The U.S. Department of Education has launched a civil rights investigation into five states where Republican governors have made it illegal for school districts to require students to wear masks.

When kids go through chemotherapy they’re told to wear masks in public. Would these parents protest that too? It’s for the good of their own kid. Geesh

[musestudio]

They're killing their own kids for no other reason than their arrogance and loyalty to a sociopath who got fired.

I can't believe all those parents were saying no more masks when all the kids are getting sick and going to the hospital

Turn off your tv and Covid goes away. And everybody is dying of Covid except for the news anchors 😂😂😂

(Most) masks don't work. They thought they did in the beginning but the spread is through aerosol particles. Cloth does not stop that. Have an open discussion about what we can do, not force obedience from a flawed theory. This whole thing is new and the "experts" don't know or agree so we need to be fluid about how we view this and look at all the OTHER science that shows different

Republican logic: “Saves all unborn
Also Republican logic concerning Covid protocols: “My children are in Gods hands.”

I believe adults need to go back to school to learn life skills

*Study:* "Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in INCREASED RISK OF INFECTION."

600k dead in the US I think from covid. 400 of those are kids. Would really like to know how many of those had a preexisting conditions. We will never know sadly. A mask mandate is stupid, at least at this point. If you want your kid to wear a mask, you think that it helps, have them do that. Don't yell at others for not wanting to be a tad bit safer.

The mask is the lesser of the two evils. I don't understand what the problem is.

[somewheretexas]

If mask work ? your kid who is wearing a mask will be fine

[SerendipitousProvidence]

An anti-masker should be viewed as a convicted pdf file out on the loose. Don't allow both of 'em around children.

[ellas]

If the department of education worried more about curriculum and teachers teaching usable subject matter we'd all be in a better place.

[doanhdoanhful]

What's wrong with these parents?? Only think for their own benefits, personal freedom without thinking about the health of children.

[patricktam]

I think the simplest solution is to have two separate cohorts, those who have the parents who want their kids to wear masks with a teacher who wants to, and those that don’t … don’t. This would also allow for a true scientific test to see what really worked and didn’t.

[fillmyzipo]

Leave the children home they are getting wrecked

[corky]

I just don't understand why parents who would normally do anything they can to protect their kids want to play Russian roulette with the lives of their kids by angrily complaining and protesting about masks in school.

[mrsossie]

Some parents, especially in the U.S are simply shocking. Putting their kids in danger like they're doing. You never see this anywhere else. Maybe the kids need to take over and tell their parents what's right and what's wrong.

I don’t care, if it gets even worst from here. All schools SHOULD close and go virtual.
