Summary:

We are petitioning the Upson-Lee School Board to repeal the mandate of masks for students, faculty and staff based on numerous concerns, some of which include the following: Health risks associated with wearing masks given that masks are not benign, the spirit of fear within the student body that it fosters, the fact that the parents right and duty to make a choice for their child's best interest has been removed, the increased anxiety level generated that negatively impacts a learning environment, the decrease in development of social skills due to loss of facial expression, and obstacles for the hearing impaired.

Action:

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, AS CONCERNED PARENTS/VOTERS OF THE UPSON COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT URGE THE SCHOOL BOARD TO REPEAL THE MASK MANDATE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
