Webb City School District responds to physicians' letter urging mask mandate


(From the Webb City R-7 School District)

Webb City School District Press Release In Response to Physician Letter

The Webb City School District has always agreed with the guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control, American Academy of Pediatrics, our local health department and physicians. As we highlight in our Cardinal Comeback plan, we highly recommend students and faculty wear a mask for the protection of themselves as well as others. 

Be that as it may, after reviewing feedback from our parent and staff surveys, the large majority of parents as well as faculty and staff prefer to have the choice of masking.








Our Cardinal Comeback Plan has been out in the public for weeks. Webb City School District is always willing to work with our public health officials and this letter reaching the media before having the opportunity to openly communicate with these specific doctors makes the discussion more challenging.

During these unprecedented times when it is more important than ever to work together, this topic continues to be a divisive one that only further divides communities. Webb City School District has great
empathy for our medical health professionals and are always willing to have a conversation with them regarding the safety and well-being of our students and staff.

    What like we're just supposed to chat at barbecues about a pandemic? Attempt to out shout radicals at school board meetings? Local media is precisely the venue for meaningful public discourse. And medical professionals have been saying exactly this to you for weeks, months, a year now. What a cowardly, disingenuous non-response to a genuine genuine outcry from a collective position of expertise.

    CJ school provided a very similar BS response. Let's see how fun this year is while I let my kid make other personal choices that the school may not like. Rules? Who cares about rules when personal freedumbs are at stake?

    My body, My choice, Right? I have a pair, big and hairy! I use my mask to coddle them and protect them! It was later learned that many of the Doctors were coerced into signing onto the letter for fear of reprisal if they did not (Once again it's about the almighty dollar). Personal liberty and constitutional rights are not suspended because a few have overwhelming fear from a virus or bacteria!
