Perhaps one tack you could take is to point out the OSHA guidelines for employees and what OSHA has to say about masks, (how they are considered personal protection equipment and regulated - to the extent they need to be prescribed by doctors. Also, consider that OSHA insists employers are responsible for any ill effects to the employee. Children are at the very least, as valuable as employees, aren't they?

A poster named Tewdryg pointed this out:

Tewdryg 2 points 5 hours ago +2 / -0 The science for respirators doesn't change. Read OSHA's long standing regulations below:

OSHA defines the term “respirator” as Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and regarding the face mask guidelines, it most often refers to the N95 face mask. OSHA has issued COVID-19 guidelines that pertain to these respirators.

OSHA does not consider cloth face coverings (whether homemade or commercially produced) to be Personal Protection equipment (PPE). This does not exempt businesses from liability to injury as a result of this policy. Cloth face coverings don’t protect employees from airborne infectious agents because of their loose fit and lack of seal or adequate filtration. https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/covid-19/covid-19-faq.html

Furthermore, OSHA references that the CDC reported that more research is needed on the scope of their protection and filtration levels. https://ohsonline.com/articles/2020/11/19/osha-updates-faq-to-include-comment-on-cloth-face-masks.aspx

The OSHA “General Rule” states employers must create a workplace from perceived risks that are causing or are probably going to make demise, or genuine physical damage his representatives.

This provision thereto specifies that every business should follow word related well-being and well-being measures proclaimed under OSHA.

“Human beings must breathe oxygen . . . to survive, and begin to suffer adverse health effects when the oxygen level of their breathing air drops below [19.5 percent oxygen]. Below 19.5 percent oxygen . . . , air is considered oxygen-deficient. At concentrations of 16 to 19.5 percent, workers engaged in any form of exertion can rapidly become symptomatic as their tissues fail to obtain the oxygen necessary to function properly (Rom, W., Environmental and Occupational Medicine, 2nd ed.; Little, Brown; Boston, 1992). Increased breathing rates, accelerated heartbeat, and impaired thinking or coordination occur more quickly in an oxygen-deficient environment. Even a momentary loss of coordination may be devastating to a worker if it occurs while the worker is performing a potentially dangerous activity, such as climbing a ladder. Concentrations of 12 to 16 percent oxygen cause tachypnea (increased breathing rates), tachycardia (accelerated heartbeat), and impaired attention, thinking, and coordination (e.g., Ex. 25-4), even in people who are resting.

At oxygen levels of 10 to 14 percent, faulty judgment, intermittent respiration, and exhaustion can be expected even with minimal exertion (Exs. 25-4 and 150). Breathing air containing 6 to 10 percent oxygen results in nausea, vomiting, lethargic movements, and perhaps unconsciousness. Breathing air containing less than 6 percent oxygen produces convulsions, then apnea (cessation of breathing), followed by cardiac standstill. These symptoms occur immediately. Even if a worker survives the hypoxic insult, organs may show evidence of hypoxic damage, which may be irreversible (Exs. 25-4 and 150; also reported in Rom, W. [see reference in previous paragraph]).

OSHA further states the following:

“In some cases, respirator use itself can cause illness and injury to employees. There are a number of physiological burdens that are associated with the use of certain types of respirators. The weight of the respirator, breathing resistances during both normal operation and if the air-purifying element is overloaded, and rebreathing exhaled air from respirator "dead space" can all increase the physiologic burden of respirator use (Exs. 113, 22-1, 64-427). Job and workplace conditions, such as the length of time a respirator must be worn, the level of physical exertion required of a respirator user, and environmental conditions, can also affect the physiological burden (Exs. 113, 64-363). In addition, workers who wear glasses or hearing aids may have problems achieving appropriate fit with some respirator face pieces.” https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/federalregister/1998-01-08

OSHA standards for respirators have not gone away. They were in my view concealed from the public for this Plandemic to take hold.

In fact, surgical masks are regulated under 21 CFR 878.4040. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is revoking the Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for non-NIOSH-approved disposable respirators (revocation effective July 6, 2021) and the EUAs for decontamination and bioburden reduction systems (revocation effective June 30, 2021). As of the effective date of the revocations, these devices will no longer be authorized for use by health care personnel in health care settings. These actions are in follow-up to the May 27, 2021, letter in which the FDA recommended a transition away from non-NIOSH-approved disposable respirators as well as from reusing decontaminated or bioburden-reduced disposable respirators.

This means face cloths and bandannas are not regulated and NOT approved. This means there is liability for any employer allowing these not approved masks.
