The Healthy Children Resolution
This week the Legislature ordered everyone to wear masks at the Capitol indefinitely, even as Dr. Fauci himself testifies in Congress without one. It appears the goal is to be as anti-scientific as possible.
I just wish this farce our biggest problem. The far more serious matter is our kids: California remains one of the only states with a school mask mandate, and there’s no sign of this changing for the Fall.
But parents are fighting back. I’ve written a letter in support of a Resolution on Healthy Children, advocating local control and parental choice, that will be considered by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors this Tuesday. Here is a copy you can propose in your county.
Several peer-reviewed studies show no benefit to masks in school. Kids in Florida have been in classrooms with no mask requirement for a year and haven’t done any worse with COVID cases than in California. Our government is causing kids pain for no good reason; there’s a term for that.
Gavin Newsom knows this. When he finally lifted the general mask mandate on June 15, he tweeted “enjoy the fresh air” to the lucky adults who were now free to breathe without his interference. But the suffocating uniformity of student masking aligns perfectly with his education agenda:
- Declaring war on charter schools so that families have no escape from the state-run school they’re assigned.
- Requiring critical race theory so students won’t think for themselves.
- Even doing away with advanced math under a new proposal to hold everyone back to the same level through 11th grade.
And of course, spending more money: $26,355 per pupil in LA under Newsom’s latest budget. Meanwhile, California’s pre-COVID rankings – 46, 48, 47, and 47 in 4th and 8th grade math and reading – are certainly even worse after the nation’s longest school shutdown.
After we get rid of masks and get rid of Newsom, we can get ready for fundamental education reform – based on local control, school choice, and academic excellence.
