I admit, I was just flabbergasted when I read the comments of various Washington State students and parents, regarding the possible end to state-mandated wearing of face coverings in schools.  Since the fall of 2020, when some schools went back to in-person instruction, the State has mandated that all students, staff, and teachers wear face coverings while in school buildings.  The Teachers Unions have been particularly adamant about mask mandates, in spite of the SCIENCE indicating that they are not at any higher risk, and the fact that teachers were among the first groups eligible to be vaccinated in early 2021.  They still quake in their boots and swear that their own students are putting everyone at risk if they do not wear masks in school.

But some of these comments just indicate that the State mandates and statistics have had their desired effect.  The press and Health Nazis have instilled abject fear in a significant slice of the population, of a virus with a 99.9% recovery rate.  Here’s what some have to say about the Superintendent of Public Instruction’s call for the end of mandated mask-wearing in public schools.

Students like Kamiak High School Junior Esaw Adhana are making it clear they don’t want masks to be taken out of schools any time soon, as Reykdal recommended to the governor’s office Wednesday.

“My goal is not for masks to be the new norm,” Adhana said. “No one likes to wear masks 24/7. Eventually, but just not yet.”

……..

But, parents are voicing concerns.

“If we do, you know, remove the mask mandate, are the numbers going to go straight back up again?” said Julie Dennis, a Shoreline School District parent.
