Actually it’s been deemed illegal. CPS Board Members do NOT have legal authority to do this THEY ARE NOT LEGISLATORS. They need to leave medical care and parental children’s rights to the parents and kids. It’s in the MO constitution too. Maybe read it?

Maybe you should move to a blue state, No, they are cancelling these stupid mask mandates to. Just move, or quit whining.

Actually, he should sue the individuals that make this decision, not the schools. The students and the taxpayers should not be punished for the actions of other peoples stupidity.

Parental rights and the students rights are at stake. No school board member has the right over legislators to force this. Missouri’s emergency is over. The alarmists need to start moving on to saving our country from Brandon.

Sheeple can't function, without constant guidance, and their ceremonial masks, and other forms of safety equipment, such as hand sanitizers, etc., etc....

Before forcing students to wear masks they should do online learning. The bottom line is the virus is not any deadlier than the flu for young people. If teachers want to wear a mask do so, but there should be no mandate.

Let the people in each individual district who know the conditions in that district make decisions for them. Politicians need to stop interjecting where thy do not belong just to further their career. It appears they have no regard for what is best for the people. Shameful

He should not be wasting the state's funds for this. The school administrations know what is best for them and their schools. These are different times. Our children should remain safe, as deemed necessary to the current situations.

Let the schools handle what is best for them. He is only doing it for his own political gain while running for Senate. I would think he would have more urgent matters to handle than attacking our schools.

CPS has no legal authority to continue fear-mongering. Cloth masks, the vaxes don’t work, online learning stunts learning and developmental stages, but keep living in fear if it makes you feel better. Mass Formation Psychosis is real. Eric Schmitt does a great job!

He needs to keep his nose out of this. Thank goodness the local schools have enough sense to do what needs to be done and keep our kids safe. Learning from home and being healthy is far better than being in an unhealthy environment and potentially making others seriously ill

The Attorney General threats of suing school districts, who are trying to better control illness at their LOCAL LEVEL, should be considered overreach. And any school district who is sued should successfully sue the attorney general’s office for any expenses/damages arising from spread of disease.

That decision belongs to the local school board. He's making it political at the risk of students, teachers, other staff and families.

Doesn't Mr. Schmitt have more important work to do than interfere with schools that are trying to make it safer for their students and staff so they might avoid having to resort to virtual learning.

Let the schools decide about mask mandates. Schmitt is only getting involved in this for political reasons. He should be fighting crime, not high schools

We absolutely have to break the cycle of this thing mutating over and over, because it WILL become a much deadlier variety soon enough, if we don't. A mask over our faces, as well as better handwashing, avoiding touching our faces, social distancing, and staying home when sick, will do that! DO IT!

95% of new cases are Omicron, and only one death has been reported from the Omicron virus, and that was a person from Houston on December 24, 2021, who had serious underlying issues.

Mandates need to end. If you want your child to wear a mask, that's your choice. We need to start living life and quit having the government and especially the school board inducing fear. That is how they are going to control the society is by fear. Live life to it's fullest, not in fear.

mask done do anything, only N95 mask work. which they only work for 2 hours most, and you wouldn’t have much fun having to change your mask every 2 hours. the cdc had said that. and not everyone’s kid wants to wear a mask, you can have ur kid wear a mask but don’t make kids who don’t want to do so.

Studies show they done work. And it is unconstitutional by the MO & Fed Constitution to force citizens, including kids, into a health care system without their consent. This also means without parental consent. No science doesn’t support them. Hope Eric Schmitt is watching.

Masks are both ineffective at reducing spread of covid and also impair interpersonal relationships.
