Students and staff in one class at a public school in Montgomery County, Maryland, are being told that they must wear masks for the next 10 days after three “or more” people tested positive for COVID-19.

In a letter sent home to parents on Tuesday, Rosemary Hills Elementary School principal Rebecca Irwin Kennedy wrote that KN95 masks would be distributed and students and staff in “identified classes or activities” will be required to mask up while in school for the next 10 days “except when eating or drinking.”

The letter states that after a 10-day period, “masks will become optional again.”

That period will end on Sept. 11, according to school system spokesperson Christopher Cram.

At-home rapid test kits are also being sent home and made available for students. Parents are being asked to report any positive test results to the school attendance office.

[[ I’d be more worried about a TB outbreak from all the thousands of illegal alien kids]]

Exactly! That is gonna be a “plandemic” in the near future. It’s already Increasing in cases now- just wait til. It spreads like wildfire. Those letting migrants over the border KNOW that it’s gonna cause problems real soon.

These “three or more” people, have they died? Are they in the ICU? Are they still hospitalized? Have they gone to their doctor? Do they show any symptoms? Do they only claim a positive test result?

Come on, school district. If you believe the virus to be so lethal and dangerous, why aren’t the schools shut down and teachers salaries slashed for the days of non-work? 5.3% would be a start.

There’s no emergency powers under which to enforce this. IMHO it then becomes a 1A violation, the State has no business telling you to wear face garments. They are not proven to provide any benefit, if anything, the opposite.

Just don’t comply and sue the school if they retaliate.

Home schooling bump.

The public schools are child abuse—in so many ways.

N 95 Mask Study Published By NIH Suggests N95 Covid Masks May Expose Wearers To Dangerous Levels Of Toxic Compounds Linked To Seizures And Cancer https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4178373/posts

Also masks DO JUST ABOUT NOTHING to prevent Covid.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11702865/Masks-make-little-no-difference-Covid-infections-massive-cross-country-meta-analysis-finds.html

And the masks were NEVER designed for children, (with developing lungs), who are FORCED to wear them for 8 hours a day.

The above article also noted an increased risk for mask wearers to get RSV, partly because the masking prevents children developing natural immunity to other illnesses.

There is not, and never has been, a single, solitary study, ever done that showed that community masking has any statistically relevant effect on the spread of outcome of any respiratory viral infection... PERIOD.

Never has been.

Masks are about control, and pandering to the cowardly, they provide absolutely no protection.

Montgomery County, MD is swamp central filled with government employees and contractors. Many of the parents will gladly comply with the mask mandates.

The important thing is for any conservatives in blue areas and any conservative jurisdictions to resist this nonsense. There’s no doubt in my mind they’re planning a slow buildup to full Covid restrictions implemented in 2020 for the 2024 election cycle.

Not too surprising. You can’t get more left-wing than Montgomery County, Maryland.

These are the people that have Fauci candles in their homes and believe "Fauci is the science".

When I was living in Balitmore, long ago, we referred to the DC area as “the Great Cesspool.”

Too bad public education doesn’t react when 3 or more students fail education standards.

I was recently in hospital for 3 nites (freak thing)...half of doctors and @20% of nursing staff wore masks...I truly question their intelligence.

Probably because of policy than any personal desire.

Most nurses I know have been laughing about this mask nonsense from the start.

If it was “policy” they’d all be wearing them, I think

“Kids have little risk of serious complications “

Schools don’t care about that. They want to avoid the risk of serious disobedience.
