A fed up Georgia mother recently took her local school board to task and demanded it end mask mandates for children.
"Every month, I come here and I hear the same thing: social, emotional health. If you truly mean that, you would end the mask requirement tonight. Tonight. This is not March 2020 anymore. We have three vaccines, every adult in the state of Georgia that wants that vaccine is eligible to get it right now and every one of us knows that young children are not affected by this virus. They're not and that's a blessing," she said. "But as the adults, what have we done with that blessing? We've shoved it to the side and we've said, 'We don't care. You're still going to wear a mask on your face every day. Five and six year olds. You still can't play together on the playground like normal children. Seven and eight year olds. We don't care. We're still going to force you to carry a burden that was never yours to carry.' Shame on us!"
