Dear School Administrator,
The past 1.5 years have been challenging. No one knows that better than you. I do not envy your position and the decisions you need to make to balance education, health (both physical and mental), and government recommendations or mandates. The feelings I express here should not be misinterpreted for a lack of appreciation. The schools in our community put the Public School system to shame. Our schools are proof that children could learn safely in-person despite all the challenges.
However, as a parent of young children I can’t remain silent and risk the wellbeing of my children and thousands of others. I can’t be silent when children as young as two years old are forced to mask themselves or even worse, be injected with a vaccine that has almost no long-term research especially for adolescents.
As parents, we trust you with our children. Not just to educate them, but to help them grow, mature, and to keep them safe. The same way you would never allow a dangerous individual to enter your school, I ask that you not allow dangerous policies to enter your building either.
Sadly, the issue of safety has been replaced with public policy, mandates, overbearing guidelines, and politics. The rules and challenges we face today are hardly connected to safety. As it relates to the vaccine, we know that children have little risk to Covid-19, but they could spread the virus to other vulnerable populations. Today, the vulnerable populations are vaccinated, or have the choice to be vaccinated and chose not to. Furthermore, both the CDC and Dr. Fauci have publicly stated that vaccinated people can still spread the virus. With this information I see no conceivable reason to vaccinate children. They do not need the protection that the vaccine provides, and the vaccine does not prevent them from spreading the virus to others.
Regarding masks, there has yet to be a single study that supports or proves that masks prevent the spread of Covid-19. Not one. This is further highlighted when those wearing masks are wearing non-medical grade fabric from a local gift shop or Old Navy as most children are. Despite the bright and warm styles of unicorns or baseballs, these masks are not medical grade PPE nor fitted to prevent the spread of a virus that is 1/600th the size of a strand of hair. In contrast, many studies have shown that masks have led to heightened anxiety, isolation and inhaling increased levels of Carbon Dioxide.
Now is your chance to stand up. You can stand up to the guidelines and mandates and protect our children. Vaccines have potentially dangerous outcomes and masks are a source of discomfort and stress for many students. But more significantly, they are a reminder of all the restrictions our children have endured the past 17 months. All the playdates they weren’t allowed to have, the canceled Bar/Bas mitzvahs, the grandparents waving through windows, the 9+ hours per day spend on a screen and so much more. Today, I ask you to stand up.

Please allow us to make these choices for our children
I do not want my children to be masked or be given the covid vaccine. They are my kids. It should be my choice.
This is not out children’s responsibility to bear
It is my right as a parent to make these decisions for my own children..No one else can mandate anything for my kids. In addition this is something that potentially can be harmful for my child and I will not harm my child or allow anyone else to .
Parents pay top dollar for this education; they should have a say in this decision. Why subject the children to some unproven preventative? Do you want your institution to be on the receiving end of a mass Exodus? Google the lawsuits against Pfizer. Their pills have killed millions. Google Tuskegee. We are human beings not test dummies. This vaccine isn’t even FDA approved but has been allowed to circulate with no facts on long term effects. You can stop this madness! Don’t use this vaccine as a weapon. Stop denying the children a right to a good education.
Parents should be able to make health care decisions for their children, not the government.
To protect our children
It should be a choice, not a requirement.
No more masks
Leave it up to the individual. The parents have a right to allow or not allow their children to wear or not & to take the shot or not. Stop dictating what we are to do.
I support individual rights and parents rights
Parents should be given a choice as to whether they want to give their children this new vaccine.
Standing up for my kids
We need to make our individual choices to protect our children. Not the government. My young children have natural antibodies and dont need to be masked all day. It’s beyond ridiculous and anti science
The facts just aren’t there to support either of these mandates.
Will not ever put that poison in my child’s body. Check the data. The highest distribution of spike protein lands in the ovaries and testicles of people. Possible ten years from now infertility will be running rampant.
I believe in individual freedoms and choice. Children should not bear this burden! #mybodymychoice
I do not want my kids to wear masks
I have young children and see the damage done to them due to the politics agenda
Its what\’s right!!!
Our freedom is being denied us. We have forgotten why United States was created.
I care for my kids
It should be a parents decision.
This should be a parent choice not a school mandate
Parents should decide whether to vaccinate their children and whether they should wear masks.
It’s a parent right to choose what is best for their child. A mandate is unethical and opens the door to massive lawsuits. There is no science behind masking children and the damage that it has caused is extremely concerning. We cannot continue these dangerous policies. And we cannot mandate an experimental injection with no long-term studies ana zero liability on behalf of the manufacturer.
My body my choice
School medical boards should not decide what is good for my child. I do!
We as parents should decide what is best for our children!
Children do not need this vaccine and the vaccine does NOT have a proven safety record.
i passionately stand for this petition
I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. The well-being of our children should be in our hands, not the government’s
Our children our choice please don’t take away that from us
Save our kids!
This is B.S already
We need to protect our rights.
I not interested to vaccines or mask
I am in charge of any and all medical decisions revolving around my child, not the government , not their school, NO ONE ELSE.
