    This becomes moot when you no longer use the public school system
    It’s moot on an individual level. It’s not moot when you consider the impact to society. The kids being forced to wear masks today will be the society of tomorrow. Not using the public school system is a fringe behavior. Most kids go to public school.

    What this generation tolerates the next embraces. Imagine where this might lead, absent some sort of course correction.

    Perhaps progressives are confusing cause and effect. Perhaps they looked at a country like Japan where mask wearing was always common, saw that people were polite, co-operative and predisposed to do what authorities told them to do, and erroneously drew the conclusion that it was the masks that did it rather than racial homogeneity and a high civilization that predates ours by centuries :dunno:

    They have confused it. We've heard from progressives talk about how oriental culture (yes, I used the 'o' word) embraces mask wearing and this means we should too. I guess the US has too many of those evil counter-culture non-conformists much diversity.

    I'm seeing more and more people wearing masks.

    Is there some new (relatively harmless) virus that we're supposed to be scared of? Another one that has a 99.7% survival rate?

    I work in a hospital and the only time we are asked to wear a mask is if we have to enter a Covid patient room or are sick ourselves. Nothing like Ebola or new viruses out there.

    I ran into a hotel that still has this posted by the elevator. (Marriott as a corporation dropped masking requirements back in... 2021?) It's not applicable, not being followed, not enforced - but nobody bothered to take the sign down. (This is in Madison, WI, which might explain it.)

    The stupidity lingers, especially in stupid places.

    I would sure like to know why oriental is considered politically incorrect. It only means eastern and we, the occidental, are western.
