WASHINGTON — Educators should continue to resist Republican governors who have tried to ban mask mandates in schools, President Biden said in a White House address on Wednesday.
Without naming the governors, Biden said they were “setting a dangerous tone” by igniting what many public health officials see as a needless and harmful culture war. He specifically referred to a school board meeting in Williamson County, Tenn., at which raucous anti-mask protestersSuperintendent Jim Rigg dances with students wearing masks on the first day in school at St. Lawrence Catholic School in North Miami Beach, Fla., on Wednesday.
Nowhere have those debates been more ferocious than in school districts that want both children and adults to wear masks, in opposition to Republican governors who say that masking is a choice, and that educators have no right to make wearing them mandatory. In both Texas and Florida, which have, large school districts have defiantly imposed such mandates as schools begin to open.
Educators should get vaccinated to safeguard themselves and TRY to teach kids how to do math. STFU about everything else. They aren't your kids, they belong to other people.
Nobody is stopping anyone from wearing a mask in school or anywhere else. I wore one is Costco today not because they mandated it because they asked nicely… same with the little store I grocery shop in.
