So where is the equivalent for all the parents who want to comply with local health guidance and not have our school act the scofflaw? Are you planning to use your town hall to get loud and then pretend everyone agrees with you?

Local health guidance is going to end mask mandates in another 10 days. Good for them to get in front of it. ADW should be ready to drop masks the moment moco drops the mandate in all indoor spaces. Regardless, private schools are not under the same guidelines as public schools with regard to masks.

How long do you feel kids need to cover their faces? Seriously. There is suffering. Luckily in Catholic schools there is a sense of community and love and the kids have been more resilient than public schools, where we are witnessing a severe mental health crisis brought on by a multitude of things like isolation and, yes, masking. But it is happening on a smaller scale and is only a matter of time. Time to let children start to experience normal social interactions with their teachers and peers.

+1 Catholic schools have been amazing during the pandemic. my kids are thriving. they've never had a covid test. or had to quarantine. or had to listen and experience the endless fear mongering in this area. they've been in person since september 2020. now it's time to let them unmask and move on completely.

What a lesson to teach them to move on with their own carefree lives while others around then suffer with illness and death.

Surely there’s a Bible teaching someone in here…

Nope just protected their childhood joy and innocence. Not going to apologize for that!

I commend they parents for standing up for what they believe is right! And all those that agree should attended the town hall.

PP - if you don't agree, don't ask for an equivalent make it happen yourself.

Agree. Hopefully teachers have a choice to unmask too!

Spoken like someone who doesn’t care that one of our colleagues at our DC Catholic school recently passed from COVID.

Come now. That is unfair. We all do care and we are also all very aware that there are many factors that played a hand in any Covid death. We don’t know a thing about her/his preexisting conditions. It is unlikely that working at a school is what led to her/his death.

Agreed. Was the teacher vaccinated? No one talks about this ...

I think the lesson is to not have a small minority of people drag down and punish everyone else. And impose their mental and health challenges upon all others.

“Bizarre new trend: painting fears about the virus (thousands of deaths daily, approaching 1M us deaths, no current end in sight, vaccine effectiveness but waning over time) as "unreasonable" and "unsustainable."

What a weird form of gaslighting.”

Jeff, there seems to be an organized, agenda-driven effort to mobilize around undercover mother, anti-mask etc. messaging. Not saying to shut it down, people are free to discuss, but can we consolidate all these into one and/or slap a health warning that these are likely organized agenda-driven trolls with talking points posing as concerned mothers?

It’s misleading otherwise.

Are you serious? Even CNN says it is time for masks to be optional in schools. Seems there is a contingent of people here who don’t want progress.

It's not PP's viewpoint, so it must be trolling.

Your silly quips just make you look sad. No one wants to wear masks forever. Just following the guidance, which is evolving and changing with the tide of cases and vaccinations.
