An elementary school teacher captured on video her students’ reaction to the news of Nevada‘s mask mandate repeal, which was then shared to social media.
The video of a Clark County School District class was uploaded to social media Thursday after the repeal was announced. It was quickly reposted by several other users, who appreciated the children’s evident joy at the news. “Starting tomorrow we don’t have to wear masks anymore,” an unknown female said, followed by cheers and dancing from excited students.
Stop what you’re doing and watch this.

“Is anybody excited?” she prompted the students, who, once again, cheered in relief.
The school removed the district mandate after Gov. Steve Sisolak repealed the statewide mandate Thursday. The video was likely filmed shortly after the district released a statement on the policy. Governors of Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, and Oregon also announced the near end of mask mandates in their states.

Social media reacted to the video, with many celebrating along with the children virtually. “Their joy is so uplifting!” wrote former Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes. “Simultaneously, enraged that children suffered because of the wide scale neurosis of the Left. Time for political payback.”

Others weren’t quite as impressed by the video. Podcast host Matt Binder wrote, “As a parent, I can confirm that kids will react this way about most anything when you tell them to.”

Utah news anchor Jake Edmonds wrote, “I’m all for no masks in school, but it kind of ruins the authenticity when you tell the kids how to react before you start recording,” suggesting the video was staged.
