School Mask Mandates

Ramona Unified reverses course on face masks
There's plenty of debate over whether or not students should be required to wear masks at school. Different people have different opinions and the legality of the issue is much more complicated than you'd think.

Texas Schools Find Loophole For Mask Mandate Ban: The Dress Code
Why all the fuss? If there's a chance that it can slow the spread of a disease which has killed hundreds of thousands, then just STFU and wear the damn mask!

Anti-Mask Subway Customer Screams "I WANT MY SANDWICH!"
This was way back last year when only 200K people had died. I'd be willing to bet that if Trump had shown better leadership and worn a mask that he would have won the election.

Keep your mask on Prank
Definitely staged, but funny. Notice how no one is defending the guy without a mask.

Questions Arise About COVID-19 Vaccines Amid High-Profile Breakthrough Cases
Worldwide deaths from COVID according to Google: 4.2M. But I'm sure there are plenty of people who still believe it's all a hoax and that masks are useless.

Pinellas County parents push for a mask mandate in schools
Responsible parents should not have to suffer because some parents are irresponsible morons!

It's better to err on the side of caution than to do something stupid! I wish people would just take whatever precautions are recommended by health authorities and stop whining about small inconveniences!

If seatbelt laws exist then it seems to me that mask mandates would be legal. Especially in public buildings like schools and the post office and the like. I'm not in favor of mask mandates, but if legality is the issue then I think the answer is obvious. Some say that parents should be able to decide, but that's not the case with seatbelts so why would it be the case with masks?

Deputies break up physical fights at Lee Schools HQ after mask mandate announcement
Better safe than sorry. There is no good reason not to wear a mask. It's such a minor inconvenience, I don't see why anyone is upset.
