DC mother furious after school's tennis camp forces kids to wear masks in extreme heat

Mother of four blasts ‘political theater’ of mask mandates after daughter gets sick

Mother of four Ashley Mcguire on penning scathing op-ed after 9-year-old daughter was forced to wear mask playing tennis.

A Washington, D.C. mother is pushing back on “political theater” after her nine-year-old daughter was forced to wear a mask while playing tennis at a summer camp.

“I went to pick up my daughter from camp. And it was the hottest day of the year, 98 degrees. When I went to pick her up, she looked sick. And I asked her when she got in the car if she had to keep her mask on outside for three hours of tennis and she said yes,” Ashley McGuire told “Fox & Friends.”

When asked about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention new mask guidance, the Democratic mayor replied, “Look, we’ve been constantly working with the CDC, but we also in this case have been very careful – given everything the city’s been through – so I’m absolutely confident based on this guidance and everything else we’ve seen that we’ll be able to get all our kids back in school in September.”

New York City isn’t the only place where school mask mandates are set to remain. On the same day the CDC released its new guidance – last Friday – California state health officials made it clear that masks would still be required in schools across the state this fall.
