Last week, the Commack School District on Long Island wanted to do the sane thing and make masks optional for children. The move is long overdue. The state COVID positivity rate is under 1 percent, and deaths and hospitalizations have dropped precipitously.
So why are kids, who should have never been masked in the first place, still forced to cover their faces? Why are kindergartners masked at recess outdoors, even after national virus guru Anthony Fauci said “the risk outdoors is very low”?
In New York, it turns out it’s because Gov. Cuomo says so.
Cuomo has been a disaster for New York’s kids throughout the pandemic. Last April, at the height of the crisis, during one of his slap-fights with Mayor Bill de Blasio, Cuomo swaggered and declared he was in charge of Gotham schools. Hizzoner had announced that schools would remain closed for the remainder of the school year. Cuomo seethed that the decision wasn’t up to de Blasio. Then, two weeks later, the governor confirmed schools would indeed stay closed. Way to show the mayor who is boss, Governor!

Masking will hopefully soon cease to be a story. There is a limit to how long people will allow politicians to make dumb decisions for their children. But the governor’s incompetence and flip-flopping, along with his total disregard for science and common sense this year, should be scrutinized through the next election. The mad bully governor is using children to flex his waning power. It’s time to stop letting him.

Take a knee, wear your mask.
“...national virus guru Anthony Fauci...”
Oxymoron.
I just got the weekly newspaper from my upstate NY hometown. In the sports section, it shows several pictures of a high school track meet with all of the runners competing in facemasks. I stand in awe of the stupidity of all of this mask nonsense.
State sanctioned child abuse.
Why the H E double hockey sticks has he even got any governor-ship power still? He sexually abused women, what? 9 of them have come forward now? And he sent sick people to nursing homes knowing that it would mean the end of the sick and elderly in the home- and it was, to the tune of 10-15 thousand, two of which were semi high profile- Janice Dean the weather machine’s inlaws-
How has he still got his job?
