Instead, I\u2019m sitting at my desk crying because we just got word from our superintendent that masks will not be required in our school district this year because the school has to respect the choice of parents that don\u2019t want to have their kids in a mask.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>And that\u2019s just the most bull***t reasoning, and I\u2019m so over it. Because there is no such thing as a personal choice in a pandemic. Because I have no choice now to send my child to school in a way that will be safe for them. Because my child\u2019s mask will do a great job of protecting the other kids around her. But I have no choice not to have my kid coughed on by her classmates.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>I am so tired of this \u201cI\u2019ll do what works for me, you do what works for you\u201d take on a public health crisis.
