    Millions of students in Florida, Texas and Arizona are being required to wear masks in class as school boards in mostly Democratic locales are imposing anti-COVID mandates in defiance of their Republican governors.http://apne.ws/m0fghCh

        we live under a great number of hygiene mandates. Why people flip out over a mask is beyond me. Are all these anti maskers going to stop brushing their teeth or changing their underwear everyday? Apparently all our mothers were Fascists for making us wash.

        The Ed Dept has clarified that states cannot ban school mandates, but still waiting to see if they will *require* (which they presumably have at least some authority to) mask (or vaccination) mandates in schools as a condition of funding... @ArthurCaplan https://news.azpm.org/p/coronavirus/2021/8/18/199068-education-secretary-warns-arizona-over-mask-law/ …

        The fact that this contagious disease became so politically polarizing is the last proof I need that the USA is doomed as a country. I’ll probably live to see it collapse into a state of total humiliation.
