"Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is facing backlash over the weekend after she visited an elementary school and posed maskless with a room full of young children who were all masked because of a school mandate."

"Abrams visited Glennwood Elementary School outside of Atlanta this past week to kick off the third annual African American read-in, where she met with young students and teachers. The principal, Dr. Holly Brookins, took to Twitter after the visit to post four pictures on her Twitter account of Abrams' visit, which included three pictures of Abrams without a mask, despite the Decatur City Commission reinstating a mandatory masking ordinance last month.

"The picture that went viral was Abrams sitting on the floor with her legs crossed and smiling without a mask on while the dozens of children and adults behind her were all wearing masks. Abrams quote tweeted the picture and told Brookins that her visit was "spectacular, delightful, and outstanding."

"As of Sunday morning, Brookins' Twitter account appears to be deactivated and Abrams' quote tweet is no longer on her Twitter account, but that hasn't slowed down the backlash as the picture spreads across social media."

It would be nice if Fox News posted in good faith because they truly believe that masks and vaccines are objectively good public health measures to curb pandemics.

And not just to scream about the hypocritical libs and how this proves America would be better without California and COVID is no big deal.

Beyond anything else, I'd just feel self-conscious being the maskless one surrounded by people wearing masks. I don't get how that thought doesn't cross the mind of a Democratic politician.

I take this as a good sign. Same with Gavin Newsome, Eric Garcetti, London Breed among others. That shows that they aren't all that worried about COVID, which means they must be getting some positive news from their public health officials that there's nothing to worry about when going maskless in public gatherings.

This is a positive & good on those leaders for showing that they are the tip of the spear in returning to normalcy.

Elites have been like this for quite some time. If they are getting good news, why are they keeping it to themselves? Why did this woman decide that only she could take off her mask in a room full of school children?

I would vote for someone who would let kids take masks off in school.

Look at the comments in this topic who don't know how to respond to this. All they can do is harass tc and mock "conservatives".

Is it because you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how masks work, or because you want more kids to die?

Here you go....

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/data-shows-more-children-are-getting-sick-dying-covid-n1281616

The American Academy of Pediatrics obtains its data from individual states, which have varying definitions of child. Some include 19-year-olds, and West Virginia includes people up to age 20.

Only a small proportion of young children with Covid get severely ill or die. Though weekly data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that Covid deaths among children under age 15 also reached its highest level in September, only 41 children died of Covid from Sept. 4 to Oct. 2.

Thanks, bud.

Show me the data that kids are high risk.

And do you mean like the person in that photo who is the highest risk person but chose not to wear a mask? The kids have to be developmentally and socially damaged to protect her? I disagree.

Are they entirely preventable? We would need to see the entire causes of death of each child.

I didn't say they were high risk. I asked you a question. Do you think there are no kids dying from covid? Don't dodge.

Also yes, she was stupid to take off her masks, but kids usually have parents to go home to.

Was she among the students for an extended period unmasked? Or was this just for the photo? Lots of people remove their masks just for a photo then put it back on. They do that at my school too for big event photos.

While it was extremely poor optics on her part...

She is vaccinated.

She is (most likely) tested regularly, so there's an extremely good change she does not have Covid.

Assuming the children are wearing the proper masks, the risk of her catching Covid in the 30 seconds she was maskless for this photo op is as near to zero as you can get.

But again, this is EXTREMELY poor optics.
