Just to be clear - Schools can't enforce a mask policy for the health and safety of everyone in the building but they can tell girls they can't wear a tank top because it's distracting.

So this took off a bit. Just a few things. @IAGovernor has mishandled this from Day 1. The duplicity of her statements and actions is evident to anyone who looks at this with a discerning eye. /cont #CovidKim #iapolitics #CCDems #IA04
By signing this in the middle of the night, it just reinforced how little she actually cares about the well-being of the people in the state. Masks help prevent the spread and not everyone is/can be vaccinated. #CovidKim #iapolitics #CCDems #IA04
Big #Covid19 outbreak at #MtPleasant #stateprison. 170+ inmates tested positive in sweep. Bumped #HenryCounty #Covid rate form 5% to 16.4%. But no impact on in-school learning at local schools thanks to #CovidKim's ruling that prison staff& families don't get covid. #iapolitics
What's #CovidKim's rationale for not including #prison & #packingplant #Covid19 cases in school opening calcs? Cuz active tracking would quickly identify cases & quarantine cases from the sites. So why didn't #IaGov establish the program? Needed 5K trackers. Now? 300. #IaPolitics
So what's in store for poor citizens of #HenryCounty (pop 20K)? Prison is 7% of population. 340 staff + 1000+ total prisoners. Assuming that half the staff are or 2B infected it's really big & no viable tracker system. Sorry. #SOL! #IaPolitics #CovidKim
#CovidKim Outrage du jour. @KimReynoldsIA refused 2 fund cautionary testing at nursing homes. Instead, $450K was diverted from #CARESAct to pay #IaGov staffing already paid by #IaLegis, then she hid shift! She got greedy. Folks will die. #IaPolitics #IaGov iowalabornews.com/?p=28091&link_…
Half of all #Iowa #CovidDeaths occur in #NursingHomes and #CovidKim cut testing for Nursing Homes and took the money that it could have been used for to expand her personal staff budget. #IaPolitics #IaGov @IAGovernor @IowaGOP #COVID19 #Covid19IA
#CovidKim set the stage for general destitution of #NursingHome lives by gutting travel allowances for #NursingHomeInspectors shortly after she became governor in 2017. How can you inspect nursing homes if you cannot visit them?? #NLM #NursingHomeLivesMatter #IaPolitics #IaGov
Listening to the DSM school board meeting discussing in person versus remote learning (currently, all online). Hear several variations on "I know this is a decision potentially about students and staff lives, but..." and I'm like NO. THERE IS NO BUT. IT IS THEIR *LIIIIIIVES.*
Look, our national and--especially--state governments have failed us (looking at you, #CovidKim). THERE IS NO MAGIC WAY OUT OF THIS. It is not safe to go in-person. Yes, that sucks. But how many dead people are you OK with to open up? If you support that, I want a number.
This current generation of students is living through a childhood where every single institution in our society has failed them. Every. Single. One. The ramifications of this fact are enormous.
