Emotional Video of NV Elementary Kids Cheering When They Could Take off Masks

Courtney Holland tweeted an incredibly emotional video of Las Vegas, Nevada elementary aged school children who quite literally jumped for joy when they were told they could take their masks off at school. “Stop what you’re doing and watch this. Kids at a Las Vegas elementary school burst out into cheers after learning they no longer have to wear a mask to school” Holland tweeted along with the video.

It’s particularly enraging to see. Liberal leadership and high profile celebrities have bullishly touted “wear a damn mask.” They have mandated children wear masks. They have said children don’t mind wearing masks and insisted they are “following the science” despite the science saying how detrimental masks are to children. Not only to their emotional wellbeing and mental health, but also studies have been conducted on the dozens of types of bacteria and germs that grow in the mask, causing actual illness to the children.

Add all of that on top of the fact that children have an incredibly low risk of contracting Covid-19, and an even lower risk of having significant side-effects. And yet again, an even lower risk of hospitalization. In addition, hit is insulting that the very people who are treating our children like this, all just celebrated, maskless, in close proximity to tens of thousands of people at the Super Bowl on Sunday.

    Here is something no one is talking about:
    What do kids do after school and on the weekends?
    – Most are visiting with other kids and do you think they are wearing masks?
    – Are high school students not going on dates?
    – Does anyone really think they aren’t kissing – or if they are, they’re doing it with masks on?

    Seriously, kids are wearing masks with each other – ONLY during school.

White House announced $6 billion student loan forgiveness for 78,000 public service workers

United States Congress

The White House recently announced a $6 billion loan forgiveness program. Nurses, teachers and firefighters are among the 78,000 public service workers who will qualify. Fox Business reports:

Due to fixes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, workers that never received forgiveness are now having their debts partially forgiven or canceled. Only about 7,000 public service borrowers received forgiveness prior to the Biden Administration, now that total hovers closer to 870,000, the announcement said.

“Today’s announcement comes on top of the significant progress we’ve achieved for students and student loan borrowers in the past few years,” the announcement stated. “This includes: providing the largest increases in Pell Grants in over a decade to help families who earn less than roughly $60,000 a year; fixing Income-Driven Repayment plans so borrowers in repayment for years get the relief they earned; and creating the most generous Income-Driven Repayment plan in history – the SAVE plan.”

However, there is concern over fairness that older generations are still paying off student loans and could risk losing Social Security. A group of representatives wrote a letter to Congress, hoping to address the issue of seniors still paying down student loans. Currently, under the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), the government can collect funds, such as tax refunds and Social Security, to pay outstanding student loan balances, reports Fox Business.

“Under the TOP, the federal government can withhold up to 15 percent of monthly Social Security or disability benefits for defaulted student loans,” the lawmakers explained in their letter.
