Parents up in arms against Hamilton school board's plan to keep mask mandate in place

As students in Canada's most populous province return to mask-free classes after two years on Monday, oneschool board is facing backlash for defying the province's decision to drop masks, potentially setting the stage for a clash on a contentious pandemic issue.

"My kids will not be wearing masks and they will be told to have the school call me if the school tries to force them to wear a mask," said Alyssa Vankleek, a Hamilton parent. 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."Ontario

"They personally can't mandate it," said Miranda Butler, a Hamilton mother of two elementary school students. "It's an overreach, especially if they don't have public health backing them," she added, noting that her kids will continue to wear masks anyway.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

And when their child becomes sick it will be the schools fault. Maybe the parents should grow up and start being a adult

Always giving more attention to the vocal conservative minority. But then again you guys let fordnation video call you while driving and then publicized his very small shovel.

As they should if the government says so these cities, organizations etc. should not police our lives it’s not their job or right to interfere in the lives of private citizens and their risk aversion

Glad this school board made a more logical decision during a full blown pandemic....

DONT WEAR THEM

Can you say state-sponsored media?

School board should teach each other about how masks do little to nothing to protect and the harm from forcing kids to wear them has. They should be charged with abuse

Let’s see what happens a couple of weeks after the mask mandate has been lifted for schools. I wonder if the parents will keep flapping their lips once their children get it.

😂😂😂 2 violent Nationalists upset. You're a joke CP 24

Good News Announcement: mandates is over The Government has mention of all Ontarian to Remove the mask so we are free, it’s past midnight because masking has lifted, Also we don’t have to wear, government is setting us free and so we can go out anywhere we want Back to normal

I am looking for soem fu

How many? I want numbers.

This article should be titled 'Parents continue to push anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts on their children in an attempt to keep them 'healthy' '

Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Alex Jadad, physician, epidemiologist “ We must also ensure that those who are responsible for harmful outcome that could have been prevented are held to account” HamHealthSci McMasterU ONThealth UNHumanRights globeandmail

Yeah I think I’m done with following . The micro sensationalism with their reporting is irresponsible. I’ll be canceling them from our cable.

If you can't just report the actual news, what good are you? 'Unfollow!

HWDSB is one of the worst school boards in Ontario

All parents? Or just a handful of loud mouth misinformed parents?please try to be better than click bait.

Keep them on....they are trying to keep the kids safe and parents are upset? What kind of parents are they?

I suspect it’s a minority of parents. Most parents value their children too much to endanger them in any way.

Some Hamilton parents have criticized the board's decision, saying the policy is 'pointless'. ... so how many in a some? oh wait 2? i guess actually reporting real news is beyond you

School boards don't have the authority to decide on this. Whether you agree with what they are doing or not.

Maybe parents from other school boards. The boards that didn't have the guts to do the same!

Okay, now report on the parents upset about the abandonment of safety protocols. Stop legitimizing these people!

Better to be up in arms than sick and down in beds.

Nope! Parents are beyond proud of them and wish their kids went to a HWDSB school!!

Right, 'some' parents. Not quite the what your headline implies. Probably the few anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, anti everything except for what is deemed right by me group.

Simply untrue click bait headline. CdnMediaFailed MaskUp

2 parents....give me a break...your headline should say 2 and not sensalize

*some parents

This article quotes precisely one (1) parent who will send their child maskless - and this is the tweet? What legitimate interest is served by CP24 grossly misrepresenting its own article?

I dare say the minority of parents who are opposed to mask mandates have been duped by a clown into believing that COVID is over. Political calculus, of the sort practiced by at Ford Nation, is going to create victims out of more than a few. NeverVoteConservative

Small minority of anti vax parents who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves up in arms against Hamilton school board's plan to keep mask mandate. There fixed it for you.

wise choice.

is this article based on two parents interview?

As they should be. With the mandate lifted, the school board and schools cannot keep forcing kids to wear masks... hopefully parents know this. Free the children for the love of God.

