I don't think kids should have mask requirements in school and I say that as someone who has been pro-mask.
The data is clear that kids aren't getting COVID as much as adults and severe illness is pretty rare.
Parents should make the call on if their kid needs to wear a mask.

If a school district's area is seeing a massive outbreak, of course they should have temporary restrictions such as masks.
But to have a blanket mask mandate for a state is silly without some data-driven metrics to work with.
Being flexible is the key for school policies.

Have you seen elementary school kids sitting with masks in the August heat for 6+ hours?
They hate wearing them and end up playing around with them all day. Those masks are pretty nasty after a full day of school- especially in these hot months.
They end up being a distraction.

While I am frustrated that my kid will have to wear masks again, my anger is not at the school districts or even our governor who imposed the mandate.
It's at all of the adults who refuse to get vaccinated which has allowed COVID to spike again, forcing kids into this situation.
