The parents and students need to hold mask burning rallies in front of the schools in the mornings. Then stage walk outs, sit ins, and massive mask refusals.

There’s no such thing as state legislatures anymore. Unelected bureaucrats and Governors drunk on power are calling the shots.

The Republicans who wouldn’t let Trump install his own chair of the PA GOP State Committee in 2020 are in charge of my state’s legislature. No wonder.

If masks work why are we still having to use them after one and a half years?

Obey Wolf and his band of political freaks at your own peril

Pace of COVID-19 cases may be slowing down in Pennsylvania

Methinks Tommie the Commie has miscalculated his political capital. This battle is easily won by the right. Democrats have self-destructed and they are so hideously stupid that they do not know it. Get in their faces. Ridicule. Abuse. Make them shut up and go away.

We are the majority. Act like it.

‘The parents and students need to hold mask burning rallies in front of the schools in the mornings’

if you think that the typical parents are going to swim against the current zeitgeist, you need to think again...

the government can do nothing without the citizenry permitting them to do so, and parents, particularly mothers, have granted carte blanche for it to practice dictatorship upon their offspring...

covid fascism is our own damn fault...

‘Get in their faces. Ridicule. Abuse. Make them shut up and go away.’

are you going to get in the faces of parents who are making decisions for their own children...? they are the ones who enable Wolf et al to act like the tinhorn despots they are...

very few parents have the balls to stand up against covid crap, and very few people have the rudeness to tell parents they are harming their children with their actions...

the truth is one thing; how people perceive that truth is quite another...

I guess all those heated arguments about masking at your local PA school board were all for nothing. Gov. Tommy has banged the table once again.

I was speaking getting in the face of government. As for parents pushing this crap too, well get in their faces as well.

Statistics from Pennsylvania Department of Health website. Number of cases 0-9: 55,990. Number of cases 10-19: 140,900. Total 0-19 cases: 196,890. Number of deaths 0-9: Not listed, assume 0. Number of deaths 10-19: 17. Total deaths 0-19: 17. Mortality rate 0-19: 0.0086%.

Full disclosure, I am a vaccinated individual who recognizes vaccinating and masking up children makes absolutely 0 sense.

Masks, as with lockdowns and "distancing", do nothing at all to slow/stop/prevent/protect against (your choice) transmission of a respiratory virus ... any respiratory virus. Any medical professional who says masks work has damaged severely their credibility to dispense medical advice ... that is, they're lying to you.
