Here is another thing we need to do and I am putting this out there for parents, students who are actually independent, maybe artistic (the real kind, not the kind that parrot media pundit talking points and shill as the unpaid salesforce for pharmaceutical companies) -- on or around the first week of October, my state, Massachusetts, will decide whether or not mask mandates remain. They, like other school districts in the country, I am assuming, claim to be targeting an 80% vax rate among students and staff. Once they get that, they will "lift mask requirements" tho they never say for who. If they do not hit 80% by Oct. 1 they will begin to segregate: vaccinated students no mask, special perks (dances, free Starbucks, whatever). Masks, shaming, ridiculing,politicizing (must be a Republican), undue stress and finger pointing for the unvaccinated.

Here is what should happen. We can promote this in op-eds, if youre a letter write, op ed writer for the local paper and know your school districts "due date" for mask restrictions to be lifted, or can try selling it to our most influential kids, teachers, sort of like that guy with the signs in the TikTok video shared here.

Get all kids to protest this segregation by wearing their masks on the day they no longer had to, in solidarity with the students who did not get the vaccine (yet, or may never get it). Some of the more creative should wear masks with symbolic images, and sayings from the past that will remain their "educators" about segregation. Some suggestions include the yellow star of david with the word Jew in the middle of it; No Irish Need Apply; Back of the Bus; Colored Only; Whites Only; Men Only; and though this never was a thing but will work for the rainbow crowd, No Fags Allowed. This should outrage everyone. I can think of no better way than a horde of kids who do not need to wear a mask to say we do not stand for segregation of the healthy among us -- and remind the adults what segregation (based on science and politics of the past) looks like.

Hey Kenneth... I'm in MA, and we homeschool so are not in the thick of things at schools. Most people I know locally have gotten the jabs, but I don't see them wanting to FORCE others or to SEGREGATE each other. We're about to leave on a big trip, but I'll do my best to connect with local friends when we get back. :)

I read that, in New York, the The New York State Department of Health repealed the mask mandate for unvaccinated after it got hit with a lawsuit. Perhaps this case will provide some pressure on Massachusetts to not force unvaccinated to wear masks.

Good. We will file one here. Tho I prefer all students wear one and do so with the slogans and symbolism I mentioned above. Lawsuits like this go unnoticed. Stunts like that, with reporters like me around, do not.

Yes, vaccinated students and teachers should refuse their "perks" to prevent themselves from being targeted for more vaccine mandates in the coming months and years - but this should be preceded by destroying whatever documentation they have of their vaccination status, en masse.
