<p class="p1">Parents are speaking out against the return of indoor mask mandates for students as a California school district reinstates the rule.</p>
<p class="p1">Parents <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/california-school-district-masking-parents-outraged-insanity"><span class="s1">told</span></a> Fox News Digital their feelings about the mask rule, and a grandmother from Massachusetts said it was a situation of “delirium.”</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;This is an insanity, a delirium,&#8221; said the <span class="s2">grandmother</span>, who asked for anonymity, about the act of making students wear masks. &#8220;The loss of education in the last two years, added to the mental stresses of masking — my grandkids who are school-age said they never knew if someone was smiling at them or not — is already unacceptable.&#8221;</p>
<p class="p1">A mom from the same state also discussed her thoughts on mask-wearing.</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;My children are five, seven, and nine,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They have been impacted by this, being so young when all of this started.”</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;The most important years of learning are pre-K through 3rd grade. We pulled our kids out of our public school system and put them in Catholic school,” she said, noting that one of her children has a “significant” language and speech disability, and mask-wearing made it more difficult for him to learn.</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;How is a child supposed to learn to speak correctly when he can&#8217;t see lips — and they can&#8217;t see his?” she asked.</p>
<p class="p1">Wayne Slattery Jr. lives in Reading, Massachusetts. While he doesn&#8217;t have kids, he has seen how making children wear masks has affected them.</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;It’s outrageous to be masking children, who are the least vulnerable [to COVID],&#8221; he said, adding, “Total over-reach by the government.”</p>
<p class="p1">A grandfather from Iowa told the outlet, &#8220;I am totally against this. It is the parents who should decide for their child, not the government.”</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;No one wants to wear a mask,&#8221; Karen Tait Draper, a grandmother from Massachusetts, told Fox News Digital. &#8220;But if the numbers indicate more COVID cases are a problem again in schools, then it would not be a bad idea to put the masks back on.”</p>
<p class="p1">A college student in Greensboro, North Carolina, told the outlet, “We just can’t go back.”</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;I hated learning via Zoom, and I still don’t recognize students I’ve been in class with for months — now that we aren’t wearing masks. We just cannot go back,&#8221; he pressed.</p>
<p class="p1">A New York parent said, &#8220;It is a personal decision, I recognize that. And there are plenty of opinions on this,” adding, “so if parents want their kids to wear masks, that&#8217;s up to them. The rest of the student body shouldn&#8217;t be forced to wear masks simply for the sake of a few. That&#8217;s my feeling.”</p>
<p class="p1">The San Diego Unified School District <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mask-mandates-start-coming-back-to-california"><span class="s1">decided</span></a> to reinstate its indoor mask mandate for students and employees starting this week. As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/they-can-opt-not-to-return-san-diego-school-board-president-speaks-on-return-of-mask-mandates-for-kids"><span class="s1">reported</span></a>, school board president Dr. Sharon Whitehurst-Payne said that children “really should wear the mask.”</p>
<p class="p1">“They should just make it known that they don’t feel comfortable, and at that point, just not return [to school],” Whitehurst-Payne said.</p>
<p class="p1">Several <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mask-mandates-start-coming-back-to-california"><span class="s1">colleges</span></a> in California are also bringing back indoor mask mandates.</p>