This is poor journalism- to be expected from . Do better.

Someone should compare this community with other communities in Ontario to see if this makes a difference in hospitalizations and deaths.

“Up in arms?” Really? Why would anyone write such a stupid headline?

does this school board actually have the right to impose this. im pretty sure the kids can go mask free and nothing can happen.. they wont get fined

The minority of course.

Not sure where these up in arms parents? Walked my kids to two schools in Hamilton today. Every child was masked. Didn’t hear a complaint from parents. Even teenagers walking by themselves. Most kids get it. And they will save us all.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙄CP24 4 FORD

As a parent for HWDSB…I support the extension and wish it was longer.

Here is the other side….god bless democracy

Most parents I know are up in arms about the removal of mask mandates and are applauding HSB’s decision to keep them.

No they're not.

No we are not. As a parent of a HWDSB student we were glad the approach taken. Also my son wanted to wear it till April 1st. Be better CP24.

Not this parent.

People so bored they would be up in arms against anything.

Try this headline 'Thinking people up in arms about your Propaganda Misinformation Editorializing '.

'PARENTS APPLAUD SCHOOL BOARD FOR MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION TO KEEP CHILDREN AND SCHOOL COMMUNITY SAFE' I fixed it for you.

I just dropped off my kids and both teachers and kids are flocking to school with face diapers on. Parents should be ashamed for continuing to stop your children from breathing air and teacher should be leading them with no masks. As a teacher this is sick.

Conservative Pulse 24.

Whatever Conservative Party 24

Anti mask parents in HamOnt

I wrote a letter to the Board Chair thanking them for holding firm in this. I can’t imagine that I am in the minority here.

Are the parents referred to here really taking up arms (weapons)? I'd so, what weapons? Come on CP24, use your words appropriately.

Fake news

Those against masks had to follow the rules. Rules now say you don't have to wear them and the school doesn't have to follow the rules now? Really. Can't trust the science when it is convenient for you

If by 'up in arms' you mean raising our hands in celebration, then yes. Otherwise, it's nothing but a click-bait headline. Do better.

This is a minority of parents. What a terrible headline. You should be ashamed of yourselves CP24.

I am not up in arms. I welcomed it!!!

CORRECTION: Parents who don’t care about their children are up in arms

I am a parent and knowing that they’re keeping it for now makes me sleep good at night If a parent loves their child they won’t mind

I don’t like to wear mask because I can’t hold my breath because it’s making foggy out my glasses, I decide not to wear a mask and I decided not to because I’m protected, I’m safe and I’m healthy

Two dumb mothers vs. a hematologist. Great journalistic work…For the record, tomorrow is not “mask free” schools. Masks are OPTIONAL. Just stick to weather and traffic

Just read the article & couldn't help but wonder what the OntHumanRights & the UN has to say about this... Two parents were quoted in the article while the voice of 1000s of ppl w/disabilities or who are immunocompromised aren't heard here🤔 /1

Did you also check to see if parents of kids in private schools keeping mask requirements are up in arms?

We need to protect the environment against climate change as billions of masks are polluting our oceans at an alarming rate. Meanwhile all facts and data show kids are not affected by Covid, and Covid is over

They have a choice to pull their kids out of school then. This is about health and safety.

Click bait

What, like 3 parents? Janice, Karen, and Chad?

Well you can’t sue the Big Pharma Co because they knew these injections were NOT vaccines. To be used to destroy kids and adults healthy bodies. 4 injections on the elderly WHY. Will Lawyers have commercials to sue companies for years of severe complications from injections.

“Two parents representing 3 of the 50,000 children in the school board think masks are an overreach.” That’s the headline

As if. Part of Bell Media. Puhlease! onpoli onted

Parents are also up in arms with school boards that getting rid of masks. Please tell that story

I thought COVID got the memo that on March 21 it had to pack up and leave? Maybe BA.2 hasn’t got the message yet?

