Ridgewood NJ, Noting the significant decline of statewide COVID-19 metrics, Governor Phil Murphy on Monday announced that masks and facial coverings will no longer be mandated for students, staff, or visitors in schools and childcare centers effective March 7, 2022.

Ridgewood Schools Superintendent Thomas Gorman said in a letter sent out to parents on Monday, shortly after Murphy’s announcement. “The district may be able to pivot to a mask-optional policy for all staff, students, and visitors, as originally planned prior to the start of the 2021-2022 school year,” the letter said. It said the school had been awaiting official guidance in order to craft its own mask policy.

The district will likely make the switch to mask-optional policies. Recent public blowups over the inconstancies of the mask policies  seem to have pressured  Cottage place to take a more flexible posture .

  1. Sure.
    Damage is done.
    These kids are scarred for life.

    Time to Mea Culpa, pat ourselves on the back and move on while loudly proclaiming what a great job we did it fer da kidz…

  2. The damage is done. Your children know that you value conformity more than than their well being. That you can be made to believe and follow the absurdities. It took some words from some politicians for you to finally do what was right for them.

  3. Do you mean to tell me that the cloth masks, that prevent a grand total of zero transmission or infection protection and that cause harm to kids, will no longer be required in a month?
    Knowing that these are pure performance art and do zero actual good as fact, isn’t it a bit silly to require them? We require students to virtue signal at a cost to their health and well being.
    People are so stupid.
    What kind of incompetent idiot would require that kids wear masks that do no good, but cause harm? What kind of idiot parents would simply nod their head and go along. You have all been played and are complete idiots. If you got your kids jabbed, you are a double idiot that cannot assess risk or use a calculator.

  5. I am not a Gorman fan by any measurement but his communication about masks seemed fair and levelheaded. And I don’t think kids are scarred for life. I can see them adjusting very easily to the new optional mask reality. They are scarred through for life with unnecessary vaccines that parents will terrorize them with every few months now.
    Time to go back to some sort of normalcy and not listen to the buffoons’ whose only goals are money and power. This BS has been exposed as clear as light of day.

  6. “Do you mean to tell me that the cloth masks, that prevent a grand total of zero transmission or infection protection”
    Incorrect as usual.
    “According to the study, surgical masks reduced the odds of testing positive for COVID-19 by about 66 percent compared to no masks at all. People who reported wearing N95 respirators while indoors were about 83 percent less likely to test positive compared with those who said they never wore a mask inside, the CDC found.
    The odds of infection were 56 percent lower for people wearing a cloth mask, but the findings were not statistically significant.”

  7. These kids will be F-ed up for life, between the Muzzling, Diminished Social Interaction, Authoritarian Control, Lack of Freedom and Individuality and a steady diet of Socialist Indoctrination (not to mention being told that they were born Racist due to their skin color).
