This
story takes the ongoing demoralization and pussification of our young
people to a whole new level of abusive insanity. It reads like the type
of mocking humor that an irreverent satirist would write, but it's not

From the article:
"When Lizzie Rothwell, an architect in Philadelphia, sent her son to third grade this fall, she stocked his blue L.L. Bean backpack with pencils, wide-ruled paper — and a portable carbon dioxide monitor.
The device gave her a quick way to assess how much fresh air was flowing through the school. Low levels of CO2 would indicate that it was well-ventilated, reducing her son’s odds of catching the coronavirus.
But she quickly discovered that during lunch, CO2 levels in the cafeteria rose to nearly double those recommended by CDC. She shared what she’d learned with the principal and asked if students could eat outside instead.