Feel sorry for their children...

As an Ottawa parent I’m “up in arms” that our school board is just rolling over and putting vulnerable people all over the city at risk.

Click bait.

It's all about Power & Control. Sadly, it Always was.

Why isn’t the YRDSB YRDSBDirector taking these steps to protect its staff and students?

Brought to by aka the fordnation cheerleading squad. Headlines should read: HWDSB parents relieved that board stands up to Ford! But no shocker on the proliferation of propaganda pouring from .

How many approve the plan? Once again the squeaky wheel gets the oil. That is why Ontario is dropping mandates tomorrow. 😡

Let’s change this tantalizing headline CP24 to reflect the fact that it’s a small number of lunatic rogue parents. Ok?

Um parents are thanking and congratulating the Hamilton school board for this decision. Why such negative spin?

This title should read: “Parents up in arms against lack of mandates to protect their child during a deadly and brain altering pandemic across the province of Ontario” What a croc. So disappointed in CP24. They should be reporting the majority of the populations thoughts…

This unattributed – and very wrong – legal opinion should have cued CP24 that this article is complete horseshit Basic journalistic standards?

Wow. Two whole parents that said they’re against it warrants a headline like that? Do better cp24, do better.

Funny how this headline doesn’t catch the responsible and practical parents who are thrilled with this news. It’s too early to drop airborne disease precautions. THIS IS NOT A DROPLET DISEASE and schools are ABSOLUTELY epicentres of spread.

1 parent cited in the article. CP24 with the misleading headline. “Framing” this story in a very disingenuous way. RW 🗑. Time for tighter regulation of 📺📻📰📱 big telcos, monopolies, foreign ownership 🍁

The same people who didn't trust the government to mandate masks now trust the government to no longer mandate masks. Ok. 😒

'Parents'? How many?

Not this parent! So grateful for HWDSB taking a stand.

It’s funny how some parents don’t want to be proactive and keep their children safe. Wear a mask. If that’s too hard for you or too much to ask, well then you need help.

😢

Smart move

Good for them…

Fund students/families directly. Enough with the outdated institutional bureaucracies.

they can simply stfu or let's also start bringing in food with nuts and let kids with chickenpoxs and lice come to school

Kids under 12 will always play together, touch one another during play, share toye’s etc. mandatory mask is an absolute scam, the school board is now a political branch of union nothing els. Why can someone tell the school board to shut up and teach? Just teach

Those parents must not care about their children then and wut they may bring home and spread around. Those parents hopefully dont outweigh the amount that are fine with it cuz if so thats scary. It's not completely over yet we gotta be careful for just a lil while longer

I agree I think after March break we can remove masks after a week or so anyways keeping on masks for 2 more weeks won’t hurt

Ask questions to us outside of the Ford government’s list of people you can poll. Not one person I knkw that has children attending schoole are mad about this.. quit the gaslighting for pitiful news outlet and seriously verify facts before posting lies

Understandable, Hamilton average IQ of 5…

Sure as hell wish our school board kept it in place for a little longer

CP24 really do love them some gossip. This news media if it doesn’t find the gossip. True to form Just Make It Up.

Every poll available suggests that parents and paediatrics are overwhelmingly in favour of a continuation of masking in schools until the science/data suggests otherwise. This headline is a lie in that it doesn’t represent the majority.

I wish our board would keep it in place

Why?

Those parents are truly sickening trying to mask their children.

Enough with 'it's my freedom and my right to choose not to wear a mask'. Selfish individuals. Move to Russia to find out what freedom is really about.

They are lucky their board care enough to keep masking!

please tell the neanderthals to jump in their trucks and go to Beltline AB, that is where their herd is meeting now!!

Bully's forcing kids to mask.

It’s medically sound

How do you get away with outright lies? Ontario is not dropping mask wearing from schools in fact they are strongly encouraging it. They are dropping MANDATED mask wearing. Your irresponsible attempt at journalism is going to cost people lives.

