I don't disagree with you about public schools, but I guess I'm thinking overall in terms of precedents.
I may not like business dress codes, or religious venues that demand certain kinds of coverings for entry, but I in the past we've always allowed private businesses and religious organizations to have rules about dress, with the idea that people who don't like it don't have to patronize those businesses or attend those organizations. So if businesses want to mandate muzzle dress codes in the name of Scientism, well, freedom of religious observance and all.
The problem in my mind is when government wants to get into the religious-mandate business. Because that's what these masks are; they're part of the religions of Scientism. We have government mandating religious observance, cloaked as "science" and "public health".
I feel like if left the their own devices, the business sector would sort it out A small minority of businesses would cater to the maskies, and we'd all have to wear masks if we wanted to buy gourmet groceries or attend the gallery opening, while most businesses would be mask optional. Live and let live.
The real problem to me is the government actively promoting religion disguised as science, and imposing this religion in the schools and other public places.
