The rise in Covid-19 cases driven by the Delta variant is prompting school districts across the country to consider changing their face-mask requirements, in an effort to stick to their plans to bring back students for in-person learning this fall.
With just weeks until the first day of school, debates are raging over a matter that seemed settled earlier this summer—whether to require face masks, or ban such requirements. Districts, however, aren’t considering a return to remote learning.
Several big city districts, including in Chicago, Atlanta and New Orleans, said last week they will require masks when schools reopen for in-person learning.
Atlanta Public Schools, where students return on Aug. 5, said on Thursday it had decided to mandate masks indoors, due to a low vaccination rate and the rapid spread of the Delta variant. Just 18% of eligible students are fully vaccinated, and about 58% of employees are or plan to be fully vaccinated, the district said, citing data from the Fulton County Board of Health.
The district said its decision was also influenced by recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which earlier this month said that anyone over the age of 2 should wear a mask in school, regardless of vaccination status, because large groups of students aren’t yet eligible for vaccines. No vaccines have been approved for children under the age of 12.
Another Democrat political ploy to scare citizens. The Democrats, Fauci and BIG PHARMA were / is losing ground on their propaganda lies and now using this new outbreak [ supposedly to get more money and control of the citizens.
This came shortly after the government stated the illegals that they were transferring under the cove of darkness by the military all over the US has covid-19. Is that a surprise to anyone? Who believes it is just coincidental?
And so it begins. Deja-Vu all over again!!
We haven’t done enough to the students in the last two years mask them again so that they can breathe more carbon monoxide, the long term effects of the mask will be with us for decades keep on drinking the Dems Kool-Aide. When you exhale and then breathe it in that is what you get airheads.
Kids will have to wear Goggles too since you can get covid through your eyes !!!!!!!
