We, the parents of Putnam County Charter School students, respectfully request that the mandatory masking of children in school be lifted for the 2021-2022 school year.

We believe that as parents, God has entrusted us to make the best health decisions for our children.

There is NO STATUTORY LAW that mandates masks.

There is ZERO long term research on the impacts of masking of children.

A new study, involving over 25,000 school-aged children, shows that masks are harming school children physically, psychologically, and behaviorally, revealing 24 distinct health issues associated with wearing masks.

Frequent mask wearing:

* Is a breeding ground for bacteria
* Increases risk of CO2 poisoning
* Reduces oxygen intake
* Causes increased face touching which subsequently increases the spread of germs from touching of the mask and all other surfaces.
* In addition to the fact that there is no scientific evidence or studies that can confirm the effectiveness of these masks, our children deserve to breathe fresh air, which is vital for immune health. Their mental, emotional and social well-being is being impeded every day they are forced to wear these face coverings

Please join us in signing this petition to ask Putnam County Charter School System Board 2021-2022 school year ~ Let them be optional and the child’s choice to wear or not to wear. Our children deserve better!
