To The Daily Sun,
Newfound School District had their school board meeting Aug. 9, to approve the reopening plan. There were about 15 people in attendance to address that the students should not wear masks. The plan was approved which included masks will not be required this school year, BUT . . . if an issue arises then the superintendent has the option to make the students wear masks.
I attended this meeting standing up for our kids and requested the school board and superintendent NEVER require our kids to EVER wear a mask again. Other parents said similar things and quoted different studies against wearing masks. It is a shame that more parents did not come out and tell the school board how damaging the masks have been and the psychological effect it had on our kids. Fifteen people cannot do it all, all of us must stand up for the kids in our community/district.
The district should be teaching our kids and we need to be parenting. Masks don’t work because kids being kids will never wear them correctly 100 percent of the time and science has proven the molecules are so tiny, they pass through the masks.
Stop this nonsense and tell the school district that your child will never wear a mask again unless you say they will.
On another note, I had only two school board members from Bristol and New Hampton state they are against critical race theory being taught. The other school board members would not even reply to my email (keep this in mind when it comes time to vote in March). The superintendent also assured me that CRT is not being taught and has no plans to teach it and it is not being taught by any other name.

The molecules themselves may be small enough to pass through the layers of a mask, especially if worn incorrectly. Sure. The wonderful thing is, the molecules aren't floating around by themselves - they attach to respiratory droplets, which are larger & get caught in the mask (when worn correctly). All of them may not wear them correctly 100% of the time. Sure. But, while they are wearing them correctly, they're helping. If you didn't have enough of a structure to fully ensure you would survive an approaching tornado without a scratch, would you just stand in the middle of the field because "why bother?". Most sane people would do what they can & would want their children to do the same!
Absurd. Nonsense. Misinformed. Driven by far right politics
What's more damaging to a child's psyche, wearing a mask temporarily or ending up in an ICU ward for children or possibly on a ventilator as reported in the states seeing a high increase in COVID cases due to the Delta Variant?
Responsible parents do the right thig by their children to protect their health and everyone they come into contact with, and explain that mask won't be forever and the reason for it; in many cases kids are much smarter than the adults and will understand.
It's the ignorant and misinformed parents like you and the ones at that school board meeting that are dangerous to public health; acting like children and need to grow up.
This could and should be resolved by Governor Sununu, taking some real leadership and stop trying to posture to gain support with the Trump Cult, mandate mask in all New Hampshire schools by students, teachers and all school personnel unless of medical restriction with regular testing be an option; this delta variant is showing itself to much more contiguous and transmittable to everyone, especially younger people and children.
This is a time when the Governor should support and act in the name of public health and take politics out of irresponsible stupidity by anti-masking nitwits.
Exactly. These so-called "people" are more interested in their politics than the safety of the public. Driven by ignorance and arrogance they endanger all of us.
What are you smoking?
