if not masks, how about clear face shields.
ReplySchools should follow the guidance provided by the State and local health depts. This guidance could vary by state.
ReplyThere are many children who have not gotten the covid shots!
ReplyBecause kids are just as vulnerable! They pass sicknesses to each other!!!
ReplyWay 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!
ReplyWith 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.
