New Mexico group to protest school mask guidelines
View Comments
LAS CRUCES - New Mexico Freedoms Alliance will be holding statewide protests against mask-wearing requirements in schools on Saturday.
The group has been rallying to push the state to remove all requirements for mask-wearing and allow parents and students to decide whether they want to wear a mask.
Last year, the New Mexico Public Education Department required all to mask up on school grounds to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. This year, the requirements are … well … a bit complicated and largely in flux.
On Monday, the PED issued a more relaxed mask-wearing policy, stating individuals in secondary schools do not need to wear masks if fully vaccinated. All students and staff in primary schools are still required to wear masks. Masks will not be required outside for anyone.
