 my 15 year old is vaccinated and i can get him tested tomorrow.  but he still had to wear a mask at school.
 
You are the single 
most predictable 
person on this board.  
 
Tell me why if a group of actors are tested and vaccinated, they can forgo masks.  But kids who are tested and vaccinated,  Can’t.
 
are kids getting sick more than adults?  is that what you’re saying?? are you saying children are a riskier group than adults?  have fun with that.

Does your son only go to school with 15 year olds? have they all be vaccinated ?..   Why does a mask bother you as bad as someone Throwing an Egg ?   Republicans act as if a Mask is a yellow star or some evil form of control ... it's just a mask ..  To bad parents can't adjust to mask wearing as effortlessly as Children..  there is always the home school approach  freedom of choice is still alive and well

 at my sons school, they’re all vaccinated ( private school).
 
why change the subject?
 
answer - even you know you can’t discuss this subject, and not have your side look stupid.
 
you’re dodging the question completely.  because you know you can’t answer it without losing the argument.
 
how the hell do you know, how effortlessly kids are adjusting?  
 
why can’t actors adjust to wearing their masks?
 
because you can only criticize the right.  you’re a brain dead parrot.
 
everyone of you is exactly the same.
 
You’ll criticize republicans for 
mask hesitancy, but. it these people.  Please explain why?
 
have fun!

why change the subject?  I have no clue where your kids go to school  
 
answer - even you know you can’t discuss this subject, and not have your side look stupid. 
 
mask requirements do not extend to private schools?  Or is that not the case in Conn  
 
you’re dodging the question completely.  because you know you can’t answer it without losing the argument. 
 
Again you compare  kids in school to adults at an event   
 
how the hell do you know, how effortlessly kids are adjusting?   
 
Just ask. I see kids outside my door at the bus stop from high school middle schools and elementary they all are outside and still wear their masks as easily as being on their phones  
 
why can’t actors adjust to wearing their masks? 
 
Their venue didn’t require it it’s really that simple.  
 
because you can only criticize the right.  you’re a brain dead parrot. 
 
The right only deserves criticism  
Because they all are complicit in the big lie  
Trump Asks Georgia to Decertify 2020 Election Results, Calls for Naming of 'True Winner' 
 
But masks is a bigger issue than stealing an election.  It’s called priorities  
 
 
 
everyone of you is exactly the same.

mask hesitancy, but. it these people.  Please explain why?

 Now it’s called mask hesitancy ..  Democratic’s wear them as and where required 
 
GOPQ don’t wear them because it’s about Freedom 
 
Do you not pay attention to anything those you support actually say and do?

Do yo ever provide examples that are remotely the same ?

 so you’re saying you’re not aware of a single case of a prominent democratic elected official,  violating mask guidelines.  that’s what you’re saying?
 
one of 100 i could 
post.

 Again Jim why do you provide examples that are not remotely the same ..  yes some Dems got caught disregarding their own mask orders  
For you it’s like the girl throwing the egg !  you are incapable of seeing the big picture . How many maskless people at Trump rallies how many GOP lawmakers using  executive orders  they claim to hate so towns and businesses can’t mandate masks I don’t see you outraged when they are caught wearing one ?  Because it’s a freedom issue … just say it
 
PS if your kids in a private school why does the mask mandated apply?  My understanding it’s a private school thing same for vaccines

 you said dems wear the masks, republicans don’t.  i disproved that.  instead of saying i have a point, you say my examples “are not the same” yet naturally you don’t say why they’re not the same.  
 
our catholic schools are following state mandates.  i don’t  tell my kids not to wear them, i’m not even saying i’m opposed to them wearing them ( there are experts on both sides, but zero consensus), just asking an obvious question, which has every single one  of you twisted in knots because even you know, as TDF said, it’s a glaring double standard,  but you can’t say it out loud, because you are a slave to liberalism and are incapable of criticizing it.  
 
You “feeling the spirit” yet?

 yup, most of these schools are following state guidance .... I'm coaching by a private school, if another school has a vax policy we have to abide by that whether home or away....most of the policy is actually guided by fear of lawsuits more than anything

 sorry, here’s my favorite.  
 
San Francisco has a mandate saying that if you’re in a bar or restaurant, unless you’re eating or drinking, you have to wear a mask.
 
Then there was video of the mayor dancing in a bar with no mask.  Not eating or drinking at the time
 
Clearly, she violated her own mandate.
 
Her defense?  In her own words, she wasn’t thinking about her mask, because she “ was feeling the spirit.”
 
that’s now a defense of violating her own mandates. “Feeling the spirit.”. 
 
Can’t make that one up, i dare you to try.

 The Emmy's were a single event with a few thousand people, it would likely be be impossible to test millions of kids frequently enough not to mention for the schools to manage it.

 Many, many schools do regular testing.  Most colleges tested students weekly all last year.  Not sure what planet you've ben living on.  My son's school tests everyone, every two weeks.  What else ya got?

 Nation wide there are some 80 million students, not to mention a lot of states and schools that would refuse to do it. Doesn't seem like the protocols in place right now are that demanding, why change if the rates of infection are still too high?

 ok let’s make it really simple.  
 
so in my sons school, where every kid is vaccinated and every kid is tested every other week, why should he have to wear a mask, especially when they are socially distancing, , while these adults ( a far riskier group) aren’t required to do so, while sitting on top of one another.
