We want the Henderson County Board of Education to stop the mandatory MASK mandate against the children of our schools. The children of this county are the least likely group to get Covid, Not to mention our county has had zero deaths in children and zero children hospitalized through all of this. The kids are begging the schools to stop with the masks and the parents are as well. The board will not listen because they are doing whatever the Health department tells them too. These children are coming home everyday with nasty wet masks and breathing in so much bacteria. We want the mask mandates for the children of Henderson county to end. We the People of WNC are asking you to sign our petition to put an end to this ridiculous mandate. Give us the choice as their parents how best to keep them safe. Make the Masks optional.
