More than twice as many Americans say students and staff should be required to wear masks in schools as say they shouldn’t, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.

More than twice as many Americans say students and staff should be required to wear masks in schools as say they shouldn’t, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll — and they oppose Republican efforts to prevent local school districts from requiring masks by a similar 2-1 margin.

The reason why prohibiting mask requirements in school is so unpopular is simple: As kids under the age of 18 head back to class, nearly two-thirds of their parents are either “very” or “somewhat” worried about them catching and spreading COVID-19. It’s no surprise, then, that about 6 in 10 parents also say that students and staff should be required to wear masks at school while Delta is surging and that they will tell their own children to wear a mask at school, regardless of whether masks are required .Students entering Miami's St. Lawrence Catholic School on Wednesday, the first day of school. works best if everyone is doing it

Republicans, meanwhile, are the only group that takes the opposite view on each of these questions, with about half saying they oppose school mask requirements , agree with bans on them and, if they are parents, will not tell their kids to cover their faces in class .

It’s to save their life Forget politics do it to save your own damn lives we live under a great number of hygiene mandates. Why people flip out over a mask is beyond me.
