BTW, peeps- Headstart staff and students still have to wear masks per the federal government. Those kids' speech patterns and vocabulary have been stunted beyond belief and now the ones that were in Pre-K at the beginning of this are now in Kindergarten and First grade and so far behind that it's detrimental not only to them but to America as a whole.

Why would anyone agree to mask a child? That is child abuse and the teachers are the abusers who comply with totalitarianism. It’s up to everyone to say NO.

sadly, some kids are petrified to show their faces now. the mask is a critical piece of their security. it's a safe space they wear on their face. their still-developing brains are fully indoctrinated and dogmatized. it will take massive emotional growth for these kids to shake off that mindset.

It is astonishing that anything remotely similar would be considered child abuse. Yet parents would do this indefinitely without thinking of the obvious.

Gonna be a lot of effed up kids. I'm sure they'll figure out a way to blame it on the unvaccinated.

I couldn't resist punkin a few young men at the mall yesterday who were wearing masks. They were standing next to girls without masks.

So I looked at the boys and said; have you heard that girls can identify boys with small soft parts by looking at your face diaper? ...good luck...

@El ellop- my daughter is a director there. She hates the idea of not only the kids wearing them but of staff having to wear them. But she needs her job. It's the federal government that is imposing it on them. Where are the Republican leaders??

If she were required to beat the children would she do it? Even though she hates it? To keep her job? What’s she’s doing is arguably worse. Tell her to get a new job.

Disgusting. The selfishness accompanied by fear is revolting to me.

I posted this about a month ago. I think its true from my observations:

Fear was a luxury. Cowardness an indulgence. Both were incentivized and exploited during the pandemic. The former as a weapon. The later as a way to inoculate against empathy.

It’s horrific. I’m finding the head of our local headstart and sending a particularly disgusting article from Brownstone institute. Which demon has federal charge over this child sacrifice program?

Can we declare government abuse of its citizens a public health emergency?

No. Because we would actually need extra hospital beds. You know the whole farce that started this nonsense.

Exactly. That's why it's so hard for my daughter, a Headstart director, at times because she's old school when it comes to education and discipline.
