[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Lafayette there were maybe 2-3 masked kids per room, everyone else had them off. [/quote]

Wow, I definitely think you will notice a difference between predominantly white schools, and predominately black schools. My school is 90+% black, everyone wore a mask.[/quote]

I noticed in my predominantly white ES that a much larger percentage of black students were masked than white. That makes sense to me, however. If your community has felt the effects more, and lives with a heightened sense of threat on a daily basis, you might easily be slower to unmask. Our black students who really never fully/effectively masked during the pandemic were unmasked today however.[/quote]

"Slower to unmask" - so much slower, in fact, that masks will be required again before they do unmask, because of all the transmission among those who really needed a month-long mask break. [/quote]

Your mask does not make you a better person.  Enough with the virtue signaling- I respect your choice, you respect mine.[/quote]

But ya  don't - you accuse people of masking their children as being child abusers and cherry-pick pieces of studies or omicron-focused stats - and discourage vaccination. You have no virtue to signal. [/quote]

I see the people who are allowing their kid to unmask to be more cognizant of 1) the protective aspects of the vaccine, and 2) the low risk to kids to begin with.  So the people wanting mask choice have all vaccinated their kids, and are not anti-vaxxers.  I think there are some that have read the recent study that the 5-11 vaccine did little in terms of reducing transmission, and that has impacted their thinking about whether it should be required or used as a metric in deciding when schools should unmask.

PP, I think you might be thinking of people that are largely not in DC.[/quote]

My kids have had the vaccine (5-11). We are still masking and will be for at least the next couple of weeks.  Husband and I are highly educated and we understand the science.  We chose to continue masking.  I don’t particularly care what your kids do.  It’s extremely hard to judge why others are still masking or not masking. [/quote]

I was responding to the PP who was suggesting that parents of kids who believe in mask choice are also discouraging vaccination.  I don't think that's accurate.[/quote]
