[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 7th grader DS completely surprised me yesterday when we discussed this topic. I was disappointed MCPS didnt lift mask guidelines at least in secondary schools. and his reaction was: "are you nuts? That was totally the right call. With over a thousand kids stuffed into small spaces, masks are a necessity". I guess masks are not stifling his development.[/quote]

Agree but it impinges on the Freedom of Trumpublicans (who are paid posters that don't live in MoCo).[/quote]

The people complaining are then unofficial trumpers as they live in MoCo and pretend to be liberals who care about others.   [/quote]

This. I can’t help but wonder if the OP is one of the Margery Smelkinson groupies who are essentially no-nothing Trumpers who use her science background as a cloak for the GOP anti mask / anti vaccine / anti any sensible precaution against the spread of covid.

Schools without masks are closing all over the south. Entire districts have closed schools in Texas and Florida (both states who are anti masks in school) due to the spread of covid. MCPS has remained open and yes, while not perfect, has managed to navigate the first two months fairly well.

Masks are literally not a big deal but these anti maskers are more invested in cultish politics than the safety of our kids and keeping schools safe and open. [/quote]

Come on, OP is probably smelkinson herself. They are a [u]ridiculous[/u] group of people who think they are smarter than they actually are and hide behind their educational titles in order to get others to follow their [u]ridiculous[/u] narratives. [b]They’d love you to believe students in MoCo  are [u]killing themselves[/u] on an hourly basis, [u]all learned absolutely nothing[/u] last year, are miserable in masks, and will [u]never[/u] recover from last year. They are the worst kind of people pretending to be the best. Luckily, the [u]majority of MoCo residents aren’t as stupid[/u] as they wish we were and see them from what they truly are. “[u]Everyone’s laughing at us[/u]…” no, Margery. Everyone is laughing at you and your cronies though.[/b][/quote]

But at least Kara mcnulty finally has some “friends.” [/quote]

Hmm.  Notice the use of the belittling technique in an attempt to sway emotion on a non-factual basis.  I underlined the extreme language usage as examples.  It's clear this is not a rational argument.  This person takes an extremist viewpoint without applying logic or weighing other considerations.

I don't know who Smelkinson is, but if they're for masking, I'm a supporter.  Masking is one of the few proactive anti-covid measures available and one of the reasons why Montgomery County has been successful in keeping it's covid rate down.  It's one of the few things MCPS has done right.  Make no mistake - attempting to remove masking prior to cold and flu season (e.g. prior to Spring Break), is of ill-intent and dangerous for the children and their families.
