Thank you for teaching us students that our own mental health is much less important than making triple-vaccinated adults feel safe.
Thank you for teaching me that even the most minute risk is not worth taking, life is best when you take the path of least resistance with no chance of failure, and definitely no chance of catching a cold.
Thank you for not reaching out to the students and asking how we feel about masks because if you did, the majority of students would say that they hate masks and then you might second guess your decision to make us wear them.
Thank you for allowing me to experience the anxiety associated with never seeing facial expressions.
Thank you for teaching us that we should never question authority, or think critically, but instead we should follow whatever the people in charge tell us to do. Obedience is best.
I realize now that thinking for yourself is overrated and not really necessary when you can just make decisions based on fear.
Thank you for pushing your irrational fears and anxieties on me, because I didn’t already have enough to worry about. I realize now how easy I had it when I only had to worry about my classes, my grades, my SAT and getting into college.
Thank you for teaching me that being a morally superior person only requires that I cover my face for 8 hours a day, and that the most morally superior people wear two masks, or even three masks.
As you know states around us, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota, which have two and half times more students than Illinois, don’t force kids to wear masks. I’m with you though, these states are out of control, recklessly putting kids at risk of misery and death every day. Masks work, even if these states have the same outcomes as Illinois.
Speaking of data, thank you for staying silent about masking despite the fact that Covid has a very high survival rate in kids my age. Who needs data anyway, though. We all know it will never be safe to see anyone’s face ever again.
