MASKING CHILDREN IS CHILD ABUSE
(Mrs. GREENE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mrs. GREENE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk about how children feel about masks.
You see, while they are watching television, seeing Super Bowl games where adults are filling stadiums without masks and enjoying themselves, and while they see concerts happen, they see people go to work, they see adults going many places all over this country without masks, they are forced to wear a mask every single day at school, and it is wrong. Actually, it is child abuse.
Now, I know that sounds like strong words, but it really is because children are not at risk of COVID-19. As a matter of fact, children are at the lowest risk.
Do you know what is harmful to children? Having their faces covered all day long at school, not being able to see each other's faces; not being able to see their teachers' faces; and not being able to learn properly speech, emotions, having that connection, seeing each other's faces, and learning from adults seeing each other's faces.
Now, while Democrats are going on with the mask for thee and not for me, kids have had enough. And they are going to be future voters. They are sick and tired of being forced to wear a mask. It needs to end. Masking children is child abuse.
