Governor Walz (Minnesota) ended the mask mandate on Thursday, May 13, 2021.  I am writing this petition on Friday, May 14, 2021.  I had to wear a mask at school today.  Why? 

Since there is not a mask mandate anymore, we should be able to walk into the school mask free.  And yet I was told to wear my mask.  Plus, let's get real.  When you go out in public, is everybody wearing their masks nowadays?  No, actually most people are not wearing masks at all.  I went to Dollar General today to buy my friend some birthday gifts, and there were only about 2-3 people there actually wearing masks.  And one of them had it below their nose!  So why do we get into trouble if we don't wear our masks at school?

I am tired of having to wear a mask.  In fact I believe everybody is just done with wearing masks.  We've had to wear them for about a year now!  It's time to stand up and make a change.  Please, sign this petition if you want to help us students out.  It is about time that we can stop wearing masks, Covid-19 is pretty much over with, and I am tired of not being able to see people's wonderful smiles.  Join me in taking a stand.  We need our freedom from masks!
