The time to end mandatory mask wearing in schools has long since passed.  Scientific studies have proven that masks provide virtually NO protection for either the wearers, or those around them, ESPECIALLY with children.  Likewise, Scientific studies also have proven the many harmful Psychological, Physical and Sociological effects of wearing them.  This school mask mandate constitutes State-Sponsored CHILD ABUSE!!!  UNMASK OUR CHILDREN NOW!!!