Please don’t mandate vaccine and masks
Health of my child
We are sovereign beings. All medical choices pose risk and as such must never be mandated by any institution, government, or group. That is unlawful and violates the natural law of do no harm.
I recognize that it is a detriment to both the physicaland mental health of the children
Mandates don’t take each child’s individual needs into account.
My kids, my choice!
My kids should not need to wear masks or be forced to have the vaccine.
I want our children to be able to see their peers faces and breath without the harmful impact of a fabric covering their nose and mouth.
The schools managed to do very well last year without everyone getting vaccinated. The people that wanted to get vaccinated already are. If the vaccines work then those people need not be worried. If the vaccines dont work then why should the school mandate that i put an experimental vaccine in the growing childs body that doesnt work and no long term side effects known. The side effects that are seen now are worse than if my child would get covid.
I feel masks prevent the social, emotional and educational wellbeing of our children. Please see research study below indicating low probability of transmission in children. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2778940?utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_term=042621
Masks and the Covid vaccines are detrimental to my children. Try pose both risk and harm to their mental and physical well being. As a parent I am the one who makes decisions for the good of my children. Not the school and definitely not the government. If chas v’shalom something goes wrong, the government or school are not the ones going to have to deal with it. I am.
These shots should not be mandated!!!
Believe there is absolutely no science behind this decision. Kids can’t wear masks properly anyway. Data in schools showed almost 0 transmission. Masks are bad for kids!
Anything that comes with risk needs to have choice. Parents should be allowed to make the decisions for their family. Taking away chinuch from those who have a different opinion then the administration of the school is not the Torah way. There are many who are vaccinated who do not agree with these mandates. Those who want the vaccine should take it and those who don\’t should not be forced to.
Please consider including New York families above the petition
Parental choice
It is unhealthy and unsafe to mandate vaccinations and masks for children. It actually borders on the criminal.
Schools worked out well with proper protocol and screening. Kids and parents should have a choice and not be discriminated against. Not every person or child should be forced.
No more masks!!
I am signing because I do NOT wish to have my children have the vaccine. There are not enough studies out there for us to take the risk. I have myself been vaccinated. Our kids immune systems seem to be just fine and the spread of the virus seems to be down enough that this is unnecessary right now.
This is the new Holocaust, chas veshalom! Wake up everyone!
Pls do not mandate these vaccines to our dear children.
Children are our future. During this feardemic we protected the elderly and hurt the children. I am a concerned grandparent. I want to see healthy future generations of Yiddishe kindelach. We do not know what this vaccine will do to our children in 1 year or 4 years. Their bodies and systems are constantly changing as they grow. Do not mandate masks that do not block the virus or a vaccine that they do not need. Protect our children and the future of yiddishkeit.
I am a student and I should have a choice. I can remain safe and decide the ways that I can protect myself.
We have rights as parents and as individuals To make choices with the help of trusted doctors!
I am signing this because it isn\’t right to force this on anyone who doesn\’t want it .. It is wrong
Stop the child abuse.
I believe the vaccines are killing people. no adult or child should take it
it’s against constitution and democracy to force people and especially innocent kids to wear the masks (which have to be special medical grade masks and changed every TWO hours in order to work, by the way) and to do those shots, when we can see lots of side effects and uncertainty about this vaccine, for the healthy people. we should be able to make our own choices what to put in our bodies! only each one can decide for himself, based on his individual health history and only being completely sure why and for what reason. in the meantime mr fauci being under investigation..
Nuremberg code violation
I don’t how how it will affect them in the future and don’t believe that COVID affect healthy children.
Vaccines are how this pandemic ends
https://youtu.be/v8eOQSRVh_s
Vaccines and masks are safer than covid
I believe it is a parent’s right, not a school’s, to decide these issues. Period.
Vaccines are safe
https://www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996570855/disinformation-dozen-test-facebooks-twitters-ability-to-curb-vaccine-hoaxes
I oppose forcing children to take an experimental drug using a technology never used on human beings before this pandemic when children are at an extremely low risk of severe illness or death and they are not high vectors for transmission. Adults who are at risk can choose to take the experimental drug to protect themselves if they are concerned of illness.
I believe there are life harming adverse reactions to this Covid vaccine. And nobody should be forced to put anything in their body against their will. Masks do more harm than good.
Masks are safe
https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSL1N2P929B
I don\’t believe in masking anyone especially children. They need to breathe fresh air and see smiling faces.
I do not support this global lie. \”Do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor\”
It could harm our children
Masks don\’t work and kids are fine. Leave them out of politics.
There is no evidence that they are effective in preventing spread and it is harmful for children.
I do not want my children wearing masks. They are harmful and dont work.
Vaccines are given to prevent the vaccinated from getting sick and potentially dying… Every vaccine the government requires fits into that category. No child is at risk of dying from Covid. If a child is in an “at risk” category they should of course vaccinate to better protect THEMSELVES… The Covid vaccine does not provide ANY benefit to our children. It is solely for the belief that there is a greater societal benefit. There is a moral and ethical imperative here. Children should never be used, in any way, for the selfish benefits of others… Values change… Needs change… Parental prerogative regarding the health of one’s children should never change…
I don’t believe that this vaccine is Healthy and needed. I don’t want our children to be given an experimental drug.
