[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, if a student in your child’s class has cancer, you’re not willing to have your kid mask?[/quote]

Nope. There are home based teaching options if you are that medically fragile. [/quote]

This is not at all reasonable to impose on the rest of the kids. [/quote]

Ableism. [/quote]

Just add an “ism” allegation when you don’t agree with something someone says and then you don’t actually have to think about any nuances![/quote]

This is really not a very effective rebuttal. Of course it's discriminatory to exclude the disabled child from participating in society. [/quote]

A medically fragile child cannot be in a congregate setting with a classroom full of kids because of their health condition, not because they’re being excluded from “participating in society.” A severely autistic or intellectually delayed is not going to be able to be in a mainstream classroom either because of their disability. It’s not an “ism.” Masking every child in class will not stop viruses from spreading. Viruses including COVID still made their way through schools even with mask mandates. It’s a classroom with kids who may be harboring germs, not a hospital operating room. [/quote]
