Father of four, Matt Walsh speaks at the Nashville School Board against the mask mandate for children.
Do any of you know what sort of psychological damage we do to children by forcing them to cover their faces? Teaching them that the air is toxic, that everyone around them is sick. Have you wondered about the health effects of forcing kids to breathe through sweat and spit and dirt-soaked rags every single day? What about learning to read and they can’t see the teacher enunciating the words? What does it do to a child’s developing immune system if he has to wear a mask all day every day? You’re satisfied to place this burden on children? Why? It’s not to keep them safe, they are safe. It’s not to keep the adults safe, they can all get vaccinated if they want. No, you do it to make yourselves feel better and to protect yourselves politically. The child’s mask is a symbolic security blanket – for you, not them.
