Subject: | Parental Choice Regarding Mask Mandates in School |
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation to allow parents and legal guardians to “opt-out” their child from having to comply with a school’s mask mandate. These mandates are being implemented despite limited data that clearly demonstrates the benefits of mask-wearing in a school setting. I have heard from parents around the state who are concerned about the negative impacts of mask-wearing on their child to include:
Furthermore, the form must clearly state that the child is not to be isolated, separated from classmates, or otherwise left out of participation in school activities. I believe that parents and legal guardians have the fundamental right to make health and educational decisions that are best suited for their children. Please join me in co-sponsoring this important legislation. |
Introduced as HB1980
