HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Masks will be required in all Pennsylvania K-12 schools, Gov. Tom Wolf was set to announce Tuesday, reversing course amid a statewide COVID-19 resurgence that is filling hospital beds just as students return to class.

The Department of Health order will take effect Tuesday, Sept. 7 — the day after Labor Day — and will require students, teachers and staff to wear masks when inside, according to two people briefed on the plan. The people were not authorized to release details ahead of an official announcement and spoke on condition of anonymity.

It’s all about teaching COMPLIANCE….
...not “following the science”:

Masks are:

1) a sign of submission, subversion and subjugation
2) mandated in order to dehumanize
3) virtue signaling devices
4) meant to provide constant reinforcement of fear
5) used to destroy community, friends and family normal communication
6) implemented to create isolation, confusion, anxiety, destroy human connectivity, trust and interactions
7) mandated to exacerbate illness
8) intended to aid in the abandonment of the belief and reliance on our immune systems
9) intended to refute integrous science
10) signal to positions of power that you are willing to give up all of your rights and freedoms based on anything they say, even if it is a BIG FAT LIE!

My wife works in an elementary school. You know how long a 7 year old keeps a mask on? You can hold your breath longer than that.

Mr Wolf still loving his power.

Pennsylvania had a vote that stripped Wolfe of those those powers.

[lightman]

But Ginger Goebbles aka Raggedy Jen said that her child loves wearing a mask!

“Pennsylvania had a vote that stripped Wolfe of those those powers.”

That was just of business closures.

Masks were through the Department of Health; and in the case of schools, through the Department of Education.

A child can decide whether “it” is a boy, or a girl.
Or if he/she is going to have an abortion.
But they MUST wear the mask?
WTF??

“Pennsylvania’s two statewide teachers unions had urged K-12 schools to require masks in school buildings, citing delta’s threat.”

And that, and that alone, is why this is happening.

PA is a cess pool

Under what power?

[EEGator]

Most of PA is fine.
It’s Philly, the Burgh, Allentown, Harrisburg, and Reading.

[mewzilla]

Hospitalized with, not for.

And no info on hospital or ventilator utilization rates.

Go figure.

Anyway, that’s just the excuse.

Using a disposable facemask to protect against an airborne respiratory virus is like using chicken wire to keep out mosquitos.

And they know it.

[HamiltonJay]

Nope, the state GOP is useless:

The GOP has controlled the state senate since 1994.

It has controlled the house since 1995 with exception of a 4 year period of 2007-2010.

Yet you would never know it.

PA is a cess pool.

What a coincidence. Can’t wait for the “surge” next spring/summer, in time for the 2022 elections.

The Covid epidemic has devolved into a politicized blame-game (actually it was that right from the start), and I think that explains why so many governmental entities are imposing these mandates that are of dubious benefit.

It's CYA time, and as long as the CDC keeps recommending these dubious (dubious based on much of the science) safeguards, Democrat politicians will keep imposing the mandates. The media are all on board, and woe to anyone who breaks ranks. You'll be called a "murderer" or a conspiracy theorist.

Wolf now working on murdering kids. Old folks were not enough.

[kvanbrunt2]

Needs a lawsuit as there is no emergency.

[EEGator]

Wolf was stripped of his emergency powers.
Someone should sue him.
