Who needs education?

I cannot fathom, why, parents of school-age children are taking to the streets, boardrooms and social media, to disparage leaders of local school districts that wish to protect - yes, protect - the kids, the teachers, the staffs, with the logic of wearing masks during the school day, as we work through the devastations of the Delta virus strain and other variants on the horizon.

Perhaps, it's the very parents - who are confusing freedoms with social safety, public health, the good of the whole and the health of their children - who themselves should strongly consider going back to school.
