Parents dont have any expertise or experience in dealing with viruses & should get No say or vote over public health policies. That's what we have actual experts for. We don't call parents when our cars break down. Public Health measures are not any parent's choice" to make. No such "right" exists!

Richard Parker

All parents that wish for their children to wear a mask may choose that option. Requiring ALL students to do so is totalitarian and is not your right to enforce. Rights go both ways. Put your child in a hazmat suit if you like, but don't expect others to be required to join your folly.

DocRockk

Another American who has no idea what totalitarian actually entails or means. The state has every right to require masks of every student. That's just good Public Health policy. It's the opposite of totalitarianism. You're being ridiculous and hysterical

Michael Moran

you clearly did not do well in history/civics if you think a single rule about masking during a pandemic is what makes up a totalitarian state.

Emily Whistler

Yes, it's totalitarian to protect your offspring... Wrong. You sound like Casey Anthony.

District administrators issued the mandates after at least 15% of each school's students and staff were out because of a positive test or being exposed to coronavirus.

it's like yo-yo dieting. masks were proved to be effective, but now it's time for the metaphorical triple cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate cake

Emily Whistler

Well over 5000 children sick with COVID-19 in the state of Missouri. You wanna regulate our uteruses but not wear a piece of cloth to protect others. Disgusting.

All mask rules should be more stringent. Vaccinated or stupid. I mean not vaccinated

You are Zaos Gonzolez equal and opposite. I love to watch you flounder.

The festival this year is touting a coronavirus-safe experience, with proof of vaccination or a negative test required for entry.

Correct me if I am wrong, but they decided I can not go, not me. I've been going for several years and now they tell me I am not welcome. This is not the America I was brought up in.

Mark Cunningham

Too many restrictions. If you are so afraid of Covid that you must have proof of testing or vaccine, than you should just cancel the event. By having the restrictions i place you are discriminating against those who do not feel the vaccine is safe and those who do not want to be tested.

Will Mason

The price has become prohibitive.

Max

And there is no guarantee there won't be any drive by shootings.

TRUMP 2024

My rights do not end where your fear begins! I will not be coming because of the vaccine mandate or testing!

Laura Davidson

Little late about that question???
