Ridgewood NJ, since the mask mandate and consistency of its application has been in the news (FOX NEWS) lately , here is the latest from AP News on children and masks:
Children of all ages need to see their fellow human beings’ expressions in order to be able to interact richly and wholly. Yet we are cavalierly denying our children these crucial opportunities for social, emotional, and intellectual engagement—undermining both their happiness and their potential in the process.
And for what? Kids’ chances of surviving Covid—whether by recovering from it or not catching it at all—have been 99.999 percent nationally, 99.999 percent in states with school mask mandates, and 99.999 percent in states without school mask mandates. Maybe it’s past time to favor natural human interaction over extreme risk aversion, stop prioritizing the well-being of adults over the well-being of children, and let our kids take off their suffocating and breathe in the crisp air of freedom.
How will the anti mask Ridgewood parents get attention? Get up in front of the BOE and cameras and announce “you work for me”. I am sure that their woke kids will behave in a similar manner at home and school.
Probably moving to curriculum. Somehow all related.
the school system works for the residents of Ridgewood , look at your tax bill if you have an doubt
Funny, the pro mask people never show up at BOE members. They hide behind their computers waiting to attack people from behind their white picket fences. If you want to see how arrogant and petulant they really are, go on Ridgewood Free Speech. An entertaining display of grandeur and absolute lunacy loaded with nastiness. Great look for that group.

I can only hope my kids grow up learning to stand up for their rights versus being told what to do by their political party and big government. It’s a shame so many are so weak.

75% of states and most of Western Europe don’t put these restrictions kids, have had no worse outcomes, and yet you believe the people speaking out about this are attention grabbers? You’re right, there is nothing better that we can teach our children than to constantly obey authority and ignore widespread evidence of an ineffective tool that causes severe social and emotional challenges in our youth.
Murphy just couldn’t do it. He just had to push it out a month to March. You are all idiots.
Just laugh at all these stupid people who wear their muzzles and touch it at least 3 times per minute with their dirty hands.
The only ones I feel sorry for is kids whos stupid parents are forcing them to wear a muzzle that does absolutely NOTHING to stop the spread of covid but does cause direct harm by depriving kids of oxygen and making them inhale all the toxic chemicals that were used to make those masks in China.
So the question is, will #KarenLaub now beg to go back on FoxNews and try and take credit for it all?
Gov Murphy must be reading the Ridgewood Blog, dropped the mask mandate right after this posted
