[quote=Anonymous]We need leadership on this issue. Punting by saying "parents aren't asking for it" is the cowards way out. Some parents won't advocate for it because they don't have the time. Some won't advocate because they don't know what the safe thing to do is and just want to be told what to do. And some won't advocate for fear of social consequences of being seen as "anti-mask". You can criticize people in all of these categories all you want, but the truth is that they cover probably most DCPS families.

What is the point of having a Department of Health, a Chancellor, and a Mayor making these decisions if they can't look at the science, look at our Covid numbers, and make a decision that makes sense, and then explain it to people so they understand? IT'S THEIR JOB.

This isn't to say I don't think people should advocate by writing to the Mayor and the Council -- we should and are. It's just ridiculous for the Mayor to say she's going to avoid making a public health policy decision because parents aren't complaining about it enough. FFS.[/quote]
