Outrage

Our state does not mandate masks in schools. 
Under the best conditions, teaching during a pandemic is difficult.
Teachers try to keep up with who is here, who is absent.
Reality sets in when our kids are hospitalized for no good reason except for
Angry parents who demand that a piece of cloth on the face infringes on their 
     rights.
God, I’m so tired of this. What about the immunocompromised who need the 
     protection?
Everyone is selfish these days. So much anger over a vaccination and piece of 
     cloth.

America suffers from an extreme lack of education! So many people are not bright enough to understand pandemics do not have waivers!
