Now that we have read evidence in The Journal’s Oct. 6 “face mask mandate” article, it’s time to get smart!

In the COVID-19 masking debate, the virus cases in non-masking Colorado school districts are “significantly higher – about 20% higher” – than masked districts.

Because more than three-quarters of Colorado children now attend a district with a mask mandate, shouldn’t we do what works to keep our kids and school staffs healthy?

Parents, talk to your school board members, and make your voice heard!