Extra precautions: Wonderful. It doesn't hurt ever when you are taking precautions to protect the community.

Nice headline. What all the other people cheering them on wishing their board would do the same. I am in that category.

Why is no info about freedom protest in toronto yesterday?

People are exhausting.

Shameful to use such a biased story from Alexander Schummer, Reuters. These past 2 years have shown me how little Cp24 journalists care to cover things in DETAIL or get both sides. They always go for the quick hit and miss the important points of any COVID story.

The Reuters' reporter, Alexander Schummer, certainly needs to go back and read Reuters' Standards & Values: What Makes a Reuters Journalist? At the very least he might benefit from learning how to be write succinct titles that convey more accuracy! Also who is vetting at CP24?

How can they do this ,,it’s not a private bussiness there for they have to follow laws and rules set by the goverment ,,you don’t just get to do what you want

I heard the other day they changed their mind on this and kids don't have to wear masks also. Is someone getting their info mixed?

Correction:. 'Before and After' care (ages 3+) inside schools are doing an extra week, transit an extra couple, some private schools until Easter. How snowflakey to complain about 10 extra days of just indoor masking after everyone returns from March Break

Seriously? Such a disappointing article. Do better!

How about 2 or just a few? No wonder people are mistrusting the media. It's headlines like this that are just click bait. Do better. Keep masks on... the decision was purely political by Ford and his followers.

ETFO President Karen Brown making this political -- when other provinces, and countries around the world are doing the exact same thing -- is grounds for resignation/dismissal. Nobody should know which way she votes, and, this isn't a partisan issue.

…then this school is associated with devil worshipers or rich pharmaceutical corporations …

Don't want your kid to have to wear a mask? There's always the option to have them learn remotely!

We know you quite well CP24. Somehow you always find the people who support a conservative stance to interview and promote. You are so predictable. This is not what journalism is about. Do better. Show some journalistic professionalism.

Funny but I have seen a LOT more positive responses than negatives. In fact, parents who have children in other Boards are envious of the wisdom being shown here.

Ha ha this “news” station flips and flops more than Dougie in a gym

Just change you name to CPC24 and get it over with. What bullish!t

Ford24!

Hamilton 😂🤡

Sick parents!

Great. Who are they? Children’s Aid can be called for causing unnecessary harm to their children!

*some* parents. Usually the dumb aggressive ones.

Well Hamilton IS the home of hate in Canada 😉

It’s no biggy, parents just need to complete an exemption form and voila!….they don’t need a mask. Political theatre…..nothing more.

Doubt it’s the majority, but headlines am I right?

How many 😹😹😹

I’m up in arms because the Ford government won’t let the board do a proper transition that benefits everyone. Want to write about that!?!

You may as well close up shop. This is such bad journalism, ie. 'As students in Canada's most populous province return to ''mask-free classes'' after two years on Monday,'. Lifting the mask mandate does not mean mask-free classes. Masks indoors is highly recommended. onted

Really?! Not what I'm hearing. Private schools can do what they want. Why does the media always support the minority's views? Btw it's only like 9 days until April 1. There is an option for those who don't want to wear masks. I follow the science and applaud HWDSB.

Gawd! It’s a public.funded instit. It’s requiring masks providingsafety for those feeling compromised. Since it’s public.funded u can’t be compelled to have yr kids wear one. Wise decision 4 Bd. it removes policing mask compliance from the classroom

This is ridiculous when kids (who choose) in schools in the rest of the province get to experience smiles between friends starting tomorrow.

This just reminds me again that no decision/policy is supported by everyone. Even the term 'common sense' is interpreted differently. I would stop questioning about anything.

Why give attention to the noisy minority that is anti-science?

People are just not happy. They take the masks away and they want the masks they keep the masks and they want them to be gone! I think people just wanna protest no matter what it is and it’s become quite annoying

Excellent idea! Thank you for putting kids first!

