Over the weekend, Hollywood celebrities partied maskless at the Emmy Awards. Authorities said it was OK because entertainers get a mask exception. Keep that in the back of your mind. Put the school board member dancing because she got a school mask mandate passed in the back of your mind. Also, the other school board member who pulled her mask down because it was hard to read her speech on why your kids need to be masked at school. Don't wild out and throw your phone just yet. Wait until you read this scoop from KTTH's Jason Rantz.
Elementary school kids in Tacoma, Washington, are forced to wear masks during lunch. Literally, while they are chewing and swallowing. Here's the email Rantz obtained:
Children should wear masks during lunch. They can lower it to take a bite or a drink, and raise it to chew, swallow, or talk. Our cafeteria has a fantastic airflow system and children are spaced apart AND when over a hundred of them are in one large room (the cafeteria and gym combined) we need to treat lunchtime as a dangerous time for all. Children need to continue to wear their masks during lunch.
Rantz reached out to the school and heard back from Shallae Hobbs, Tacoma Public Schools administrator of health services. Hobbs claims the school is simply following CDC guidelines and cites those guidelines. The problem is the guidelines say the exact opposite. Per the CDC, there is an exception for when masks can't be worn, SUCH AS WHEN EATING LUNCH. Hobbs also cited the Department of Health that advises ... you don't have to wear a mask WHILE ENGAGED IN THE ACT OF EATING OR DRINKING. Hobbs is the person in charge of students' health. She doesn't understand health. She obviously can't read. She most likely gets a six-figure salary paid for by your tax dollars.
Shockingly not shocking, once this policy was made public, the school changed it:
"The standard originally set at Geiger was established in good faith as an interpretation of health department guidance to wear masks when 'actively eating. In checking with the health department, that standard goes beyond their intent. We won't discipline any students for not wearing their masks between bites. And this is not the guidance being used at other schools."
A "good faith" policy that forced children to wear a mask during lunch, only let them pull it down when they take a bite or sip, and force them to quickly pull the mask back up. The policy was only changed because a parent sent an email to a talk radio host. Question to parents reading this: What's the policy at your kid's school?
Because if the past eighteen months (plus fifteen days) have taught us anything, school districts operate schools assuming you aren't paying attention.
