There was never a sensible medical reason to make kids wear masks, even if the masks were effective, because children are not significantly vulnerable to Covid. The detrimental effects of mask mandates for kids have been known for some time. But with liberals, the issue is never the issue; it is always the revolution. When this does not mean confiscating your money or directly seizing power, it means social engineering.

Maybe this social engineering project will work, in which case Covid will have helped produce a generation of good little socialists: i.e., obedient, dehumanized, indistinguishable, frightened, submissive serfs. Or maybe the characteristics that have traditionally made Americans American come from someplace too deep for progressives to reach. Give children a taste of freedom and dignity and they seem to like it:

Courtney Holland is Vice Chair & National Committeewoman for Nevada Young Republicans.

Last week even Nevada’s Democrat governor Steve Sisolak gave up on a statewide mask mandate, leaving businesses and schools to set their own policies.

You saw the reaction when kids were told that beginning the next day, they would not have to wear masks anymore.

As Biden and his handlers have made clear, Democrats thought this was their moment to go for broke. The plan was to run roughshod over the opposition and achieve unprecedented power in the name of leftist ideology. In the process, American would be reduced to a country unfit to live in.

By overplaying their hand, they may have created a generation of patriots who will know from their earliest memories that Big Government is not their friend.
