Rejected petition Do not make children wear face masks in school or in class

I want the government to withdraw this from the plan to reopen schools and to ensure children are able to be educated un encumbered by face masks.

More details

There is plethora information on the negative effects of wearing face masks and much science showing how little they do to prevent disease. Children should not have to wear a mask for six hours a day for an indefinite period- this is a deplorable attack on children, their health, education and freedom.
