I can only speak for myself, but I don’t conform to your statements above. Surely I’m not alone.
I want to see schools opened.
I oppose state and federal mask mandates, but if a school wants to mandate them, that’s their business.
One of the big takeaways for me from COVID is that we should be doing more as a rule to consider airflow and ventilation in all public spaces. I’ve not gone to great lengths to validate my instinct with data, but I strongly suspect doing so would result in a significant decrease in the spread of many airborne illnesses. Schools should absolutely work to improve in this area.
I oppose mandatory contact tracing, but if an individual wants to opt in to one of the schemes, by all means go for it! I wouldn’t even be philosophically opposed to a scheme implemented and/or “blessed” by a government - as long as it’s opt-in.
> None of these people care about safety, they just want a babysitter to get their annoying kids out of their hair for 8 hours.
Yeah, about that… we homeschool. Our children have never been enrolled in a government school, and they will never be - with the possible exception of is they decide they want to be and have a reasonable justification for it.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t have opinions about government policy.
