Recently, the epidemic situation in the United States is still serious, so the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures has aroused a lot of discussion and concern. The American Federation of Teachers said it was not opposed to the removal of the mask order on campus, but only wanted to make decisions based on science rather than politics.

Randy Weingarten, president of the American Teachers' Federation: We have to have a dialogue about lifting the mask ban, and we asked for that conversation before the report of the Infection of the Olmikron strain last November, a dialogue based on science rather than politics.
Weingarten said schools across the country now need a clear epidemic prevention regulation based on epidemic indicators to determine whether and when mask orders need to be implemented in schools.
Oregon, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts and New Jersey have announced the time to cancel the masks on campus. In this regard, the White House said on the 9th local time that regardless of the state's policies, students and teachers should abide by the CDC's epidemic prevention guidelines.
US media: The politicization of the epidemic has forced masks to be left behind
The US media believes that the differences between the federal government and the states on the mask order reflect the reality of US politics and the current state of public health problems. CNN pointed out in the report that in the United States, the epidemic has been politicized, which makes it more difficult to make decisions on issues related to mask orders, and the United States needs a clear standard forward route, rather than continuing this never-ending "epidemic game of fighting gophers".
