“If everyone would wear a mask, this thing would be over…mask deniers are causing the uptick in cases and deaths.” — Peg Laseter Lee
“I’m one of those ‘selfish’ people who don’t wear a mask nor do my kids when they are with me in public. The mask nazis can say what they want about masks, but this is the choice I have made that is best for my kids and I.” — Jennifer Brown
“I feel it should be parents’ choice.” — Temecia Vitiello
“End the mask mandate.” — Tracy Hood
“What are you gonna do, ask a child for ID?” — Stephen T. Galindo
“I wear a mask. Children see it as the norm unless their parents make a big deal out of shooting it down? The county is doing the right thing.” — Shirley Chamberlain
“Completely unnecessary and only further stresses out our children. If you have a medical condition than you should take full precautions like wearing a mask, curbside checkout and home delivery. If you don’t have medical conditions, you shouldn’t be forced to abide by those who do.” — Travis Emerson
“Do you know how hard it is for a child with cerebral palsy to have to wear a mask? Not up for discussion…” — Felicia Bethune Williams
