It’s not just right-wingers who are tired of masking children. The future is one-way masking.

The discourse is shifting on school mask mandates and it’s no longer a fringe — or European — belief that the harms associated with masking children at school are greater than the benefits. Now is the time for our increasingly unpopular president to read the writing on the wall and stop endorsing mandatory school masking. As a center-left social democrat interested in maintaining Democratic control of the White House and Congress, I see this as a political imperative.

Increasing numbers of Americans are vaccinated, boosted, and done with Covid bureaucracy — and urgently want life to return to normal for themselves and their children.

Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb — a moderate and trusted voice during the pandemic — recently said removing school mask mandates should be “the first thing that we look at” as epidemiological conditions improve.
