[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. Our kids have spent a year and a half of their childhoods wearing useless cloth masks over their faces.

Vaccines are available for anyone who wants one.

COVID is here to stay; it’s already mutated into a highly-transmissible (hello, silly cloth masks!) but far less serious virus on par with the flu. It is far less of a threat to children than countless other risks and diseases which we have learned to live.

Anyone who is still concerned now has access to PPE (n95 masks, face shields, latex gloves) and can make use of that. The era of dictating to other people’s children about this stuff is over.

I think what’s really irking people is that compliance with mask and vaccine mandates has become a political thing. Thank God that the Arlington Diocese has done the right thing and trusted parents to make the choice that’s right for their family. [/quote]

During a pandemic, “doing what’s right for my family” is not always an option if it affects others. Even kids who are vaccinated are now going to get covid simply b/c they are sitting in a classroom all day with unvaccinated/unmasked kids. Why can’t we all embrace doing what is right for the community DURING A HIGHLY INFECTIOUS SURGE WHERE HOSPITALS ARE AT CAPACITY?[/quote]
