There’s really no excuse for outright banning masks except chud “freedom.”

Optics and aesthetics would be my guess?
The public really doesn’t like being reminded of public health risks that could be easily mitigated.
Many liberals also know on some level that the pandemic which killed millions and is still active was not mitigated by 'their good guys' at all, and they aren't fond of being reminded of that uncomfortable truth
So rather than confront it, they bury it
It also reminds people that they were too weak willed to keep masking during the height of the pandemic let alone now. Subconscious "what you think you're better than me?" Type shit
100%
The sheer selfishness exhibited by your average liberal has never been more blatant to me.
I think you're USian, right? You could probably make a pretty good argument that it would violate the American with Disabilities Act. 🤞
Not from the US, sadly. I'll gonna talk to lawyers about my rights here. I have no idea what the law is.
Not from the US, sadly
Absolutely deranged sentence
Seriously though, this sucks comrade, I hope you can find a way to continue not being a bioweapon.
Oh, dang. Hopefully there's some equivalent.
This is a good suggestion to any USians. I’ve been trying to formulate the best argument for my own work situation, this may be a route.
I would basically just ask google what title your [place of work (hospital, school, etc)] falls under the ADA, to see if it applies.
Here's an ADA faq with a link to their knowledgebase at the bottom.
Uuuuuuugh
This makes me so fucking angry as well, man.
Aside from optics, I can’t really understand the point of this. The general public just doesn’t want to be reminded of the public health risks that are plaguing every day life.
that's such bullshit, i really hope they back down about it. would love to know their reasoning for the no mask rule but it's most likely just that mask equals bad vibes 
Ya they made no justification except for relationships with students. Frankly no student or parent complained, and I feel like I get along well with my classes.
sounds like they're just coming up with any excuse to try pushing it through. you the only one still masking? there's no world where students would have to see the bottom half of your face to build relationships with you, they're definitely overblowing it.
"It's vital that you improve test scores and maintain a positive relationship with your students!"
"In particular, that you are the vector that makes them test 100% positive for COVID"
Don't you guys have a union? Isn't this an OSHA violation?
Yes and not sure. My union doesn't seem to give a fuck, though. But it's early.
Just an attempt to stamp any leftists out of the education system.
I swear to god these people are servants of Moloch or Nurgle or something. Like holy shit are you just pro-disease as a concept?
You said not American but if you're Canadian I can talk to the organizer at my union Hall to see if he has any ideas
