How long have you been waiting to see something like THIS? Yesterday, the Washington Post, of all places, ran a story headlined, “These Schools Did Less To Contain Covid. Their Students Flourished.”

Flourished! By doing LESS! You read that right. Hades has frozen over, or something.

The article drives an anecdotal stake through the demonic heart of school mask mandates.

It reports that “thousands of school districts — typically small ones in conservative-leaning counties” re-opened fast, stayed open full-time, and eschewed mask mandates in favor of recommendations. And, the article suggests, students in open schools did better academically than students in closed, mandated schools. Just as you would expect. And they didn’t experience Covid outbreaks or deaths or whatever.

WaPo stopped short of drawing the ultimate conclusion, the strongly implied opposing conclusion: that students in closed mandate schools SUFFERED academically, for no benefit in Covid stats. WaPo must feel SAYING IT would just be too much, too soon. But corporate media is clearly trying to shut down school masking, which is still the hottest issue activating previously apolitical people.
