Students in the Clark County school district have been struggling to learn and engage with their teachers during the pandemic. While parents were supportive of “two weeks to slow the spread,” they did not anticipate that would turn into a year of learning loss, and the tragic deaths of 24 Clark County students to suicide.
We have learned a lot about COVID-19 over the last year, and medical studies show that this disease, even the Delta variant, is not deadly to children. The CDC reports that for the week of July 31 the rate of hospitalization with Covid for children 5 to 17 was 0.5 per 100,000, which would amount to roughly 250 patients in the entire United States.
In spite of these numbers, Governor Sisolak has decreed that every child should be in a mask at school. This mandate does not follow science. There are currently no conclusive studies that suggest that masks reduce COVID transmission in children. A North Carolina study conducted before vaccines were available found not a single case of student-to-teacher transmission when 90,000 students were in school. In fact, there are studies that show how masks can lead to real physical harm like headaches, anxiety, acne, impaired learning, drowsiness, fatigue and much more. Much to Forgive
Some children do not mind masks. Others really struggle. Parents, not the Governor, have the right to make medical decisions that impact the health and wellbeing of their children. We do not need to co-parent with Governor Sisolak and we have the right to decide what is best for our children concerning masking, testing and vaccination status.
According to Dr Makary, a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine “Any child who wants to wear a mask should be free to do so. But forcing them to make personal, health and developmental sacrifices for the sake of adults...is abusive.
To be clear, Power2Parent is not against masking, testing or vaccines. We support choice. We want parents to be the decision makers when it comes to these important issues.
The foundation of a free society is choice!
