[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think schools should say: If your child has a medical condition that prohibits wearing a mask, your child's medical condition clearly should keep him home. Enjoy the distance learning.

You're a jerk.  My kids are absolutely going to wear masks and they can.  But many people with autism and other disabilities truly can't due to sensory issues.  My BIL, who is an adult with ASD, is struggling with this tremendously.  He's going to wear a face shield when he returns to work, but the reason he can tolerate it with practice is in part because he's a grown man.  [b]Are you saying all kids with genuine disabilities that would prevent them from wearing a mask at school should stay home?  Aren't those some of the kids who need in person services most?[[/b]/quote]

That’s exactly my thought. My kid is one of those kids. He needs to be in school but may have trouble with the mask. I’m going to possibly get him a shield.[/quote]

re: the bold: You're right, not all kids can wear masks. So maybe they will be required to learn to wear shields, which is a good alternative that isn't clinging to the face. Maybe the few who cannot tolerate even a shield could be tested like clockwork every two weeks, or there are separate mask-free/shield-free classrooms only for kids who have documented medical conditions that doctors (not just parents) say prohibit anything over the face at all.

But for parents who are [b]lying[/b] to get their kids out of masks JUST because the parents don't like masks, or have self-diagnosed their kids as "unable" to wear masks:

Yes, those parents should be told: If your child's so-called condition is so bad he can't mask, then it's bad enough to keep him home.

That would get some of the lying parents to straighten up and send their kids to schools in masks.

Not the same as kids who have actual, doctor-confirmed issues.

There are already adults out there presenting faked up cards from the "FTBA" -- "Freedom to Breathe Administration" -- a Facebook group that is urging people to use these official-looking cards that say the bearer cannot be made to wear a mask due to medical reasons and anyone doubting them is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. It is VILE. So are parents who will lie about medical conditions so their kids don't have to wear masks. [/quote]
