Parents and medical experts are demanding that US schools stop forcing children to wear 'ineffective' face masks as COVID-19 positivity rates continue to decline and studies have shown mask mandates are detrimental to psychosocial health and academic success.Research also indicates there is 'a minimal reduction in COVID transmission with masks in schools' and minimal risk of deaths - while parents have repeatedly voiced that face coverings pose a greater hinderance to learning than they provide protection from the virus. Health experts also argue the current trajectory suggests Americans should be able to return to normality this spring, as infection rates continue to go down. In response, some states have even moved to remove restrictions, such as masking in the classroom.
