Professors can be vaccinated and double boosted if they choose to be. Students don’t need to make to keep them safe.
Professors cannot work if they get sick with covid. Vaccines help with symptoms not transmission so you need a new talking point.

But these "my kid shouldn't have to mask to protect professors" posters will be the first ones to squawk when a prof is out sick or isolating and not able to be in class with their precious unmasked kids. They'll also be the first to complain that their kid can't hear a masked professor through the prof's own mask, etc. etc. Anything to try to force the world to look like they want it to look. And zero understanding of how the vaccines work, how the virus mutates and spreads, plus zero compassion for even the idea that their own masking might protect someone else. It's an all-about-me world for them.
Our DC's small college has done incredibly well re: covid through requiring vaccines, boosters and masking as appropriate, changing up the mask rules in responses to surges and variants. The students get that they can only manage a "normal" college life if they accept some restrictions and mask up. It's been stressful--but DC hasn't missed any school at all other than the initial weeks in March-May 2020 when most colleges sent kids home. The students would rather be AT college, attending classes and events in person, with masking as needed and other protocols, than risk having to shut down or take classes online while sitting in their dorm rooms like some colleges did.
Guess what ... plenty of schools in other parts of the country did none/very little of that, and stayed open and didn't close. It's a false dilemma to say "you must vax and mask or the school will close." Schools closed for political reasons, not because covid rates forced them to close. That's why I would be mad about the new mask requirement in California, because it shows that they are STILL relying on talismans instead of prioritizing staying fully and normally open.

If your kid started in 2020 like mine, they will gladly wear a mask to be on campus and actually able to go to class. No one likes it, but if it reduces spread and keeps the school open, responsible kids will do it.

Most kids reject being forced into it.

+1. These people are all supposed to be vaccinated. It's not the responsibility of other people to keep them "save."
This seems the perfect post to report/ announce/ brag that DC is not returning to UCLA this fall, and instead is heading to Texas and Rice. DC found that CA really is the land of fruits and nuts, as things like this prove.
So your DC can go to Texas and overwhelm the medical system there. Good for you

Does that mean CA colleges will be eliminating the vaccine mandates? Yay!
No because CA college are smart enough to realize that vaccines help reduce symptoms and the severity of symptoms and help keep people out of hospitals, thus keeping our medical facilities available for people with other medical issues.

NP. Congrats on the brag. Thanks for freeing up a slot at UCLA for some other student who will be glad to be there. Hope your DC finds a job in Texas and stays there permanently. Maybe you'd consider moving there yourself, too.

Go away.
DP. No - you go away. The PP is absolutely correct. Vax up and wear a mask *if you choose.*
