Governor
They are taking their cue from Florida, the state with the best economy, the best schools, the most brilliant Governor, and a balanced budget.

Governors in 4 States Plan for End to School Mask Mandates
The governors of four states announced plans Monday to lift statewide mask requirements in schools by the end of February or March, citing the rapid easing of COVID-19′s omicron surge.
The decisions in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and Oregon were announced as state and local governments grapple with which virus restrictions to jettison and which ones to keep in place.
The changes also come amid a growing sense that the virus is never going to go away and Americans need to find a way to coexist with it. And it was noted by some observers that blue-state leaders were moving to act in favor of relaxing COVID restrictions ahead of a midterm election cycle in which several polls suggest Dems may incur heavy losses, perhaps losing control of one or both chambers of Congress. One reason Republicans are gaining traction: concern over overly restrictive and protracted pandemic mandates.
Yes, it is true that Florida had mask mandates when the China Virus first came out. After our schools stayed shut down after the Easter Break, the only way they would open would be for every human to be masked, social distancing, scrubbing the desktops between classes. (I was there. I wore the masks. I scrubbed those desktops.)
And Florida teachers (the best in the country) were the ones who said not only did the masks not work, they took away from the children's education. Valuable sectors of class time had to be wasted forcing a kid to put his/her mask on or put it over his/her nose. I subbed in those classes. I went through it.
This last year, with zero mask mandates, the kids progressed at a much greater rate. (Already better than any other state in America.)
So some idiot blue states might continue the Maskhole idea. For now, the great state of Florida, (and four others) are doing the right thing.
