From Vermont Stands Up:
Since 2020 those wishing to attend schools in-person have had to confront a range of face mask requirements. A group of dedicated Vermonters who are concerned about the negative effects of masks in schools has crafted a bill to prohibit educational institutions from requiring any student, staff or visitor to wear a
mask for in-person attendance.
Hear from organizers as they discuss ongoing intiatives. Organizers include:
House Bill 393,“An act relating to the prohibition of requiring face masks in schools,” was crafted with legal and technical assistance from National Health Freedom Action and is now awaiting consideration by the Vermont House Committee on Education.
The group supporting the bill was organized by Amy Hornblas, a health educator and director of Vermont Stands Up. Ms. Hornblas points out that masking requirements imposed on students and staff over the past 5 years have included a range of unscientific practices, such as double-masking, playing sports and outside recess with masks on and requiring people to wear them all day in hot environments.
