GOP Governors Say 'Not Happening Here' After Maryland School Implements N-95 Mask Mandate

Update (1530ET): The actions of one Maryland school - mandating n-95 masks after a tiny outbreak of COVID - has prompted fierce criticism from at least ttwo Republican governors.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it’s “not going to happen in Texas.”

Sarah Huckabee Sanders wrote on X:

“Rest assured that as long as I’m Governor, Arkansas will not force our kids to wear masks in school.”

Presumably, the school has not had a chance to read the latest studies

• Masks Had No Effect On COVID Cases Among Children: Study

• UK Study Finds "No Evidence" Face Masks Protect Vulnerable Against COVID

• Watch: Fauci Squirms As CNN Anchor Confronts Him With Data Showing Masks Don't Work

But then again, 'science' is match for ideology and religious zealotry.

As Summit News' Steve Watson detailed earlier, an elementary school in Maryland has reinstated mandatory mask requirements, as Joe Biden appeared in front of the press wearing a face covering Tuesday.

Rosemary Hills Elementary School in Silver Spring, a wealthy DC suburb, has brought back the mask mandate for students and staff, and added that the coverings should be N95 masks.

The school sent out a letter informing parents they have taken the decision after just THREE students tested positive for COVID.

“Additional KN95 masks have been distributed and students and staff in identified classes or activities will be required to mask while in school for the next 10 days, except while eating or drinking. Masks will become options again following the 10-day period,” the letter states.

We’ve heard that one before.

“At-home rapid test kids will be sent home and made available for students,” Principal Irwin Kennedy further notes, adding that CDC guidance decrees that testing should be done “5 days after an exposure (starting day 6)” or at such time as symptoms occur.

“We will continue to reinforce good hand washing and follow cleaning and disinfection procedures,” the letter further states.

The move comes as Joe Biden donned a face diaper as he arrived at a White House gathering, before removing it altogether.