I’m a high school student and I don’t want to be forced to do this so I can get an education.
Kids should not be subject to an experimental vaccine which has only been approved for emergency use. Vaccines need years of testing in order to ascertain the long term possible side effects. It is simply too early to tell.
I am concerned about my children’s health and wellbeing
Please let our kids go mask free! Also please start sports leagues again. Kids should not be deprived of this and some literally need it for their mental health.
I know what’s best for my child.
We are all vaccinated and masks are Not necessary!
Children are not at any risk of this virus, nor do they pose a risk for anyone else! However they ARE at risk for immediate complications from the vaccine, as well as at possible risk of future issues R\”L -that we cannot possibly know about yet currently -as this vaccine is too new and was not properly tested. Please don\’t put our children\’s lives and future at stake to please anyone, let alone a government that DOES NOT have our best interest at heart! I\’m pleading with you: don\’t be on the wrong side of history!
Aside from that – masks don\’t work, especially not on children that do not know how to avoid touching them or how to properly remove them. Making CHILDREN wear a cloth over their face for 8+ hours a day is outright abusive!
Masks have so many psychological and long lasting effects on ppl , no less our precious vulnerable children . We can’t stand by silently ! Ppl need to be awake and see what’s really going on , a political messy game !
I am signing because I do not want my children to wear masks, for masks are ineffective. The covid 19 Experimental Vaccines can cause genetic mutations, and death. I care about my children health. I want my children to stay alive.

This is absolutely false. There is no proof for this.
Kids deserve to breathe clean fresh air all day regardless of where they are!!!

This is false.
Benefits of Covid-19 vaccination clearly outweigh risks of rare heart inflammation

Please join me to stop this insanity on children – who don’t get sick frim Covid
I agree
Do not force and unproven untested rule of healthy children. Leave them alone.
💯
Vaccines protect!
https://inguyun.medium.com/the-provincetown-outbreak-is-actually-good-news-if-you-are-vaccinated-93a1edd763b6
I am signing because I have a client whos daughter now has severe lung problems due to not being able to take off the mask in school. She was yelled at by her teacher saying to put on a mask even after the child said she can’t breathe and has asthma like symptoms. The teacher said unless you have a doctors note, there’s nothing we can do. When visiting the doctor, he refused to sign a medical exemption letter because he encouraged vaccine or wear a mask at all times. The little girl spent 5 days in the hospital. No child or parent should go through that struggle.
Over 4 billion people have received vaccines. Hardly experimental.
No dangerous side effect has been discovered for any previous vaccine more than 2 months after administration vs covid which has known long term side effects.
I don\’t want forced vaccinations for my children.
Kids are not at risk
Kids don’t need a mask
This has gone too far! Put an end to the communism that has invaded our lives! We have a constitution to prevent this disgusting type of behavior. It’s time to stand up and fight for our rights!!
I\’ll leave it to the schools to decide what\’s best for our kids not some anonymous faceless parent.
Because it would create lots more health problems to our young generation
Kids are at low risk, not zero risk.
I’d rather they wear masks in school and have even lower risk. My kids have been wearing masks throughout and have not had any health, emotional or socially deleterious effects.
My kids are healthy and dont need masks!
There is no medical necessity to vaccinate children with experimantal grad with unlnown long term side effects.
I don\’t want my children to suffer. Enough damage has been done!
I don’t think kids should be masked.
Government overreach can\’t hurt its citizens under the logo \”it\’s good for you and others\”, data has proven that it\’s not safe and dangerous for that matter, plus Not Needed, why to do something that you don\’t need to do.
I dont support this!!!!
I strongly believe masking or vaccinating our kids is Child Abuse and a violation of our freedom!!
The masks do more harm then good !!!!
No masks as risk for Covid complications are very low
I don’t feel wearing masks and children being vaccinated should be mandated by the government.
Wearing masks is horrible
Children don’t need to wear masks, they have been through enough already at this point, and Covid doesn’t pose a big risk to kids! There is no point of them masking again! Please let them be kids!
its abusive to make kids sit all day with masks on. its not healthy for them having their caron dioxice levels raise so high. And COVID is no threat to kids and rarely transmit it to adults. I will consider home schooling if I have to.
Mandating vaccines is abuse.
People should be able to have the freedoms of life, liberty, bodily autonomy, and the pursuit of happiness. These needless restrictions and unnecessary mandates are causing harm and not helping in any legitimate way. They only give people a false sense of security.
Mandating vaccines that have been around for a whole
2.5 seconds that we have no long term data on a population that does not get sick from this virus unless there are co-morbidities is UNETHICAL and immoral. Any negative effects of this vaccine short term or long term gd forbid on our children will be on the heads of those who think to force it on our kids. Be the community that stands against harming our children. This has already divided our country. Do not allow it to divide our community as well.
Makes no sense
Masks don’t stop the spread and kids need to breathe properly
I don’t want to be forced to mask or vaccinate my children
I agree
Do not believe masks for children is appropriate especially since all people who covid could dangerously effect is vaccinated
I care about my children, all children, society, justice, and truth.
