With New Mask Guidance, CDC Once Again Needlessly Punishes Children; Greg Abbott Bans Texas Government Entities, Including Public Schools, From Requiring Masks, and other C-Virus Updates

With New Mask Guidance, CDC Once Again Needlessly Punishes Children:

As American adults breathe free without that little sting behind the ears, our children remain needlessly constrained by symbolic fabric face coverings.

Societies and cultures are often judged by how they treat the weakest among them. In nothing are these judgments so justified as in the treatment of children. Just as parents who put their own comfort and safety above that of their children are harshly and rightfully scorned, so too should be societies that do so.

By this measure, Americans have much to be ashamed of in our fight against COVID. At every turn, our children have suffered so adults might feel more at ease.

If this was not already clear, and it certainly should have been, last week’s reversal of mask guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was a blaring billboard graphically displaying this depravity. These scientists decided vaccinated adults and teenagers are now to be rewarded with a mask-free existence.

Who does that leave behind? Who must still cover their mouths and noses? Children younger than 12. Once it was said they should be seen, not heard. Now they should not even be seen.

Throughout the COVID crisis, we have been told to blindly “trust science,” to forgo thinking for ourselves. No matter how absurd the restrictions on gathering, dining, even dancing, we have slavishly trusted one set of experts. But now we must seriously consider where this obedience has gotten us. As American adults breathe free without that little sting behind the ears, our children remain constrained by symbolic fabric face coverings. --->READ MORE HERE

Greg Abbott bans Texas government entities, including public schools, from requiring masks:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott banned government entities, including public schools, from mandating mask-wearing after the Lone Star State reported zero coronavirus-related deaths in Sunday tabulations.

On Tuesday, the Republican issued executive order GA-36, which states that "no government entity, including a county, city, school district and public health authority and no government official may require a person to wear a face covering," excluding hospitals, care centers, jails, and prisons. Starting on May 21, government officials who violate the provisions of the new law may be subject to fines of up to $1,000, though schools may continue to require mask-wearing until June 4.

"The Lone Star State continues to defeat COVID-19 through the use of widely-available vaccines, antibody therapeutic drugs, and safe practices utilized by Texans in our communities," Abbott said in a statement. "Texans, not government, should decide their best health practices, which is why masks will not be mandated by public school districts or government entities. We can continue to mitigate COVID-19 while defending Texans' liberty to choose whether or not they mask up." --->READ MORE HERE
