#Pennsylvania #Schools #Masks
i live in texas, havent worn mask in school for months
Section 127 – CONSTITUTION OF PENNSYLVANIA. § 27. Natural resources and the public estate. The people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. Tom Wolf needs to be locked up for violating our Constitution and knowing so..
Masks are a waste of Time.We we're not Created to Breathe our Own Body Waste. Better Wake up America
Of course they did. They’re getting paid by the federal govt to mandate it. Follow the money  the root of this and many evils.
Why aren't school districts disclosing how much they are getting paid for this and where that money goes ? Follow the money not science.
resistance is futile you will be assimilated… WE ARE BIDEN
Masks = low breathing which = respirators
You still can spread it, get it, or even die if your vaccinated also, so what the heck?
People are stupid. Just rename the schools to Emmy's . Problem solved!
Is a Scientific fact , If you are gathering outside call Lollapalooza , if is inside call Emmy .
Didn't these people say the vaccine Wil end the virus lol fake vaccine
Here we are 18 months later and people still don’t understand or refuse to understand the mask is to protect others from yourself. Be a good American. Wear a mask. If you were going in for surgery and your dr refuses to mask up would you applaud her? Yep we are living in the golden age of stupidity!
Obey your mask orders. Stupid people.
Should of stayed with online classes as it started……this is just mass child abuse. Ban smoking maybe then? It kills more people that that political covid! Yes its person choice to smoke or not to smoke and same should apply to mask nonsense.
But Fauci said Masks do not work?….

Do not let them take your rights away the people have the power not the governments. The parents should make the decision if there kids wear the mask or not. Not the school or the goverment should make that decision. Again do not let them take your rights away.
Why do idiots (the right) make a pandemic a political issue.
Great ðŸ‘ÂÂ

Real Science vs Sciencetism.
This democrat administration is pushing Sciencetism NOT Science.
The researchers/scientists that were being funded by Dr. Falsey were in full body gear with oxygen being fed through a tube. But somehow a face mask, is going to protect against an airborne virus????? That’s the biggest lmfao WTF thing I’ve ever heard.
What happened to it being up to the schools do what they want to do? You mean to tell me ALL the schools in PA agreed to this? Wow. It makes me wonder what people voted against that Wolf was doing
My local high school had a walkout to protest the mask mandates. I don’t understand. There’s no logical reason to enforce masks in a high school. The number of COVID-19 related deaths in the US for kids ages 5-18 in the past year is 358. In a country with roughly 350 million people, that accounts for .00000097% of the population. In that same age group, 250 died from the flu in 2018 – 2019. If that number didn’t cause hysteria then, why is it now? Someone debate me, please. Make me understand.
Here's the answer. Mandate all the things we were formerly told were important. Masks, faceshields, goggles, and gloves. Then NO ONE will comply and we'll all be on the same side again! Yayyy
Wolf really does not want a job in politics anymore does he
Whooooo!
why people don’t like virtual school ? no need to argue mask or no mask.
The science says you could connect 3 corona virus together and they'd still go straight through an n-95 mask ( the standard of masks). Masks are USELESS! Stop with the political theater crap!! Barack Obama didn't have masks at his big birthday bash a few weeks ago with his 500 guests! People who have already had covid ( most people) have immunity that those who are vaccinated don't have! The evil media is destroying this country! It's all political theater! They're padding the so called number of deaths attributed to covid as well. The reality is how many people die "with" covid then die "from " covid! It's a political sham job!! Anything to keep people indoors so they can steal more elections in 2022 and more mind control over us all!
Not wearing a mask in these crisis is showing people they don't care if they spread something to a family member,a love one, or a friend. So its really up to you to protect yourself while someone else or other people aren't.
Enough! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸September 7th 2021 is National protest day in America! Whether you are for masks or against masks -whether you are for vaccines or against vaccines we are against government overreach and these mandates are proof of that. Join the protests by either calling into work or avoiding businesses that support these mandates!
Good. A governor with his head screwed on tight.
For Unvaccinated children masks are their
only protection!
FAKE NEWS !!!
Solution – Stop education. Let the parents educate their own kids.
Muzzled Society. The new standard
And they call Texas baby killers…psh
Good decision by Governor.
Your thin cheap obedience mask made in a sweatshop somewhere in India or China is only 10-20% effective. That is a fact! But y’all keep on wearing your face diapers if it makes you feel better. I have more common sense than that.
The parents who want their kids to wear masks in school should wear masks inside of their homes and while they are sleeping which I guarantee they don't.. HYPOCRISY
Every governor who mandates should be sued and replaced. There is no scientific evidence to support it. The parents that protest for masks are uninformed idiots.
Masks don’t work!
A mask is just as effective as a screen door on a submarine unless the the mask they are wearing is certified by NIOSH to prevent spread of diseases (example: N95 mask) and the one wearing the mask has passed a fit test for that mask. The mask must also have a seal as well too around the face to be effective.
A month ago he said he wasn’t considering a mask mandate. Now he turns back on that and the reason why I don’t like it even though I don’t care about masks is bc he is clearly just doing what his party asks instead of listening to his people. Yes Ik about science, data and numbers, and they justify not wearing masks more than they do, the numbers in this video are biased to wearing masks.
If these people knew what was coming, these "schools" would be the least of their worries. Mu will slaughter the human population of Earth.
All those fearful, do virtual school. All those PROVEN infected must quarantine. All the rest, live your life…go to school unmasked.
🤬🤬
Make masks optional, and just no breathing around kids who aren't masked. Problem solved.
