Student Masking Should be Optional

It's well past time for schools to make masking a personal, optional choice. 

If there is one thing we have learned through this pandemic, it is that parents need to be empowered to make decisions that are best for their children. School leaders need to listen and respect parents and students. This respect seems to have been lost over the last year. Let's begin the process of rebuilding a fractured relationship between parents and school leaders by ending the mandates immediately, and committing to a future that puts students, parents, and individual liberties at the forefront of our public education system.
