Will your DC wear mask to school when Youngkin lifts school mask mandate next week?

^^^And their schools are still terrible so I think our kids will be just fine. It’s a mask, not a straight jacket.

Chap Petersen is a hero! Thank you for unmasking our kids, and stopping this anti-science forced masking of kids.

As Dr. McBride explained ath the townhall, after 2 years, there's 0 scientific evidence that shows forced masking of kids has a material effect on COVID transmission. 0. The only people not following the science are the forced child maskers.

+1. So thankful a politician could put politics aside and actually "followed the science."

Nearly 700 kids have died of covid during the pandemic. It has consistently been listed under the top 10 cause of death for kids. Kids aren't supposed to die so when a small number of kids die from something it is significant. 400-500 kids died of measles a year before we had a vaccine. A handful of kids died from the FP Rock n. Play before it was recalled. 608 kids 12 and under died from car accidents in 2019, kids over all the average is around 1500. 1800 kids die of cancer a year. Under 1K kids die from drowning.

Those are all relatively small numbers when we consider the number of children in the US but they are all significant because kids are not supposed to die.But no one says car accidents don't kill kids or cancer doesn't kill kids. No one says that a parent shouldn't be worried that their kid will get cancer, or they shouldn't wear a seat belt or they shouldn't teach their kid to swim. When again, the kids of all of this is very low.

Yes, your kid has a small risk of having serious complications from covid and a smaller risk of death. But we take so many precautions for so many other things that our children also have a very small risk of death or injury from. I am not sure why folks are so angry about the risks from covid.

(Again yes, I am saying the risk is low. I am just saying it shouldn't be insane that people want to take precautions)

Statistics show dying in a car crash more kid than dying of flurona. So chill with the forced muzzling of children with an oppressive and gagging tool.

Now we are anti-seatbelt?

That statistic is with seatbelts, airbags, car seats, etc. I'm sorry you've sacrificed so much for so little risk over the past 2 years, but it's time for you forced child maskers to take the L. You lost, kids won.

STILL will be mind boggling in 50 years time (if they’ve allowed you to make it that far)
to reminisce about this pAndemiC and adults WANTING to impose on (healthy) CHILDREN to live in fear and under perpetual psychological submission by covering the body’s airways. A whole industry of mask(ing) was created.

And STILL they’ll argue with you like the were right or some sh!t

Because masks are a reasonable scientifically supported precautions, I will continue to argue against selfish ignorant evil people like you to the end of times.

You and me both, PP. You and me both. Together with other like-minded people we can work towards the day when the willfully ignorant will open their eyes and ears to the truth.

^^^ Your truth? Or our truth? Our truth is that the downsides to mask mandates outweigh the community benefits. I hope that "our truth" wins out over "your truth."

Many of those parents are Ds, all cheering on a D VA Senator.

Crazy the overlap of the closed schoolers from 1 year ago and the forced child maskers today. These people have been wrong time and time again, and have 0 credibility left.

FCCPS is maskless starting tomorrow! My kids are so happy. They hate masks. They feel bad for a few friends of theirs who have really nutty parents that don't understand risks.

Fccps is mask optional starting tomorrow. As of Friday , no more than 5 percent of parents have opted out of masks (a form is required).

Let’s see how many have opted out a week from now. It will be more.

A lot of people were ready to turn in forms before the “new normal” infographic was circulated. There are plenty of people who know their kids will stay masked but want to give them the option to take a mask break and not get in trouble. Once those parents saw the infographic, they were worried their kids would be segregated and shunned (even if they were masked 95% of the time). I think the number will go up once parents have more reassurance that their kids won’t be shamed for having the option to unmask in PE or briefly at other times. Very few kids or parents want to fully unmask, but there’s no nuance in FCC so you only hear from the opposite ends of the spectrum and the large number of parents in the middle stay silent for fear of being ostracized. I give huge credit to the teachers and building leaders who sent out very reassuring emails to parents late on Friday and over the weekend, making clear that every child who enters their schools will be treated with love and respect no matter what they decide to do about masks. Many of them didn’t even know about the infographic until parents told them….

I think its way higher than 5%. I can personally name more people who have opted out than that. Many who are not 'known advocates' have opted out. We are going to opt out- we just haven't completed the onerous process yet.

I guess I'm one of those "nutty" parents. I actually do see the risks... of viruses, which is why we'll be remaining in masks.

I can't get behind the "masks are hurting our children" argument. I wear a mask 8-9 hours a day at work with absolutely no problems. My children wear masks with no problems, as well. It's not hard.

I’m pretty sure the school deleted it. It might be in Ilya Shapiro’s tweet.
