Editorial: About that no-mask, no-returning-to-campus rule: Just kidding (via latimesopinion)
The instructions from the state of California on masks at schools were clear and firm, until they suddenly weren’t. And as a result, public health officials have now instilled uncertainty, lack of confidence and quite possibly a certain amount of chaos on campus.
It was the kind of firm statewide rulemaking on schools that had been lacking for too many months. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the state had told schools when they couldn’t reopen, but not when they wouldto reopen. Districts that were struggling with unions reluctant to go back to campus and with groups of parents with conflicting desires could have used clear, decisive rules from the state. Now, finally, they had them.
And in the end, why bother having an absolute mask rule without an absolute plan for enforcement? In essence, the state is leaving schools to do whatever they think is best on masks, which it shouldn’t do.