How dare they try to protect kids. The absolute nerve of these nazis.

clickbait a few StayStrongHWDSB Do better SafeSchoolsON MasksON 😷

Quoting two parents, Alyssa Vankleek and Amanda Butler out of a population of over 579,000 does not make 'parents up in arms' but it does make good click bait. CdnMediaFailed

What are the exact numbers ? Please be specific!! One or two or a small minority does not warrant everyone in the same category. Please don’t just throw blanket statements without data to support it.

Death is not the end of your life, it's simply a door to the eternal realm. GlobalSundayBread 죽음은 여러분의 삶의 끝이 아닙니다. 그것은 단지 영의 영역으로 들어가는 문일 뿐입니다.

The plan is unenforceable.

Why didn't the woman not just fill out that form? Sounds more like she wants to be oppositional for the sake of being oppositional. I wonder how many of the anti people have oppositional defiance disorders.

Help me understand. Mask exemption has always been permitted by filling out a simple form. I did it on the first day of school while dropping off my son because we forgot his favorite mask and they said he could enter the school if we filled out the form.

Define 'up in arms?' We are already polarized enough. Masks are the only protection students and staff have left, I am in full support of the decision to try and keep kids safe, I just wish the rest of the boards would do the same.

I'm fine with it and also agree with it.

Yes, I am up in arms...arms up overhead applauding the board for sticking up for the health & safety of students and staff

'Some' parents are upset but the majority are fine with it. Why feed the anti movements with these stories? Why not represent the majority who are fine with it? MSM like you continue to cause divisiveness.

If it's acrually parents and not the usual anti-government far-right wingers, they're ignorant idiots who probably shouldn't be breeding.

'My child was told by the provincial government it was safe to no longer wear a mask in most settings. The school board has no right to tell us otherwise,' she added. How much do you want to bet this twat called us all sheep for following the government mandates?

We are All you have to do is fill out a form online to be exempt. You could do it at any point during the pandemic.

TiMoudou 'Morons up in arms against Hamilton school board's plan to keep mask mandate in place' Also .. shut down your operation. JunkStation

Really? How many? And the parents of the vulnerable? We know you are campaigning for fordnation but try not to be so obvious.

Yup! These idiot-parents can't read science-based graphs! Would rather depend on dufus fordnation's CMOH, Ontario's medical malpractice role model!

How many parents are truly upset by this? How many are happy they some safety measures are being kept in place? I’m not sure this headline is at all representative of the situation. This is sensationalism, not journalism.

Ya the crazy selfish parents maybe.

HWDSB has a very generous mask exemption process (and has for the last two school years). These upset parents just need to fill in the paperwork and an exemption will be granted. Take the fake outrage elsewhere.

You can’t pull this shit, especially in Hamilton

How many Karens did you interview? The same Karen’s who will complain when they have to miss work when their children get ill?

Parents up in arms against Ontario Government's plan to remove mask mandate from schools.

how many parents? what about the ones who are happy about it?

“Selfish parent makes loud noises about minimal requirement to keep their own children and other members of their community safer during a global pandemic.”

I think you're lying, show some stats

No kidding lol

What parents?

Anti-maskers don't care about anyone but themselves so why do I give a rat's ass what they think?

As they should be

cse_cst ... why did we decide journalistic integrity isn't important?

*some Just like it has been all along. Some.

PC24 strikes again! Which one is more likely…parents “up in arms” that masking is continuing? Or parents “up in arms” that masking is ending? Note: Facebook as research doesn’t count

Some parents were also honking their horns couple of weeks ago so…

Do better. This is the only 'evidence' you cited in the article: '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.' Calling🐂💩

Great. Now interview the parents who want their kids to keep masks in school.

All children deserve an education but not all children can wear a mask to protect themselves. That means some are at home isolated with no education or therapy. Does she want to live in my shoes for a month? NonverbalAutism WearYourDamnMask 😷 VoteFordOut2022

Like 10ish% of parents ?

