The younger generation is now catching the Delta variant

Wendi Newman

I will worry until my younger children can be vaccinated

Chris Hill

Non-vaccinated studets crowded together in poorly ventilated buildings, sounds like a great thing. They will get a real education in being sick.

As a parent, it's your duty and obligation to do everything you can to ensure that your child stays healthy. This includes a mask and when they cam become vaccinated, you do it

JUSTIN JOBY

Because every precaution under the weather should be taken for *kids*. They require you to protect them. If they die because of some unforeseen reason then that is blood on your hands.

Some parents are upset with the decision, saying the rule is unnecessary. The district said masks will help keep students from having to quarantine if they're exposed.

Masking a healthy child is dumb. Masking is a parents choice not the school boards.

Brooklyn Nicole

bc wearing a mask for hours a day breathing in your own recycled carbon dioxide is not good for anyone, especially children. It causes chest pain, makes you light headed, etc . It's not good for you.

Debra Riffle

science tells us that young children are are a very low risk of hospitalization or serious effects from a Covid. We have no idea what the effects of having a child breath through layers of fibrous materials are.

Max

Foolish idea. Why not follow the science. That would not fit the plan. The fear monitoring must continue. Regardless of who has to be harmed.

This sounds like a great way to reduce the over abundance of government employees.

I have a good ol 12 gauge waiting😂

I'm vaccinated, but I don't think the Biden Admin understands how dangerous this is. They do this, they're asking for trouble.

Thomas James Hoey

If people want it, they will get it. It shouldn't be up to the government to go door to door.

Jeff Coats

nun ya

Keith Herdzina

Too many criminals will take advantage of this. How many criminals will be allowed into someone's home under the lie of a vaccine visit. Old people get scammed daily. The vaccine is and has been easily available for those that wanted it. This is a waist of money and is dangerous.

Patricia Holliday Perkins

This is AMERICA and we have freedom of choice! This is an individual choice.

Letitia DenHartog

Unless they debate well, they won't change minds.
