This past weekend, the Super Bowl enlightened us not just because the Bengals tragically lost in the last minute of the big game, but because we saw a false pretense, a façade of virtuous character among our leaders and lawmakers insisting we mask up.
But yet they don’t conform to their own social and moral standards. Leaders lead by setting an example for others. But when that doesn’t happen, we lose trust, respect, and credibility – while simultaneously forcing children to cover their faces all day long in school, which at this point is harmful to our kids.
Is it really that bad? Yes. At this time, masking children is more harmful than COVID itself for most children, the lowest risk group who have a near-zero mortality rate from coronavirus – 0.24% to be exact.
When children cover their faces, they cover their personalities, their expressions. Facial expressions are the most vital and valuable aspect of human to human communication and interaction - the way a child conveys his thoughts, emotions, ideas, intentions. Their face indicates physical or psychological distress and that’s not to mention nonverbal communication expressing fear, anger sadness, or pain, all of which impacts social engagement, growth, personality, confidence, and behavior. It makes me wonder whether alterations or deprivation of these necessities at an early age will be responsible for mental illness later in life.
Covering a child’s face is closing the window to a child’s mental and physical state, dampening their personality, cognitive processes and hindering their emotions and enculturation. In the words of psychologist Silvan Tomkins, "the face is the seat of emotion." And whether a child expresses excitement or anguish, it must be acknowledged, but this is not possible with the only eyes exposed due to mask coverage of 80% of a child’s face.

Wow. You’re sure feeling nasty today.
I actually read an article that said some children, girls especially, are nervous about taking off their masks since they think they’re ugly because they don’t look like the latest “influencer” they’ve been watching. And then they have to put up with insulting garbage like your posts.

He doesn’t feel nasty, it’s natural for him.
Haven’t heard even one accusation of the Super Bowl being a potential Super Spreader event. I’m confident the media response would be different it it were a Trump rally
I don’t doubt it.
Wow.
Not only are you old and German...
You’re also not very clever.
Go drink your tea and Geritol, hässliche Hündin.
Yes, I’m afraid you’re right. I’ve been seeing ugly posts by him for years and I generally try to ignore him, but this was really mean-spirited. Maybe someday the barbell from Heaven will drop on his head and shake him up. There’s always hope!
Thank you.
