Make it optional, kids need to breathe fresh air

San Antonio reported yesterday of 249 new cases! I’m not removing my this is insane!

It should not rolling down to the individual family choice when it is a national, international health crisis. We should have a unify national health response and not let random lawmakers such as Abbott or the the Mississippi Governor handle health crisis and abolish masks and open all policies. We don’t even have half the population vaccinated in Texas.

I graduated in the Austin area back in ‘19 man.. glad I got my school over with before covid happened

[dragonv]

move to ca if you want to be controlled by gov't all the time

[diannis]

This is horrible I disagree with the whole mask mandate the children can’t even breath well!

[tomwolf]

Is anyone at all talking about the consequences of the storm? No ? Well it’s mission accomplished then !!!

[BigBUCK]

Where does the school get the authority to dictate masks. Everyone wants to be a tyrannical dictator.

[rnery]

What's stopping them from wearing masks if they want? Can't the parents tell their own kids to wear masks if they're so worried? What am I missing?

[zzgeorgezdane]

Great time to defund and disband public school funding. Quit robbing property tax from home owners.

Wish we kept the 6ft apart rule. Don't need mofos breathing down my neck while im in line at the store.

Abbott's Texas opening, LETS SEE IF THE COVID-19 INFECTION RATE IN TEXAS SPIKES UP.

[lifesajoke]

Stop with this ish. If you think those kids aren't touching everything and then sticking their hands inside there masks, or rubbing their eyes all day, you haven't been around little kids. Those cloth masks are literally useless.

[StillLivinginthewoods]

Everyone who feels the need to wear a mask is still free to do so, so there is no problem here.

[Overload]

Its about damn time. The mask mandate should’ve ended well over half a year ago.

[nuclearcloud]

The restrictions will be back. All part of operation lockstep.

[Mrald]

If you are that scared of the virus then just stay no one is forcing you to not wear a mask. If you wanna walk around with your chin diaper everywhere you are welcome to do that too.

[Jarethenator]

That second lady is justifying the equivalent of unbuckling your harness on the rollercoaster because "oh I think the ride is almost over anyway"

[ruiferreira]

If a kid brings Covid home, just fill a civil lawsuits demanding compensation from the governor for reckless action. Not acting following the best scientific evidence available.

I live in Texas and thank you Gov. Abbott, finally someone with a pair!!
If the teachers don't want to go to work give them their pink slip and tell them good luck on their new job search.
