As more children go back to school, the fight over mask mandates continues, setting the stage for a combative back-to-school season in many of the communities facing higher rates of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

• A school district in Arizona imposed a rule that says employees cannot discuss vaccination status or masks with students, according to the Associated Press.

Several instances of physical aggression and many examples of protests and angry school board meetings over mask mandates have been reported in different parts of the country. About 8 million children who are at least 12 years old have been fully vaccinated, as of Aug. 11. That makes up 42% of 16 and 17 year-olds and 31% of children between the ages of 12 and 15. Vaccination rates among these teens are rising, as the AAP said roughly 587,000 teens have received their first dose over the last week.
