Having three young kids myself and a parent who is a teacher, I know how "gross" kids are first hand.

>Neither she nor the children are allowed to wear masks or gloves.

I understand why the children won't be wearing any PPE - my 3yo would never keep a mask on for more than 15 minutes. Why is your Wife not allowed to at minimum wear a mask?

because masks are now a political statement and some administrators are republicans

Has there been any districts/states/counties that have strictly forbid teachers from choosing to wear a mask?? I'm unaware of this but would find it terribly cruel.

At the start of the pandemic, there were hospitals that explicitly forbid doctors from wearing masks, going so far as to fire them. There was one just up I-5 from me which did just that.

When an idiot with authority decides to flex their bureaucratic muscles, the cruelty is the point.
