The students and staff of GCCISD have been mandated to wear face masks while on GCCISD properties for many hours at a time. As a registered nurse for the state of Texas, I am 100% against this mandate due to its risk of harm, both physically and mentally, to healthy students staff and families. Mask mandates are unconstitutional and are given without ample scientific evidence that they work nor any knowledge whether they are harming us. Many doctors, nurses, and scientists around the world have provided evidence that wearing masks do NOT decrease the spread of viruses, has caused physical and mental harm, and may amplify the risk of spreading disease.
By the way, I used to work in surgery. I was a circulator. If we accidentally touched our mask inside the operating room, we had to strip all of our gowns, rescrub our hands, re-gown, and re-glove. Sometimes, we had to even change out the entire surgery table with new covers and new sterilized instruments. How is it possible to expect children or adults to NOT spread germs or viruses ALL over the place when they are touching their masks all day?

We, the undersigned, call on the GCCISD School Board to allow masks to be optional, without questions, to the wearer on all GCCISD properties. We understand that there are passionate beliefs on both sides of this issue but solid scientific evidence of the proof that masks or shields work is not provided nor is there enough public awareness of the potential harms of masks. Furthermore, media outlets are not being open and accurate about reporting the falsehoods of masks. However, as a community, it is our ethical and moral duty to do what is right and good for everyone around us. Although our wishes are for NO masks to be worn due to their risks, we believe making them "optional" would be the first step in the right direction giving our government a little bit more time to explain all truths and finally dismiss all mask-mandates.
