COVID-19
SCHOOLS MUST
REOPEN FOR THE SAKE
OF THE FUTURE
SCHOOLS CAN REOPEN
New COVID-19 vaccines offer families hope that everyday life, including school, can get back to normal.
Vaccines likely will not be available for most students this school year. The good news is that reopening schools for in-person learning does not seem to significantly increase community transmission of the virus.
Schools provide more than just academics to children and adolescents. In addition to reading, writing and math, students learn social and emotional skills, get exercise, and have access to mental health and other support services.
To prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, there are a number of safety steps schools should take. No single one will completely eliminate COVID-19 risk, but together they can greatly reduce it. Key steps include: Social Distancing, Face Coverings, Hand Hygiene, Testing & Temp checks, Cleaning & Disinfecting.
Here at the John Frank Foundation, we believe that masks are very important but we do not think the government has the right to force people to wear masks. We strongly believe that public safety is one of the most important aspects of a community or society so long as it does not infringe upon personal liberties and freedom.
People should have the option to wear or to not wear a mask if they please. However, this means that private businesses can have the right to refuse service to someone that isn't wearing a mask.
We will continue to advocate for the personal liberties described above and if you feel like you've been wronged in regards to this issue, feel free to reach out.
