Why this petition matters

Started by Brandy Wedeking

Due to the current quarantine policy (no quarantine necessary if masked when in contact with someone masked & COVID positive), Iowa school districts have been incentivized to require children to wear face masks all day despite little to no efficacy of cloth masks, negligible COVID spread amongst children, negative effects on social development, & possible negative respiratory health effects. 

We ask Governor Kim Reynolds to implement a guideline making masks optional for all students in the state, considering the following:

With the above taken into account, we conclude public officials should not be mandating mask use, a preventative measure with little to no efficacy, as masks pose a higher potential threat to our children's well being than the actual COVID-19 virus itself! 

We urge Governor Reynolds to require school districts to leave the health decision of masking children to each individual family, not to be mandated by any local school district in the state of Iowa. Let our children breathe fresh air!
