[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ACLU lawsuit is ridiculous.  The ADA entitles a qualified individual with a disability to an effective accommodation- not the accommodation of their choice.  Prior to filing suit, an individual with a disability has to go through an interactive process to get such an accommodation.  In this lawsuit, the plaintiffs attempt to argue that somehow other students not wearing a cloth mask (which is not a proven effective 'accommodation' in any event) means they are not being accommodated?  It should get tossed out of court immediately.  Now- if the law said no student was allowed to wear a mask, preventing immuno compromised students from wearing a n95 mask themselves, that might get somewhere.  [/quote]

Agree completely. The lawsuit is preposterous. Cloth masks provide very little benefit and one way masking with a high-quality mask is a very effective accommodation. The ACLU jumped the shark with this lunacy, [b]especially when many disabled kids are suffering from mask mandates[/b]. [/quote]

This is what kills me the most about the stupidity of the ACLU lawsuit. [b]Where is the concern for kids with Autism, speech issues, sensory issues, cognitive disabilities, etc. who have struggled with masking? Where was the outcry when children with IEPs lost in-person services last year? [/b]The absolute focus on COVID infection as the *only* possible harm that exists in the world is beyond insane to me. Not to mention, they are asking other people to change *their* behavior as an accommodation for someone else. When there is the scientifically proven accommodation of having the immunocompromised person mask. Further, even if cloth masks were more than a facial decoration at this point, I’m not sure you can classify masking of tens and thousands of children across the state to be “reasonable.”[/quote]

EXACTLY! my child has a mild hearing issue and has missed half the year because she couldn't understand what the teachers were saying half the time or what her classmates were saying.
I am so sick of the lawsuits coming out of the woodwork over these stupid masks.  If you want your kid to wear one, fine. If a teacher wants to wear one, fine. But if not, just let it go and stop suing over every darn thing. 
I am also sick of the faux immunocompromised claims that every parent comes up with.  I mean I get it because it's easy to slap this label on a child because the bar is much lower than people realize but they also don't realize is there are many situations and circumstances when the immunocompromised state is temporary.
