Schools and colleges continue to insist that students wear face coverings in lessons, despite numerous recent studies declaring masks to be ineffective, unhealthy and detrimental to kids learning.
Talk Radio’s Julia Hartley-Brewer put this to Geoff Barton this morning. Barton is the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders. His response to being told that masks are ineffective and in fact harming children was that kids should “just get on with it.”
What an idiot. See the exchange below.
Julia asks Association of School and College Leaders' Geoff Barton "Should we get rid of masks?"
Geoff: "It's just for a short amount of time, young people are demonstrating, let's just get on with it."
Julia: "I couldn't disagree with you more."@JuliaHB1 | @RealGeoffBarton pic.twitter.com/vtTOzvQUAL
