Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was praised by conservatives last week following a gesture directed toward high school students at a press conference. \u201cYou do not have to wear those masks, I mean please take them off. Honestly, it\u2019s not doing anything, and we\u2019ve got to stop with this COVID theater,\u201d said DeSantis.<\/span><\/p>\n

After two years of wearing masks in stores, schools, workplaces, and transportation systems, it finally seems that the COVID theater in San Diego is coming to a close once and for all<\/a>. The most recent development of institutional unmasking has come from the San Diego Unified School District and their decision to drop indoor mask mandates after spring break.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, zero-risk children will finally be able to learn amongst their fellow classmates and teachers without a piece of ineffective cloth over their faces. Frankly, this decision by the SDUSD was long overdue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the district still recommends masking despite not requiring it, and take-home COVID tests will be distributed to students before returning post-break. \u201cThis strategy worked extremely well before Winter Break, and we are grateful to have enough tests to be able to repeat the process,\u201d the district said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision came only one day after the CDC recognized San Diego County as \u201clow risk\u201d for transmitting the coronavirus.<\/span><\/p>\n

In forthcoming years, as we reflect upon and learn from our COVID pandemic, Democrats will have to justify their platform of mandating masks for kids as young as five years old. I suspect that doing so will only become more difficult as time goes on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
