Stop the tyranny!!! Even though I do not reside in L&C County I believe the tyranny must be stopped in its tacks and this plandemic is a poster child for action across America.

no children between the ages of 0-17 have died from Covid-19 in Montana. Okay, so we're going to sit back and wait? according to PENN State Health News, "Social isolation during the pandemic can push youngsters with underlying mental health issues "over the edge". Yes we have all been dealing with this global health pandemic, that is correct. according to Penn State Health News, "suicide is the second leading cause of death among people aged 10 to 34 in the United States." Okay, what does this have to do with wearing a mask? There are stage 2 fire restrictions as well, should we take down our forrest service because they told us what to do? Governor Greg Gianforte and Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen have urged our Montana superintendents and trustee's to keep masking, "optional, voluntary and a family choice." These people aren't health experts, they are trying to do something that is out of their jurisdiction, why would you listen to them? I'm confused. many of our own children have suffered greatly do to Covid-19 related mandates in the past year. Not true, our kiddos are fine, kids are resilient, it's not the mandates, it's the pandemic in general that has and is still causing great suffering. We all have to deal with it, we all have to deal with life, so deal with it, don't just sweep it under the rug and pretend it's gone, because guess what it's not! Our East Helena Board Members must remember their oath of service to the citizens of this community and not to the CDC, Lewis & Clark Public Health or any other outside organization serving outside interests separate of the individuals in this district. The board members oath to service and first priority is health and safety of the kids in school. We all agree there is a global pandemic correct? Why in gods creation would the school board even consider putting our kids health and safety at risk, even the slightest risk? I'm extremely c

It's not the mask, it's the pandemic causing not-normal circumstances, we all have to deal with it. All pandemics going back through history last for 10 years, you might as well get used it now. Please mask your kid and stop spreading virus droplets all over our school.

It's not tyranny, it's looking out for your community. Freedom to choose to build a fire during stage 2 fire restrictions? Stop the spread!!

Our kids need to be able to go to school in a normal setting. Right now our kids are not excited for school because they do not know what they will be walking into. This has caused unneeded stress for our children!

Please keep mask optional, each child has different circumstances and if the parents feel more comfortable with one that it is their right but forcing children to wear one all day shouldn't be required.
