Oh, come on. I couldn't wear shorts to school in elementary school. Principle's rules, and it didn't matter how hot it was.

Nor could I wear things that showed shoulders, among a slew of other things. I wasn't allowed to take a same-sex love interest to proms, nor anyone from another school (and it didn't matter that they lived in the same neighborhood). Blue hair? Go home until you fix it. We were told that the homecoming "powder puff" game was their legal girls football.

Heck, we had people watch us enter toilet stalls in elementary school to 'make sure' we peed during break.

These things happen all the time for both children and adults. Some were just stupid rules and some really freaking unfair, but most didn't ruin childhoods. And yet, folks are asking to wear masks to protect others because we think it helps is somehow ruining childhoods?

I gotta say, I just don't understand.

Pretty much all I hear from the pro-mask at school club are rationalizations. Your rebuttal is nothing but gaslighting me and rationalization. No facts, no science, no data.

It’s honestly abusive. How dare the government force my child to wear a mask at school against my objections.

So, instead of explaining literally anything, you come back saying you are victim (without explaining how), upholding your right to possibly put your child in danger (because I doubt you are a disease expert), and everyone is lying without facts - facts that you yourself didn't offer?
