I think school districts should not require masks mandatory indoors and if students still want want to wear it they can but don’t have to. Since Covid cases have dropped it is mostly safe to take off the mask but still take precautions. I think I want to learn more about Ukraine and Russia.

I feel like people that have their vaccinations should have the option to take off their mask or not, but those that are not vaccinated should keep using a mask, because they are more likely to catch Covid and pass it around. I want to learn more about the war that is going on in Russia and Ukraine and how it will have a major impact in the future.

In my opinion, i don't think mask and vaccinations should be
mandatory, it should be an option. On the other hand we can see that Covid cases have been low, by this i think people should help by making change of getting rid of masks, despite that this item has been with us in the past two years and it's going to be hard to see the real world like before. I would like to learn more about the present situation that has been a big impact for all the world and what similarities have with the past conflicts.

I am okay with that since masks don't actually prevent covid from spreading and also having a mask on is uncomfortable and makes it hard to breath normally and effectively. Many people will still wear them because they wanna hide their face or because they feel more safe, testing and vaccination are still important and while they might not be required anymore, it is recommended to get them in order to protect not only yourself but others, don't be a fool conspirationist.

I am not sure what I want to learn more about the US. History.

I think school districts should not make it required for students to wear a mask, and specially it you are already vaccinated. Covid cases have dropped by a lot and there's no need for a mask if you are vaccinated. Covid vaccination should not be mandatory as well, because a lot of people don't want their children to get vaccinated and if school requires vaccination; then a lot of children would miss school, or do online classes. I want to learn more about the Russia and Ukraine conflict.

In my opinion I believe that mandatory masking and vaccinations for students should be the students opinion to decide if they want to follow that protocol. I want to learn more about the current war that is taking place between Russia and Ukraine and how it will impact the whole society.
