My daughter’s (2nd grade) classmate tested positive. She sits at his lunch table. They made her and the other students at the table stay home pending a neg test on x date, after 2 days of still going to school after the “exposure”. However, they didn’t make her two sisters, who are in 3rd grade stay home, which is hilarious to me… What I need help with, is info. When I approach the school about this, I need informational ammo. Reputable studies about asymptomatic spread being false, masks not working, pcr false positives. If anyone can please link some in the comments, it would be very helpful. Thanks

My approach would be different- have a sit-down with the principal just to highlight the stupidity, and propose that they have a new policy: stay home if you have symptoms. (Don't tell them it's the longstanding, status quo, old policy, just point out that it lines up with their incentives to have more kids in school.)
Use any facts (for example, tests are fake) to support the new policy, not to prove their old policy is dumb.
My experience is that school officials will never succumb to facts that prove them wrong, but will sometimes take initiative and demonstrate leadership when it furthers their interests with spoon-fed talking points. Good luck!
And long-term, work with other parents to get a co-op school and call it homeschooling.