Good for Hamilton board

Parents can fill in a mask exemption form, it's right on the website, no reason to be up in arms unless you're mad that other people will be masking

How many ? 2 ? Only the idiots. My kid will be wearing a mask..without a mandate I wish all the boards did this...and followed the experts advice

Would they prefer online learning?

Some parents you just can't educate.

Idiots.

They’ve been ordered not to. Send your kids to school without a mask. Stop spreading fear and punishing children.

The 1 responsibility of parents is to keep their kids safe. Some parents are failing in their responsibilities.

It's their decision, and probably the right one considering a new strain is on the way.

Whatever idiot parents in Hamilton who don't think maintaining mask mandates is important deserve to give their heads a shake as to why they have kids in the first place.... FordFailedSchools VoteFordOut2022 cdnpoli

.HWDSB is demonstrating their value vs caving to verbal pressure from the MOE. If school boards don’t challenge ill-timed decisions & advocate for their students what is the point in having this extra layer of administration. Masks for 2-weeks after March Break just makes sense.

Quote from the article. 'SOME Hamilton parents have criticized the board's decision, saying the policy is 'pointless' and 'potentially unlawful.'' They quoted a couple people. So... minority.

Good idea to keep 😷

Perhaps those parents aren't fit to be parents.........

Same parents who couldn’t home school their kids for a few months.

enough with these masks

Stupid people have higher risk tolerance.

Why so scared of omricon, it’s milder then a cold, had it twice already! I saw a lady in no frills today wearing a hazmat suit! Government and media did a great job scaring ppl

'Some Hamilton parents have criticized the board's decision' from the article is not at all the same thing as 'parents up in arms' from your lying clickbait partisan fakenews tweet

HCDSB is requiring masking after travelling, isolated for a bit, etc. I’m sending my kids w/ masks so I can evaluate for a bit. A couple of extra weeks isn’t a big deal & if everything goes the way we r all hoping then masks will be gone sooner than later. Better safe than sorry.

As they should be. Send your kids without masks! Let them kick them out and see what happens.

Good for them!!

The only school board following the CMOH, who said during his last press conference that he himself would continue to mask in crowded indoor spaces. He may as well have given the exaggerated “wink wink” when he said you can make your own choice about wearing a mask.

Hamilton full of anti vaxxers

They just can't write an accurate headline. These guys are pathetic.

Obviously Sflecce put them up to this. FireLecce

Maybe they should divide two types of schools with mask mandate and without. The question is will there be enough teachers for both sections? Why do one part of the population gets a choice and the other don't? If there is a choice, everybody should have a real choice

Ah, the Hamilton School Board is getting to play out the Kobayashi Maru in real life.

I'd be so thankful after families have travel during the break and come in contact with who know who in remote places. Safety first I say...

Please quantify this headline with the statistics on the percentage of parents who are “up in arms” vs the number who are thankful or simply willing to comply for the safety of others.

The protest of the ill informed CovidIsNotOver LongCovidKids COVIDisAirborne

How many parents are in an uproar? I bet it's just a few. Report both sides.

Pure lies. Parents are up in arms because school boards refuse to protect their children from a deadly airborne virus. This board is made up of heroes. protectkids HumanRights onted

They should be

Take they're kids away from them.

I suspect many more, a majority, are up in arms about removing them right after March break. But we know CP24 to be a fordnation booster

a few conspiracy addled morons are up in arms but not really because they think masks are more dangerous than Covid but because their fetish is social unrest and domination and also they are in to eugenics, the 'let the weak die' philosophy

The mask mandates in schools are as stupid as locking up playgrounds in 2020. Mask/isolate the vulnerable. Leave the healthy majority alone.

It's follow 'The Science' until you don't agree with it.

This headline 🤦🏻‍♂️

Twitter has just turned into a liberal echo chamber haha there's only one opinion in the comments because all the real ppl have left. I'm done too, you liberals can tank this dump on your own. I'm going to FL.

