I think it's too early to say what the right course of action is. I'm betting they'll continue to need to wear them until we know more for certain about the potency and long-term effects of omicron.

The reason I think they may continue to require them in schools is that it has been effective against other variants, and that means they may be effective against future variants as well.

I'm very much all for eliminating masking requirements when/how the CDC advises though!
You need the CDC to tell you what you seem to already know? Seems to me the only reason the kids should continue to be masked in school is because the all powerful rulers of parents and children (the unions) say so. The CDC is going to tailor their recommendations based on what the teacher unions tell them to do. That is if past history is any indication
