Can I ask why this is such a big deal for some parents?

I mean, if I had a kid, I'd want it wearing a mask to have less of a chance of bringing all those kid germs home. Some kids are sick all the time, and so are their parents.
I think it’s optional in Virginia, the parents were trying to get the Supreme Court to basically put forth an injunction to stop the governor, which the court doesn’t have the power to do. They can rule it unconstitutional after a lower court ruling but that’s not what happened lol

I don't want my kids breathing in the same dirty nasty mask all day. It's getting hard wired into them. I get home after picking them up and they keep it on b/c they don't think about it anymore. It's almost normal for them now. That's messed up. They aren't on an operating table, they are in class. If parents want their kids to wear a mask, so be it, let them have that choice. If parents have a mental breakdown b/c other kids don't have masks then let them stay home and home school them or do it on an iPad.

Nothing is going to stop anyone from getting COVID b/c people wearing masks are getting COVID.

On another note, a lot of parents I work with get real emotional when they talk about their kids having to wear masks over the course of the pandemic
Yep. Look at how schools are treating kids that don't wear them. In Loudoun you get fined 2500 dollars for trespassing, numerous other schools are kept outside, or in the cafeteria with zero instruction. It's honestly border line child abuse the treatment.

I see. I just googled "US Supreme Court Alabama" and that came up
Odd since I said Virginia Supreme Court

Then you have that idiot Stacy Abrahams sitting in a class without a mask while forcing kids to wear a mask around her...then deletes the photo when she realizes the optics are bad. :lol:

Sounds like Asians years after SARS-CoV-1 in 2002.

TBH, I'm kind of worried about conservative media these days. Biden has been a shitstorm, the country has tons of problems, and yet conservative media seems obsessed with "mask gotchas", an obsession with college women's swimming, every perceived smellable fart as they religiously hatewatch The View, and how Spotify is the only game in town for Joe Rogan.

We collectively need conservative media to call out the b.s where necessary. But it is so triggered into a perceived death match with cancel culture that it now seems to be on a death spiral of five-year-old playground taunts about nothing that actually matters. I look at the twitter feeds of Daily Wire or The Blaze or MRC, and they read like some incoherent recovering meth addict twitching in withdrawl who needs antidepressants.

Yes, CNN is a clown network. But it doesn't scream for therapy the way these outlets are crying for professional help. Get your acts together... this is too important to go on benders.

A recipe for developing weird allergies and immune system deficiencies when they grow up.

They aren't focusing on the real problems, playing into the whole left-right paradigm bullshit.

So... you're saying the masks actually work? That's not what I heard.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to expose your kids to these things. If anything it's good to build immunity against viruses like chickenpox at a young age as opposed to developing shingles later on in life, for example. That's just one of them

It isn't, but it's just funny how now all of sudden we're so worried about the health of kids and performing back flips on masks. Meanwhile, child obesity is a big problem (no pun intended), just like kids getting healthy meals at those same public schools.

"Son, take that goddamn mask off, ur gonna hurt ur immune system!"

*takes mask off*

I think it’s dumb for kids to have mask mandated. I think if kids get sick, then that’s the parents probably and if teachers get sick and can’t teach, then that’s the way it goes. We’ve been coddling people way too much during this pandemic.
