On mandatory masking for children, Youngkin is right and the Biden administration is wrong

It is absurd that we are still talking about masking children, but the Biden administration has been the biggest proponent of it and is refusing to back down, as GOP Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is finding out.

On his first day in office, Youngkin signed an executive order that allows parents to opt out of mask mandates for their children in schools. This is obviously backed by the science: Children are not at serious risk from COVID-19 and are, in fact, at more risk from the flu. Unvaccinated children are safer from COVID-19 than vaccinated adults. Masks are obnoxious tools that inhibit learning and social development, particularly for younger students, while only making panicked liberals feel safe, even if they are already vaccinated.
