My little nephew went to orientation for pre-school today which is run through the county and informed me that they will have to wear masks. I said to my brother "are you kidding me?" He said "no." I am so angry but am unable to get through to my siblings. These babies are innocent and do not deserve this BS. They are not my kids and I would like to think I would do things differently. Regardless, I am at a loss and it absolutely breaks my heart. God help us all, especially the innocent children.

I agree but they think I am a conspiracy nut.
I feel ur pain. Its shocking how many people STILL drink the Kool-Aide, even AFTER CDC rule/guidance changes, testimony from experts … it shocks the senses.
You are not a conspiracy nut, you are a conspiracy analyst.
Send them all the peer-reviewed papers you can, then it's truly on them and you can unapologetically say that you did the best you could.
Thank you
This is not just about compliance, it is about brain damage to these kids and delayed communication skills, not to mention increased risk for skin and respiratory infections. Kids need to see faces or they are developmentally stunted. Here is an article that comes with receipts/study references. The longer this goes on, the more evidence is coming in that this is all crap - and it is very damaging. The county is knuckling under because they are tied to their funding which is demanding this policy for Head Start. Not worth it. If your brother is not willing to look at the evidence, then I have to conclude that virtue signaling and being part of the narrative is more important than his child. Sorry - harsh but true.
As someone that has worn a surgical mask for years because of my profession, I now am suffering from the long term effects of chronic low O2 and chronic high levels of CO2.
Masking Children: Tragic, Unscientific, and Damaging
Just make sure it is a blue and yellow recycled mask (to fight climate change as well so the kid will learn to always support the current thing.
I want to scream with you!
Go ahead and scream! To avoid scaring other people, you can scream in the shower or in the car . . . just saying ; )
The kiddos are masked here in Salt Lake County.
Wtf seriously? How? I don’t believe they are in Utah County
Babysit your nephew instead of pre-school
It's really weird - I live in one of the bluest of cities in a deep blue state (NM) and NONE of the schools are forcing the masks now.
Do what you can. Fakemaskworldwide.com will let your nephew know you will comfort him in his time of need, assuming you can't just get him out of there yourself. My niece, 8 years old now, withdrew from school entirely and is unschooled. She has a lot more fun, she goes through books better than the kids her age in school, and she enjoys them more, because they're books she chooses instead of politically-driven choices for the lowest common denominator. Good luck!
Unschooling is awesome 👍
Do a search for info proving the harm masks do to developing children and the severe drop in i.q. points as a result.
I can do it but I can't make my brother read it. I will definitely try, thank you.
Same happening in my fam. No reasoning with the child's mother. Cold fury on my part.
The CDC states to not put masks on pets or use disinfectants.

Ours did too, last year for a little bit. We did what we could – emailing, tried organizing. Unfortunately, not a lot of people in our area cared.
But, I emailed them several times. They NEVER addressed the facts I sent, just referred me to some folks at the local hospital, who were on the school board.
Thankfully it didn't last very long.
We did tell our kid that he was ok to take it off and ignore it. He did sometimes.
I say that to say this – if you live in the same district/school system, email everyone you can. Email the legislature. Email the school board. City council, etc. Our school board was selected by the city council. If they are there, threaten to vote them out. If your board is elected, vote them out.
