The Progressive Case For Mask-Free Kids And Schools

By Ajax the Great

(Originally published on my True Spirit of America Party blog)

WARNING:  You may wanna sit down when reading this, as this article will slaughter so many sacred cows that it will lead to the mother of all barbecues!


It's September 2021, back to school time for millions of children and teens, and if your thought we would not still be having this inane and insane masks for kids debate 18 months after the start of the pandemic, you would unfortunately be very wrong indeed.  The debate is greater than ever before, and largely split along party lines (Republicans against forced masking, Democrats in favor) because reasons.  I mean, you KNOW things are bad when Ron and Rand Paul end up sounding like the voice of reason!

The progressive left is VERY foolish to cede the moral high ground to the right on this issue.  And it WILL come back to bite them, perhaps as soon as the 2022 midterms.  Just like it always does eventually.  

There are of course some genuine progressive voices desperately shouting into the wilderness to "Unmask Our Kids" yesterday, but they keep on getting silenced and censored by the thought police.  A prime example is this excellent article (preserved in archive on the Wayback Machine) in Forbes online magazine by a progressive teacher (and founder of Zigazoo) named Zak Ringlestein.  He notes how traumatic and toxic it is to children's mental health to subject them to prolonged forced masking, antisocial distancing, and the whole New Abnormal agenda in general.  And he also notes how utterly classist it is in its effects towards poorer children, if not its intent.  The cowards over at Forbes abruptly took the article down, of course, because well, you already know why.

As we have noted before in previous articles, there is absolutely NO scientific reason to support forcing anyone to wear face masks in general, and that applies a fortiori for children.  Not as PPE, not as source control, not as anything at all beyond mere symbolic window dressing and placebos, since we know now that the COVID virus is truly airborne just like cold and flu viruses.  Not only have mask mandates (in schools or in the community) not done a LICK of good in stopping the virus or even making a noticeable dent in the epidemic curves for anyone in the real world, but for children (who are at less risk from COVID than they are from the flu, and are statistically unlikely to be COVID superspreaders either), masks are likely to be more harmful to their physical and mental health and social development when used regularly for prolonged periods of time.

You really want to reduce airborne virus transmission in schools?  Ventilate, ventilate, ventilate!  If you lack high-tech air system upgrades, don't wait, just open the damn windows and doors.  Problem solved.  Next.

"But we can't do that!  What if there might be an active shooter at some undefined point in the future?" Well, unless all windows and doors are literally bulletproof, which they usually are not, keeping them closed 24/7 is really just security theater.  Kinda like how masks are really just public health theater.  And neither one sees the forest for the trees.

Friendly reminder to adults who are still scared:  N95 or greater masks are currently abundantly available for self-protection, and are at least somewhat effective in that regard if fit-tested and used properly.  And any adults who still feel the need to use them as an extra layer of protection when around children are perfectly free to do so.  Voluntarily.

Clearly, all of these mandates fail the Martian test:  that is, could you explain it to a Martian without sounding like an idiot? (You can't.)  And they also fail the 2030 test:  that is, would you still be willing to follow these mandates in 2030, since the virus is endemic and will almost certainly still be around in 2030, 2040, 2050, and beyond?  And given the long-term health, developmental and economic consequences already baked into the cake from the past 18 months of restrictions, all of these mandates also fail the Iroquois seven generations test as well.

There is nothing at all even remotely leftist or progressive about forcing masks on anyone, especially children.  Unless by "leftist" you really mean totalitarian, and by "progressive" you really mean technocratic, of course.  Nor is it even particularly communitarian either, given how utterly corrosive it is to genuine community, unless of course by "communitarian" you really mean communist or antisocial.  And it is certainly not in any sense utopian, unless by "utopian" you really mean, well, dystopian.

There is nothing green either about producing billions or trillions of disposable "paper" (actually, polypropylene plastic) masks only to see a good chunk of them end up in the Earth's oceans.  Unless by "green" you really mean greenwashing and ecocidal.

And contrary to a very poorly written article in Ms. Magazine of all places a year ago, there is certainly nothing at all feminist about forcing anyone to cover their faces.  Unless by "feminist" you really mean "inadvertently emulating certain countries and groups that one claims to dislike, to one degree or another", and not seeing the irony of it all.

