Maureen, God helps those who help themselves.
If people want this to end...
Stop complying.
It’s easy for those without teens or kids in school to just say “stop complying.” The kids and teens in school are at the mercy of the administration there, and kids don’t like to be ostracized and removed and suspended and expelled.
They don’t have the options adults do.
