I genuinely don't understand this.
Briefly the story is that schools will be refused funding if they make masks compulsory because that infringes on the parents' rights.
Aside from the sheer stupidity of the whole thing, how does this infringe on parental rights anymore than saying, say, that children must wear clothes, must turn up on time, etc. etc.
Are they upset because they wanted to tell their child to wear a mask, or because they don't want their child to wear a mask? Masks are a pain to wear but ffs, it's no big deal. (other than the microscopic number of people with a genuine medical reason).
I'm not even talking of whether or not wearing a mask actually helps, but why is a school rule infringing on parents' rights?
Give the patents right to homeschool, which they have in the US, and to stay at home if they don't like it.
People seem to think that having civil rights mean being able to do wtf you like. And that is NOT what it means.
