ANALYSIS\/OPINION:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to imposing mask mandates \u2013 especially for school children \u2013 Democrats simply don\u2019t get it. If President Joe Biden<\/a> and his<\/a> cronies don\u2019t pay more attention to parents and the health care professionals who care for their children, they\u2019re going to set themselves up for an even worse shellacking than the one they suffered in 2010, when they lost 63 seats in the House of Representatives and brought an end to their short-lived era of one-party rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Biden<\/a> said last week his<\/a> administration is \u201cchecking\u201d to see whether or not he<\/a> has the legal authority to order a nationwide mask mandate for school children. \u201cI don\u2019t believe I do [have that power], thus far,\u201d he<\/a> told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. \u201cWe\u2019re checking that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That sounds suspiciously similar to what he said two weeks ago regarding the CDC-promulgated eviction moratorium \u2013 right before his administration had the CDC issue a \u201cnew\u201d eviction moratorium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what\u2019s a Supreme Court ruling when you\u2019re a radical Democrat convinced you know best? Certainly, nothing to worry about, at least not enough to prevent you from doing something you don\u2019t believe you have the legal authority to do. After all, to paraphrase (a most likely apocryphal quote) from Joseph Stalin, how many divisions does John Roberts have at his disposal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first: Despite the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, parents know that school children should not be forced to wear masks as a condition of attending class in person. The CDC\u2019s new guidance isn\u2019t based on any scientific study proving that wearing masks reduces Covid transmission in children, as Drs. Marty Makary and H. Cody Meissner pointed out in a recent op-ed, there has been no scientific study with data to prove the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, explain Drs. Makary and Meissner, not only is there not any proof that forcing children to wear masks will help them; there actually is proof that forcing children to wear masks will hurt them: \u201c[Children] who have myopia can have difficulty seeing because the mask fogs their glasses \u2026 Masks can cause severe acne and other skin problems. The discomfort of a mask distracts some children from learning. By increasing airway resistance during exhalation, masks can lead to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. In March, Ireland\u2019s Department of Health announced it won\u2019t require masks in schools because they \u2018may exacerbate anxiety or breathing difficulties for some students.\u2019 Some children compensate for such difficulties by breathing through their mouths. Chronic and prolonged mouth breathing can alter facial development. It is well-documented that children who mouth-breathe because adenoids blocks their nasal airways can develop a mouth deformity and elongated face.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
