Kids don’t mind wearing a mask
RE: Guest Opinion: Get masks out of classrooms; Dec. 23rd] Dear Mrs. Frost, I would just like to ask a question; did you really quote “Dr” Michael Huang as your medical source in this article? The same Michael Huang who was caught essentially selling mask exemptions for around $200 apiece?! Wow! That seems like a mistake on your part.
My kids both attend school in Citrus Heights and after having explained to them how masks work and how they’re effective in helping keep others around them safe, they have never complained about it. It’s always adults like you trying to advocate on their behalf who seem to have the biggest problem with masks.
Back in the 40’s during WW2, citizens sacrificed food, goods, tin, aluminum, lumber, and even their sons and daughters to the war effort for the greater good of the country. Now we’re all being asked to cover our mouths with a thin piece of cotton and folks like you are all up in arms about it. Give me a break. You’ve lost all credibility in my eyes.

Frost is dead wrong on masks
[RE: Guest Opinion: Get masks out of classrooms; Dec. 23rd] I’ve always supported you and felt you had our best interests at heart. However, I feel you are dead wrong with this opinion. It is not harmful for kids to wear masks. Perhaps challenged kids, but not the masses, and exceptions can be made. I’m sorry, but my opinion of you and your best interests have changed completely, as has my vote in the future.

Homeless at the library
[RE: Sylvan Oaks Library criticized for response to homelessness, camping; Dec. 12th] I play at the courts several times a week and have noticed a difference with the ‘campers’. For the past few months there has been less trash, less loud noise and less fighting. They are usually gone, or mostly gone, by 9 or 10. I support whatever the library, the CHPD and whoever else is trying to keep this precious park and library going. We love Sylvan Oaks!
