Remove the mandatory masks from children in Newfoundland and Labrador

The Issue

Mandatory masks after tons of new information has come out publicly and can no longer be denied we're in a position where mandatory masks have been made optional as they should have been from the very start.

 

Now that the politics have gotten out of the way, I feel like many people are under their own set of misinformation they've gathered over the last two years to implement policies and decisions that are based on no real facts but only to signal their virtuous intent. One such organization would absolutely be our schooling systems across Canada. The least vulnerable group to this illness and the ones that would be least likely to suffer any serious outcomes and the ones least likely to fully Implement these rules(They're kids) are being abused and forced to cover their faces for no other reason than some marginal feeling of safety for whoever wants this to continue. Children will be eating without their masks, they'll be playing outside with their masks and they will be interacting with each other in other facilities and venues without a mask, if they all choose to do so. So, I see no real benefit in the school feeling like it's virtuous by implementing 6 hours a day where they're supposed to be strengthening their social interactions and not being taught to be afraid of other children. It's a moot action. Not to mention the damage that's being done to their education and all the children that are struggling to keep up. The damages and harm to children far away the benefits that the school is assuming to gain.

 

It's time we demand that our Educators actually use information and science to make their decisions. Not public sampling, emotion and irrational decisions! At this point we need to stand up against child abuse!