It will come but THEY CAN STILL WEAR IT, darn it can you people stop Crying

What the hell is wrong with people! This is ridiculous!

the school board is playing politics

“Some parents”, or “a few parents”, or “a couple of nutbars posing at parents” would’ve been more accurate headlines.

The protest of the I’ll informed LongCovidKids CovidIsNotOver COVIDisAirborne

*some Parents up in arms Why do you distort like this, CP24

Ya they dont shower in hamilton, this is not surprising

Parents are stupid.

Really? How many parents are up in arm? I call bullshit

If parents send their kids to school tomorrow without masks then there ain’t shit the school board can do about it.

Imagine being up in arms about something as innocuous as some fabric on your child’s nose n mouth to protect them n others around them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 don’t kill me 💀

Kids shrug their shoulders at masks for the most part and are cool with the idea that it might be worth it even if it helps a few ppl. Some parents insist on politicizing masks and being douchebags. Sad.

It's the only way Hamilton knows to be. Govrn from one level to the next has caused yet again more division more confusion

Meanwhile, council has yet to release what’s happening with the overall city mandate. I emailed the city on Friday and was told that council hasn’t decided yet. Umm

This is selfish political posturing and a divisive move.

Throw temper tantrums like they do in the states.

U wanna wear it go ahead the rest of the world does not have to follow you because you said so. Sorry time to move on

So 'backlash' amounts to two parents who feel the Board has no right to mandate, with one of those two sending her kids with masks anyway. Looking for a story where there isn't one?

Let me fix that headline for you 'Some parents up in arms against Hamilton school board's plan to keep mask mandate in place' You're welcome

Homeschool them then. Keep them as stupid as their parents.

I bet bet it was a few anti-masker freedumb convoy parents too.

I’m wishing my kids school board made this logical decision. This is the worst time to remove them. Do it 2-3 weeks after March break if you have to do it at all.

How many parents exactly? Not sure why those opposed to masking etc seem to get so much press

Lol. Headline should read no matter what happens parents are up in arms....blah blah. Shut up

Public schools are literal prisons for children and the only time many people will ever encounter physical violence in their lives.

As a Hamilton parent I applaud the decisions of the HWDSB and would like to know what Sflecce is hiding in the Mandate Letter he refuses to release even after a court order.

sure until they close the school for 2 weeks and then its 'Parents up in arms against Hamilton school board's plan to remove mask mandates'

Those who are 'Up in arms' about this are clearly Jackasses. Plain and simple. Wash your hands, put on a mask, keep your distance. These things are not a big ask. This pandemic is not over. But it could be. If we had less jackasses.

So, these parents want their kids to get sick?!? Infect other vulnerable people, get long Covid?! 🤦‍♀️🤯🤯🤯

Fuck off, no more masks 🙏🏾

What parents?

Then keep your kids home , a two week cautionary period after March break makes sense for all

The kids are not. It’s the parents who don’t understand or want to understand how airborne transmission works.

Maybe write an article about the parents applauding their wanting to keep the staff and students safe!! At what point did we start catering to the people that have not done their part since day one and care only about themselves?!

It's either we listen to the teachers union or the government conglomerate. Why don't we let the parents and kids decide? Is this not common sense? Contact school Superintendents & school boards onpoli ontario Hamilton politics covid Masks HWDSB hwdsb Canada toronto

Why do the people who hate masks the most and claim they are useless also wear steel toe boots and safety vests to to dinner on a Saturday?

No I'm not.

'Entitled selfish breeders' up in arms against Hamilton school... Ftfy

They should be. Enough is enough with these tyrants.

Strange how we're not doing BOTH SIDES! on this. Only one side appears to matter here.

Correction 👉 “some parents”

You either gonna have parents up in arms for or against this mandate

Who?

Daycares are doing an extra week, transit an extra couple, some private schools until Easter. How snowflakey to complain about 10 extra days of just indoor masking after everyone returns from March Break

It's for an extra week, relax, same at my place of work.