And finally, take a look at the rest of the world.  The USA is one of a very few countries that forces masks on children under the age of 12, let alone as young as two!  And many of those few other countries that did at some point have now since relented (and hopefully repented!), making the USA a rather lonely country in that regard.  But in one way that is sadly not a surprise, given the great American pastime of scapegoating children and teens for adult problems.  And yes, that even includes Florida at the local school district level, with "rebel without a clue" teachers and administrators openly defying their governor, Ron DeSantis, who is doing his very best to put an end to this complete and utter madness once and for all.

Make no mistake, at this point, no one can intellectually honestly say that these mandates are really about science.  They are all about power and control above all else.  And worse, they are ultimately a convenient segway into COVID vaccine mandates for kids as well.  And that, ladies and gentlemen, is truly scary indeed, given how woefully undertested these experimental gene therapy "vaccines" really are, particularly for children.  If there was ever a hill to die on, this absolutely has to be the one!

  1. You know what I believe, Ajax, that they INVENTED COVID, whatever it is, in a laboratory & they RELEASED IT to bring about the chaos & damage that did occur - Just as they invented AIDS, Sars, Ebola, & all the other mysterious diseases that have appeared. They also invented the terrorism which has happened in the US & other parts of the world, from the earliest to the latest, the 911, the Oklahoma, the Waco Waco shyt where they killed children as well as adults, the school shooting, the Boston Marathon deluge - everything - they did it all. They also do all the unnecessary & unfair wars, they pass the unjust laws. They do all evil as 'Satan rules the world & he works through men.' We are seeing the manifestation of Satanic thought & activity unfolding before our very eyes. When I was a child in Catechism the nuns told us, 'You cannot see Satan without dying of fright.' God needs to fortify us to see what men are doing with Satan - whatever Satan is - I think it's the ID or the primitive instinct of men - or else, upon studying more & more deeply what their agenda is, we will die of fright. May God see us through all this, after all, Mother God is more powerful than Satan or men & She will prevail at the end. She is appearing more fully with each day, as men recede through her Power ascending & their bodies failing - the bodies & minds Satan uses to do his work. Glory to Mother God & Victory to her!

    1. Indeed, Rasa, it is looking increasingly likely that the virus was created in a lab by the demonic oligarchy, and then "accidentally" escaped to wreak havoc. Its genetic code appears to be a chimera of a SARS-like bat coronavirus plus so many other viruses that the poor lab animals it was cultured in were also exposed to in their experiments, such as HIV, Ebola, Hepatitis, influenza, and whatever else it was able to swap genes with via recombination. It has genetic sequences that clearly look artificially manipulated and are unlikely to occur in nature. So-called "gain of function" research is banned in nearly every country in the world except China and the USA, and even here it was also banned for a few years before Trump lifted the ban.

      You are correct that nearly all terrorism is also caused by this same demonic oligarchy as well, and whatever is not directly created is typically a result of "blowback" from the actions of that oligarchy as well. We can add the latest group "ISIS-K" to this long list as well, as I read an article recently by the Ron Paul Institute that alleges that even they were created and funded by elements in the US military.

    2. But yes, in the end the forces of good will ultimately prevail, God willing. Amen to that!

  2. multiple school shootings, not done by random individuals - all planned. Terrorism here & there, if you recall was it Las Vegas a few years ago? All done by them. Their terrorism & diseases invented don't always have the degree of trauma they were hoping for, so they keep working on it. What next? And what will Mother God do to prevent them & protect life? We know she is making men extinct, but what else as this is taking along time? She is making women stronger, but this also is frustrating me as they are taking so long. All we can do is hope, pray, write our articles, promote the truth. We are doing what we can.

    1. Indeed, while I think some of these mass shootings are random acts of violence by deeply disturbed individuals, a good chunk if not most of them are most likely planned by the demonic oligarchy who use these nuts as their foot soldiers for their evil agendas. Especially the Vegas shooter, the very worst one of all--to this day no motive has been uncovered and no explanation has been put forth in the official story. I shudder to think what the demonic oligarchs have in store next! Indeed, we are doing what we can to hope, pray, write and promote the truth. The rest is in Mother God's hands.

  3. About ISIS - Notice they were all masked? But if you looked closely under the masks you could see blue eyes on some.

    1. Wow, I did not notice the blue eyes. That eye color implies that at least some of them are probably NOT Arabs or Afghans, but are rather of European descent, and perhaps even American. The plot thickens...
