Oklahoma Pediatric Hospitals are already bursting at the seams due to Winter viruses that masks, hand-washing, and social distancing helped prevent this past Winter. 

NOW, COVID-19 has hit and Oklahoma Pediatric Hospitals are having more and more children come in with COVID-19 on a daily basis. Children under 12 are unable to be vaccinated at this point, and a mask mandate is imperative to keep Children safe at school. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has even recommended universal masking in schools. 

If you aren’t familiar with SB 658, it prohibits school districts from mandating masks unless the government puts in place a state of emergency. Governor Stitt is irresponsible, and hasn’t done this- nor does he plan to do so at this time.

School districts will begin classes in the next few weeks, and without any kind of mandate our children will be extremely at risk. Please sign this petition to demand for the repeal of SB 658.
