School board meetings heat up across country over mask mandates

A recent CBS News poll found that just around 6 percent of parents are against mask mandates, but those who are against them are often the loudest voices in the room, Correspondent Meg Oliver attended a contentious school board meeting in Wayne, N.J., to see how they are becoming flashpoints for parents frustrated with COVID guidelines, and with each other.

​@@FleurPillager Masks, if worn properly (which can be done with proper education), greatly reduce the spread of COVID. Kids can, do and are getting and spreading COVID. While small, the rate of child hospitalizations and deaths is increasing (see Texas). If you live in an area with low vaccination rates for adults/school workers, and a high case rate... masks should 100% be required for kids. High school especially. The mistake was keeping kids out of school. THAT was the detriment to their well being. Masks are about as annoying and impactful as a school uniform. Sucks, there are some downsides, but it is NOT some blight on their existence.

It's not a new conspiracy to take away freedoms -- this is something that even older republican leaders acknowledged would curve the dangers of a pandemic. In any case, freedom cannot exist without responsibility. It's the government that entrusts us with and protect the freedoms we benefit so much from.

I teach 1st grade and these parents are so out of touch with reality and entitled. The mother who said children do not wear them properly and implied that children are so bothered by masks is incredibly off base. In my experience as a teacher, my 6 year old students do great properly wearing their masks and don't complain about them (it's the adults doing all the complaining). Sure, children may not properly wear their masks for their parents (clearly if she assumes children don't wear masks properly), but I promise with structure and high expectations at school, they are fine! Children are so much more resilient than a lot of their parents.

[@ztodd]

Children adapt easily. They are humble. They accept whatever they are taught. So the question is, are they being taught what is best for them? Have you considered that making them wear masks might actually be making some of them sicker?

[@FromHeadToPumps]

@@ztodd LOL are you serious? I'll pretend that you're actually really that ignorant and answer your question - no, masks are not making them sicker. They are learning a valuable lesson about caring for others and working together as a team for a common goal. They are doing what needs to be done to stay in person. They desperately need to be in school and the reason we haven't shut down is because my school has a strict mask requirement that is enforced. They are incredibly behind from having to be virtual for over a year. I will happily teach in a mask for 8 hours everyday to do my part in keeping them in school. They want to be in school and don't complain about wearing masks! It's the parents who complain and set a bad example for the children!

They are chanting “my body my choice”, but shouldn’t they leave it to the kids to decide, since this is their school life? My kids’ school has been operating normally throughout the pandemic because they implemented strict measures on masks, social distancing, and testing, etc. Thanks to everyone’s collective effort, all the kids in the school didn’t miss a single day’s learning. Not one single parent pulled any nonsense like this, most importantly, all those 1000+kids ranging from 3yo to 12th grade did absolutely fine with masks. It does take some getting used to, but the no one ever gave up going to school because they had to wear masks! Being ignorant is not your fault, but passing that ignorance to the next generation is a crime!
