CDC quietly removed school guidance for eliminating masks, rolling back COVID-19 prevention efforts

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly removed language in its guidance for schools that suggested how administrators could choose to roll back COVID-19 protocols.

"We believe that our state, as well as teachers unions, probably had an influence over this change," Jonathan Zachreson, an advocate for fully reopening California schools, told Fox News. "It's basically mask indefinitely in schools forever, and there is no off-ramps. So it's really disappointing to see that." 

Teachers unions have previously influenced changes to the CDC’s school-related guidance, reports have shown.
