The CDC encourages masks inside schools to stop the spread of the Delta variant.
Most states are allowing school districts to set their own guidance on mask wearing.
It's a public health emergency. We all have to do our part.
The hospitalization rate among children is surging, with close to 2000 a day being admitted.
The country has been divided on the topic of mask mandates in schools and the results show a sharp political divide. While 6-in-10 Americans support mask mandates in schools, only 3-in-10 Republicans want it compared to 8-in-10 Democrats. The results are exactly the same when asked if teachers and eligible students should be required to get the COVID-19 vaccine. (ABC News)
