Fed-up NYC parents demand an end to masking in schools

Fed-up New York City parents are demanding no masks in the classroom when school reopens in September.

Calling the coverings cruel, needless and detrimental to learning, some say they are even mulling homeschooling or private education options.

“I’m not willing to send him to school with a mask,” Manhattan mom Katherine Rohland said of her 3 1/2-year-old son, Robert, who is scheduled to go to a Department of Education pre-kindergarten program in the fall.

Rohland said the tot had to wear a mask at nursery school and immediately shut down, not talking to anyone, when he put it on. She said the facial covering also made it hard for him to be understood.

The family will enroll Robert in a private pre-K program if the DOE requires masks, Rohland said.

Stacie Tedesco, a speech pathologist who works with special needs students, said most of the time the kids did not wear masks at her school last year, and there was no coronavirus transmission between students and teachers.

She said she believed her 11-year-old, Christina, would be safe without a mask and was contemplating not sending her back to school if there was a mandate.

“We’re considering homeschooling,” she sad.

Mayor de Blasio said Monday that the city was “for now sticking with the idea that, you know, wearing the masks is a smart thing to do in schools. We’ll keep assessing as we go along. But I think for now it still makes sense.”

The Delta Virus is here and everyone will die unless you keep wearing a mask! You can only be saved by the face mask!

The level of ignorance about face masks throughout all of this is truly breathtaking — particularly after many months of data that masks have absolutely no affect on transmission of a respiratory virus. I suspect strongly that most ego-maniacal politicians, power-obsessed bureaucrats and, especially, celebrity-entralled “medical experts” know this which means — without a shadow of doubt means — they’re lying. Lying for the past 18 months right in the masked faces of American citizens who live in their realms.

This is conditioning. That’s all it is and I wish people would wake the Hell up. The government doesn’t give a crap about you or your health.

School district chief relaxing in her fancy office, with her female lover on her lap: “Until I see them with torches and pitchforks, I’m not doing a thing for them. Ha, they will let this blow over like all the years of our Marxist indoctrination forced onto their little brats. Tell me to start listening when you see the mob forming down at the end of the driveway.”

Her lover: “Uh, I hate to tell you, but....

And NYC schools think that it’s adorable that parents are trying to have a say in the school system.

Have written and reported on all of it and the Denmark study which was the largest at the time.

Try to convince a terrified Democrat that data and evidence shows the science as it’s clear today proves the cloth masks are nothing but stupidity and they will simply refuse to believe it.

Terrified Dems are the most woeful lemmings.

Why are you sending a 3 1/2 year old to school to start with. He belongs at home listening to his mother’s voice as she reads to him, clean his little hands after playing in the mud, hugging him when he falls and bangs his knee. Those days can never be recaptured.

Not sending a 3 1/2. It says he’s 3 1/2 now. So he he would be around 4 in the Fall. What year do you usually start pre-school if Kindergarten starts at 5?????

Coeur d’Alene is full of neo-nazis, therefore that sticker is racist.

School starts for some in August, which is next month. Insane to send little kids to school in masks. More die from influenza, but they never push masks for that.

Studies and data are not needed. Any idiot can see that the masks leak, do not filter viruses, and make the wearers breathe stale sir.
