Maskless Marauders, Suffer the Children Dept. 0
Julie Heller spent some time with school children to determine their feelings about wearing masks in school. She found that they did not consider themselves to be abused, despite what some parents might be thinking–and saying. She quotes one little girl as replying, when asked how she feels about wearing a mask, “Doesn’t matter,” she said, “as long as we get to go to school.”
So she wonders about the source of parents’ anxiety. Here a little bit (emphasis added):
So where’s all this added anxiety and stress parents claim kids are feeling from wearing masks?
Maybe, just maybe it’s the parents who are feeling this. Maybe they’re watching their kids get on the school bus with covered faces and it reminds them their kids aren’t having the “normal” childhood they had mask-free. . . .
But, logically, it makes no sense to care about your kids more than anything in the world while also pushing to send them into a microscopic war zone without protective gear.
