Dr. Walinski's Science Denial
00:02:41

| Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report, COVID Authoritarians Abuse Children. | |
| Centers for Diseases Control CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walinski has recommended that children wear masks while playing. | |
| Her offered reason is to ensure COVID is not spread by heavy breathing of children near each other while around a soccer ball. | |
| Dr. Walinski's recommendation is one more example of COVID authoritarians' refusal to listen to the science. | |
| The science says no to lockdowns and masks. | |
| The masks are not blocking the very small viruses in heavy breathing. | |
| Dr. Walinski also ignores the science showing that wearing a mask while exercising or playing sports has negative health effects. | |
| Dr. Walinski's most outrageous disregard of science is ignoring the fact that children are statistically unlikely to be at risk of either spreading COVID or becoming very sick from it. | |
| Dr. Walinski's recommendation is one of many examples of how children are harmed by the overreaction to coronavirus. | |
| Many children have had their physical and mental health damaged because they cannot go to school, play with their friends, or even have a birthday party because of the lockdowns. | |
| Disappointingly, but not surprisingly, the two major teachers' unions, the National Education Association, the NEA, and the American Federation of Teachers, the AFT, have stood in the way of reopening schools. | |
| Teachers' union leaders have claimed that it is too dangerous for teachers to resume in-person instruction, even though adults are at little or no risk of getting COVID from children. | |
| Sadly, teachers' unions are disregarding the interests of children. | |
| Recently released emails show the CDC disregarded the science in favor of the AFT's restrictive guidance when developing recommendations concerning reopening schools. | |
| The negative effect of lockdowns and school closings for children have led many parents to consider alternative to government schools. | |
| Some private schools have not just remained open, they have followed the science and not forced their children to wear masks. | |

Parents Consider Homeschooling

| Many parents are also considering homeschooling. | |
| Homeschooling parents obviously can ensure their children are not forced to obey masks, social distancing, and other unscientific mandates. | |
| Parents interested in providing their children with quality education that emphasizes the ideas of liberty should consider my homeschooling curriculum. | |
| The Ron Paul curriculum provides students with a well-rounded education that includes rigorous programs in history, mathematics, and the physical and natural sciences. | |
| The curriculum also provides instruction in personal finance. | |
| Students can develop superior communication skills via intensive writing and public speaking courses. | |
| Another feature of my curriculum is that it provides students the opportunity to create and run their own internet-based businesses. | |
| The government and history sections of the curriculum emphasizes Austrian economics, libertarian political theory, and the history of liberty. | |
| However, unlike government schools, my curriculum never puts ideological indoctrination ahead of education. | |
| Interactive forums allow students to learn from each other outside of a formal setting. | |
| The curriculum's emphasis on self-directed learning and student interaction makes it ideal for parents who need to work from home but still want to homeschool their children. | |
| I encourage parents looking at alternatives to government schools to go to ronpaulcurriculum.com for more information about my homeschooling program. | |
