The Holmen School Board was given an earful about its mask wearing and quarantine policy at its Monday meeting. A number of parents objected to the districtâs across-the-board mask wearing requirement.
Claiming the young arenât as affected by COVID-19 as adults, Holmen resident Tony Szak referred to the districtâs policy regarding mask wearing as bogus.
âOur children are brainwashed by this cloth we wear,â said Szak. âWhereâs the common sense here forcing kids to wear masks that do nothing? If they did do something, why quarantine kids for 14 days just because of exposure?â
Other parents giving input at the meeting agreed they should be allowed to decide whether their children should wear masks or not.
