I came across this article today from the Free Press newsletter, and I could not believe it.

The Elizabeth Ann Clune Montessori School of Ithaca, set amid a pastoral idyll of rolling fields, a pond, and dandelion-stippled meadows, is just a few minutes’ ride from Ithaca College and Cornell University. Serving more than 220 students from preschool through eighth grade, the school features classrooms bathed in natural light, populated with the offspring of professors, doctors, and lawyers. And since the fall of 2020 through today, those children must be masked during class and on the playground, and have been barred from speaking during lunch.

I’m at a loss for words. The only kind of science these school administrators are following is junk science. Masks do not stop the spread of respiratory viruses. Period.

If ever there was an example where a school’s kids’ parents should band together and demand change, this is it. The fact that they haven’t is mind-blowing.
