Along the lines of control, see this Fox news article about masking kids, especially kids with disabilities:

Lady pushed back on the speech therapist, but it took a lot of doing.
Think of all the hearing disabled kids that will be and have been harmed by this.
I’ve got a dog in this hunt, I learned lip-reading before I began grade school, and to see little kids be mistreated by the mask mandates makes me want to go all wild Highlander on those sorry miscreants that mandated this cr@p.
not just lip-reading,..so many babies/toddlers haven’t learned the signals from others’ expressions - they seem more fearful as if they can’t interpret what an adult expects from them.
It’s cruel and criminal. Disgusting.
