Why this petition matters

Started by Kelly Hikeyl

Surveys say 88% of people wear masks 100% of the time in public, while the government says cases are “raging” through the country the stats show us that Covid is lower than ever (also as if the day this was made, Omaha NE Douglas county has 0 cases of influenza ... in February? Seriously, we believe this?!) 

More Americans have been vaccinated now than have contracted COVID-19, per medscape and NYT (https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/02/04/world/covid-19-coronavirus 

Governor Reynolds has loosened restrictions and our children are miserable. Make masks optional at school! Let them breathe! Remove the recess mandate! It’s absurd to require masks outdoors - and let them PLAY WITH THEIR FRIENDS! They’re all hanging out outside of school so to separate them during the day is laughable at best. Let them end their school year with some normalcy. Let them enjoy school again!

no one is saying you can’t wear your mask if that is your choice and what you are comfortable with - we are just asking for the same respect to be afforded to those who are ready to live without the discomfort.
