most infuriating thing ever, to see the little ones with masks on! I walked by a mom (no mask) and 4 yr old (with mask) in the grocery store yesterday.

most infuriating thing ever, to see the little ones with masks on! I walked by a mom (no mask) and 4 yr old (with mask) in the grocery store yesterday. I commented out loud, 'poor kid'; have no idea if the mom heard me, as I kept on walking.
my niece has a 5 yr old daughter with severe autism and put off getting her into special ed and/or therapy because there's no way the little girl would keep a mask on.
I know of at least 2 students locally, who were literally kicked out of public special ed programs because they could not tolerate masks. its completely against state and federal IDEA (special ed) laws. so not only are healthy little one being harmed, the kids who already have issues, were denied appropriate educations.
My teenage son had developmental delays. I know how hard it is to help them develop in therapy without a mask-with a mask is beyond cruel to the child and parents. Kids who are neurotypical and a bit behind will catch up but the kids who needed all the face to face interaction they could get in the early years will fall further behind. It's criminal!
oh heck yeah! of all the people negatively impacted, the disabled kids got screwed the worst! Cruel is exactly what it was!
my ASD son (18 yrs old now) functions at the level of a 5 yr old. attempting to do 'remote learning' with him was ridiculous. most of his more severely disabled classmates didn't even bother. Luckily our district let the special ed kids come back, in small groups, two days a week, in spring of '21. its been such a cluster-F.
But this should be a lesson learned. One of the major flaws of the resistance movement was focusing on exceptions to the rules, rather then ending the nonsense rules entirely.
agree. asking to be 'exempt' from a human rights violation is agonizing to watch. but I still am not going to begrudge the 'exception seekers' too much. they were struggling with an intolerable situation same as the rest of us. everyone has their own personal limits of push back.
For the first year I used no medical exemption note, just NO. But by May 2021, life was becoming impossible, that's when I sought my first medical exemption, to support my stronger NO. But I attended as many protest rallies as I could, in many cities, to fight against the entire shebang. I don't want religious people to have exemptions, I want NO ONE to be under such idiotic mandates.
Always remember that slug Stacy abrams smiling like the jabba the hutt she is with a school room of masked children behind her. I’d like to send her a t-shirt with the jabba smiling and kids behind her. I know photoshop. Easy peasy to combine the 2 humanoid images. 🤔.
makes me wanna scream every time I see ANY kid forced to wear a mask. high school kids still wore them, even after they didn't have to. my 17 yr old said that some kids felt good 'hiding' behind them. talk about enabling social anxiety... so sad.

Yes it was worst for them.

Exceptions are NEVER a solution to bad policy.
