After 30 months of brutally restricting our city’s children over inflated fears about their susceptibility to COVID-19, the arts community inexplicably won’t stop. Even as city- and state-enforced edicts have slipped into the annals of history, children’s mask and vaccine mandates remain alive in many museums, theaters and other cultural venues.
Parents like me often learn about these dictates via a school note about a class trip, when we have little recourse. First, the good news: Your child is being given a beautiful opportunity to see a show at the Alvin Ailey or New Victory Theater — hooray! Oh, but by the way, he or she will be required to “mask up.” Often the masking is framed as something children must do “out of respect.”

When it comes to perpetuating COVID hysteria, museums are as retrograde as children’s theater. MoMath, for instance, still requires masks. The Jewish Museum dropped its mask mandate but requires visiting school groups to mask up. El Museo del Barrio continues to make everyone mask. The Whitney only requires masks in the children’s open studio (!).
...
When I phoned Alvin Ailey to ask why it’s forcing children to cover their faces during a school performance meant to be social, interactive and fun, the terse response was “What’s the big deal, it’s just a mask!” ...
This hurt me to the core. As a lifelong patron of the arts, I can’t understand the logic — and the casual indifference to restoring children’s joy, wonder and essential connection to the arts, something they need now more than ever.
Children have been through so much already. When will the abuse stop?

When parents stand up and say enough is enough? Seems to me they haven't had enough socialism shoved up their asses yet.
Because fags have to fag off?...
Because getting bullied by jocks and blacks isn’t demeaning enough?

Because this is and was never about health.
It’s about training society to be obedient sheep for the great culling

Telegraphing total submission which moves you to the front of the line for handouts. It’s pretty pathetic.
because hypoxia is good for brain development
It’s such a visible signal of how much they truly care and are doing “something”. At the same time, it’s their last line of control since adults have given up on them.
Yup...the artsy-fartsy types have a disproportionate percentage of queers of varying rainbow stripes, many of whom have long been contemptuous of “breeders”.
Small wonder they detest the small fry.
Parents sit back and whine and do nothing, get up off your a##es and fight for your kids
There is a guy I know who was born in Russia during the USSR years and he cannot comprehend why anyone would want to live under socialism.
