Driving my kid to school today people on the radio started talking about mask mandates for kids in school (they are not required for adults here). I went crazy and started telling my kid that the cloth masks the kids wear at school are completely ineffective at stopping the virus.
I told her we were being ruled by either evil people or morons, or both. Then I reminded my child that the teachers in the school have to tell kids to mask up, for if they spoke up against masking they would lose their jobs.
So following the (political) science hits the education business also.
