        Good time to re-up @NoreenMalone's great piece about Brookline's resistance to reopening schools, despite having heaps of parental expertise on how to do it safely:https://slate.com/human-interest/2020/12/school-reopening-teachers-unions-parents-brookline-massachusetts.html …

        To be clear, the CDC update on outdoor masking last week was a guidance, not an edict. To the extent that Brookline is actually overruling another authority, it's the state of Massachusetts, which eased its outdoor masking rules following the CDC shift.

        Who cares? A person with a mask isn’t hurting anyone.
