Should schools require masks? Most parents say yes — but there are deep political divisions on the question
As the highly contagious delta variant of COVID-19 continues to spread, will your child need to wear a mask to attend school? It depends on where you live.
Two Texas judges on Tuesday allowed local leaders in Bexar County, home to San Antonio, and Dallas to have mask mandates for now at least. In Louisiana, a Republican-leaning state where COVID-19 cases have been flaring, the state’s mask mandate on all indoor facilities runs through the month. One survey of school districts across the country last month found a 40%/40% split of schools with and without mask requirements, with a remaining 20% undecided.
Nearly two-thirds of parents say their child’s school should make unvaccinated students and staff wear a mask on school premises, it added. At this point, kids below age 12 are not eligible for vaccination. Children above that age can receive the Pfizer-BioNTech PFE, -3.90% shot. Parents’ views on their children and vaccines When asked if their child would get their shots, the poll showed the parents in the “wait and see” category increased from June to July, going from 34% to 41%.
