It is ABSOLUTELY obvious that parents have the right to manage their children's health and not some bureaucrat.

But have you considered that 90+% of parents are too stupid to "manage their children's health"?????

The teacher and school want to go back to WHAT WORKED last school year.
This is about what is right and taking it of the school and teachers hands is not what’s right…..period

From ABC news, known to be a bastion for hard right news......

Most children who become infected with COVID-19 have mild or no symptoms and caught the virus from their parents rather than at school, a new report has found.....It found children rarely spread COVID-19 to other children, teachers or staff.

Don't you even ask yourself why these people got infected if they were wearing a mask? Get back to us when you can prove where they got infected.

Really? You're going to insult 90% of all parents? Statements such as this are just plain idiotic.

"My child has a fever of 103. Hello, congressman. What should I do?"

It shouldn't even have to happen that a governor should mandate freedom. Anyone can wear a mask no one should be forced to.

Mandates happen all the time. You must wear shirt and shoes in most restaurants. Most mandates are for health concerns. This is no different.

I'm not sure the overall % is that high, but I will say that I believe the majority of parents who are putting their children at risk (and may have to live with the consequences) and using them as pawns, just to make some kind of political point - ARE incompetent.

Just the opposite. If you really think your children are in danger and want to protect them; then keep them home.

Precisely.

This is a ruling that affirms the right of the parents to decide on the health issues of their children rather than arbitrarily let schools overrule parents, and as such should be welcome by all of us.

The hundreds that I worked with in previous life, stand on “I worked the first 8 months, most of the time without proper PPE, or the same PPE for days at at time. Exposed 60 plus hours a week, and survived.

Many are appalled, at healthcare workers right to choose. But without them, the world would be a very different place.

Excellent points, all.

One of the problems with this whole mess is that things just aren't adding up. For instance, my stepdaughter and my step-granddaughter both came down with COVID last week in Minnesota. Family of six--and all fully vaccinated. It has pretty much run it's course though there are still several quarantine days left for them. School masks are mandated too, and my stepdaughter works from home. No other family member came down with it. Where it came from is anyone's guess, but they all did the mask-and-shot thing and this still happened.

Another interesting happening up there: the Minnesota Nurse's Association (largest such in the state, and it represents nurses in a couple of adjacent states as well) officially has adopted a position of neutrality on the COVID vaccinations for its members: in other words, it has decided that their members are a bit more qualified than the bureaucrats to make their own health-care decisions.

Question, if you saw a parent beating their child black and blue, would you step in? Should the teacher? Or just watch and advocate for the rights of parents to do so. What about Covid which can do worse?

Equating not making your child wear a mask to child abuse? Come on.

By your logic, letting your children ride in a car is child abuse. Letting them go swimming is child abuse. Your children are much more likely to die from those events than from COVID.

Nope. Most people do not intentionally drive so they can have an accident because they get their license taken away. You teach a child to swim, I started my daughter at 6 months and also each of my small kittens too. After I saw someone throw cats into a lake. There are schools which also teach swimming. You are reaching, sir or madam, to justify endangering the innocent.

I don’t get this whole thing with our governor, last year the school did great why make this stand……I am very disappointed in him. FYI in Weirsdale Elementary the school right off of 42 had 2 cafeteria ladies catch Covid and both died within four days of each other. Maybe all you pro No Mask Mandates would like to go deal with the grieving kids.
