Some Hamilton parents have criticized the board’s decision, saying the policy is “pointless” and “potentially unlawful.” HWDSB is home to some 50,000 students.
However, Dr. Armand Keating, clinician scientist and staff hematologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, pointed out that “the increasing frequency of cases of the more transmissible BA.2 variant lends further support for a more cautious approach.”Article content HWDSB declined to say how it plans to deal with students and teachers attending schools without masks.
Mask mandates are ending. It's time to move on. Be kind to each other at school today and always.
Lol. A majority of them are fine with it. But let’s focus on the minority whiners and create the idea there is a crisis.
And then there are parents who are “ up in arms “ that masks are no longer required. You will never please everyone.
Parents can infect their kids with COVID19 without showing symptoms
Ah, Fox News of the north at it again. A few uneducated ignorant parents are up in arms. Fixed your tweet for you.
The question is are your children vaccinated ? That should be parents first order of business . In No then why should parents be “up in arms” about kids wearing mask in school please-:)
Wow, amazing how a thing so simple as wearing or not wearing a mask can make anyone be up in arms. FirstWorldProblems
I am a parent and you do not speak for me. I want my children to be UNMASKED.
masks do massive damage
Only the really really stupid ones!
DougFordNation you had my vote this coming election but lost it as you can’t be trusted to follow t/science when it comes to wearing masks indoors. If I can’t trust you to preserve t/health of us all,I can’t trust you period.
good work
The province never ever said it was safe to not wear masks. The province just said fick it.
Each person/child choose whether you wear a mask or not. Government can't force you not to!
Parents up in arms in NB cause no masks go figure
It's not the law, so kids don't have to wear them.
They don’t make decisions to please parents. It isn’t a customer service industry. They make decisions in the best interest of their school communities.
Have the school boards explain to parents why COVID was still spreading with masks being worn? Have them show you the proof not us to show them the proof! 10's to 100's thousands of scientists have PROVEN the mask doesn't work. How much more PROOF is needed?
If you don't want your child to wear a mask then please feel free to enroll them in remote learning. MasksSaveLives
They are doing so to protect the kids and staff. If you don’t like it keep your kids at home. Doug Ford is jumping the gun to win a election.
The story said, 'Some Hamilton parents,'. Could you be more precise? How many? What percentage of all parents is some parents? With any regulation, there is always a certain number who oppose it. And ,maybe, rightly so. But your story implies widespread opposition.
And they should be up in arms. When your education system doesn’t follow the science you should fire the education system.
Do these parents actually think Covid is over? It’s far from it and we will see a new surge like no other. Also the number of cases counts are all wrong as they don’t include results(often wrong anyway) from the ‘rapid tests’
Face it...you're more worried your kids are gonna catch it and bring it home...because now you are inconvenienced by having to isolate....
WEAR the MASKS and force your own KIDS to wear the masks - YOUR CHOICE! Scientists told you MASKS protect you/others? They said GET the shots to protect YOURSELF & others! We got SHOT up! I AM SURE those 'same parents' are vaccinated! DECIDE FOR YOURSELF & your FAMILY!
Seems you can never please parents here in Nb parents !!!upset at no masks. Sucks to be a politician you are never right .
Kids aren’t that delicate. They can wear a mask.
Wrong. Parents up in arms over school boards who refuse to keep protective masking measures in place because Covid is airborne. This is infringing on their HumanRights and it’s a complete dereliction of duty. Fixed it for you. OntEd onpoli
Your story quotes a Dr from Princess Margaret's, a cancer expert. Not a Covid expert. Do better. Stay with Dr Moore.
Well thats dumb.
What are we teaching our kids?
Jesus, you really are an arm of the conservative government.
Kids are more in danger from regular flu viruses, this crap has gone on long enough, I give you pro-mask people a week before you feel like idiots and take your masks off too, probably less.
The depths of ignorance that is displayed on these social platforms seems absolutely limitless. Just look at the verbal diarrhea they spew. These idiots care only about themselves and not one lick about anyone around them.
Article cites parents saying this is “potentially unlawful”. You know what else is potentially unlawful? Govts that recklessly ignore experts in the name of self serving political interests that place our kids at risk of harm. The Charter enshrines the right to personal security.
They should be !! Kids don’t need to wear masks abs nor should the unions bud in they should bib out and mind there own darn business. There the problem abs if teachers don’t like there jobs find something else bunch of cry babies !!
I'm sure a few do. A few also want to cancel sex education in elementary schools too. That doesn't mean that the very vocal minority of parents should get to dictate school policies. As we learn to live with Covid, policies should be based on children's safety, not politics.
I bet that there are more parents across Ontario that are upset that other school boards didn't have the intestinal fortitude to do the right thing.
… correction, a minority with no concern for broader community care are up in arms. The real story is that there is ZERO epidemiological evidence supporting the removal of masks in elementary schools and THAT is what most parents are up in arms about disinformation COVID19
The US has been without a mask for over a year now! Quit the BS Ontario!
Not in real life, just on Twitter. Most of us are pleased and so are our kids.
The mask might prevent a funeral....but feel free after all we are born to die
The loud minority.
