California plans to require masks for all students in the fall despite guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that says vaccinated students and teachers don’t need to wear them amid proper physical distancing.
State health officials said the requirement will allow for full-time in-person learning and for all students to be treated the same, whether they’re vaccinated or not.
Not all schools are able to accommodate three feet of social distancing as the CDC recommends, state Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said. The CDC's new guidance says that masks should be worn if social distancing can't be achieved.
"Masking is a simple and effective intervention that does not interfere with offering full in-person instruction," Ghaly said, according to FOX 11 in Los Angeles. "At the outset of the new year, students should be able to walk into school without worrying about whether they will feel different or singled out for being vaccinated or unvaccinated – treating all kids the same will support a calm and supportive school environment."

Now that’s helpful.
The Corrupticons just pulled a fast one and moved the recall date up to September 14.
Just in time for everyone to be PO’d about the mask mandate to go back to school.
Fear shamelessly rules in California. It’s an embarrassment.
I wonder if that includes the private schools that Commiefornia legislators send their kids to.
My wife manages purchasing for a medium size Northern California school district. Our district is losing hundreds of students every year — lots of people putting their kids into private schools, people fleeing California, and young people are not having kids.
The “social distancing” rules may be met with declining enrollment. Except in SoCal where the flood from Mexico will keep enrollment steady.
It would be very interesting to see the percentage of high government officials whose children were able to attend in-person school for more than a few months last year, whether it was in private school or a reasnable district. Then divide the statistics by Dem and R run places.
Anyone who masks his/her child is guilty of child abuse.
The JAMA issued a SPECIFIC diagnosis that says masks physically damage children — and are unnecessary for the kung flu.
A Group Of Parents Sent Their Kids’ Face Masks to A Lab for Analysis. Here’s What They Found
A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, concerned about potential harms from masks, submitted six face masks to a lab for analysis. The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. No viruses were detected on the masks, although the test is capable of detecting viruses.
The analysis detected the following 11 alarmingly dangerous pathogens on the masks:
• Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia)
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)
• Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis)
• Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis)
• Acinetobacter baumanni (pneumonia, blood stream infections, meningitis, UTIs— resistant to antibiotics)
• Escherichia coli (food poisoning)
• Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease)
• Corynebacterium diphtheriae (diphtheria)
• Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires’ disease)
• Staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 (severe infections—high morbidity rates)
• Staphylococcus aureus (meningitis, sepsis)
Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with one or more strains of meningitis-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. In addition, less dangerous pathogens were identified, including pathogens that can cause fever, ulcers, acne, yeast infections, strep throat, periodontal disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more.
“Masking is a simple and effective intervention”
The effectiveness of masks rapidly deteriorates over exposure time.
Masks are useful for 15-minute grocery store forays.
Wearing masks for full-time schooling is pretty pointless.
Florida is open for business & learning.
Restaurants here are packed with mask-free patrons.
I noticed just one person wearing a mask at Wal-Mart two days ago.
Vaccinations are readily available.
Awesome. Should help the recall vote a lot!
The kids are flooding across the border and nobody’s doing anything to stop them. Many of these children are UNACCOMPANIED and then shipped out to “sponsors” or alleged “family”. That troubling issue aside, there will be plenty of young ‘migrant’ students to fill the classrooms and get more state funding for the various school districts. I would imagine there will also be a great need for bilingual teachers who speak fluent Spanish.
California is quickly going over the cliff. It’s amazing, and terrifying, to watch.
A school’s academic potential is inversely related to the number of “eddikators” with “eddikashun” degrees.
And always remember, the NEA is an enemy. When I think of that disgusting group, the Darth Sidious remark, “Wipe them out. All of them” comes to mind.

I was born pre-mature and my lungs lack capacity.
I can not wear a mask for more than about 15 minutes. I can not wear a mask and do serious brain/physical work at all.
“During 2017-2019 (average) in the United States, preterm birth rates were highest for black infants (14.0%), followed by American Indian/Alaska Natives (11.7%), Hispanics (9.8%), whites (9.2%) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (8.8%).”
“Black infants (14.0%) were about 2 times as likely as Asian/Pacific Islander infants (8.8%) to be born preterm during 2017-2019 (average).”

Victor Davis Hanson’s latest “The Traditionalist” podcast covers the decline of California very well. In just 50 years it went from paradise to sh1t-hole. The weather is still great as is the natural beauty, but the place is an abomination. Just yesterday, the homos in San Fran said “we are coming for your kids.”
Low-Tuition Cost Private School Models
Many of our fellow Americans live in areas where leftists have poisoned the school systems.
TRADITIONAL TEACHER MODEL
My primary model would have about twenty kids in a class and a tuition of around $3,500/year/student.
Each teacher would set his/her tuition rate and maximum class size and handle student admission. Homeowner associations might host hook-up events for teachers, parents and prospective students. Tuition might be paid monthly for affordability and two months in advance (so it won’t be problem for the teacher if the parents have a major car repair bill one month).
Men and women who have good English and math skills but lack high-value technical skills might choose to become such teachers.
Teachers might provide their SAT scores and college transcript information to prospective parental customers. Independent certification authorities might thoroughly test the teachers and issue report cards.
Classrooms might be set up in commercial space no longer usable for retail stores because of excessive minimum wages or shrinkage.
A classroom might have four rows of five students each and might be around 1,000 square feet in size.
The curriculum might be based on a traditional state model, a current state model, a proprietary model or the teacher’s own handiwork.
PARENTAL ASSISTANCE MODEL
The Parental Assistance Model would have a parent of each child assist the teacher for a period of two weeks each school year.
The teacher would provide necessary training for the parents during several weekends prior to the school year.
Parents who don’t have the time or skill to fulfill their responsibilities would have to pay and arrange for substitutes. At 35 hours a week for two weeks at $30/hour with employer taxation, hiring a substitute might cost $1050. High-income parents would often seek low-income household parents to substitute, thereby helping the low-income household parents pay tuition.
PARENT-TEACHER MODEL
The Parent-Teacher Model would be the lowest cost form. It would have a parent of each child be a teacher for a period of two weeks each school year.
Parents looking to participate would obtain the necessary training and certification from a specialized training organization over about 100 classroom hours prior to the school year. This organization or another would obtain and maintain the physical classroom space.
Parents who don’t have the time or skill to fulfill their responsibilities would have to pay or arrange for substitutes.
Instead of vouchers:
PRIVATE SCHOOL TUITION FUNDING by SCHOOL PROPERTY TAX REBATE
To assist parents in paying tuition and to be fair to the parents, the amount of school taxes they (and perhaps the parents’ parents) pay on their residence(s) might be rebated.
Eventually, rebates might be paid for past year tuition as well, so if parents pay $7,500/year tuition for two kids and $3,000/year in school taxes, the $4,500/year difference could be rebated to the parents in the years after their kids graduate.
It is no longer possible for Republicans to reform systems at the federal level, so Republicans must enact state-level reforms.
