New Jersey School Nurse Suspended After Saying Masks Are Harmful to Students

A school nurse in New Jersey said she has been suspended after refusing to wear her mask at work and suggesting that requiring children to wear masks all the time is doing more harm than good.

Erin Pein, who has been working at Stafford Township School District for the past three years, said in a YouTube video that the mask mandate is taking a toll on childrenโ€™s mental and physical health during the pandemic.

โ€œWe see the kids who are having anxiety and having depression in kindergarten, in first, second grade,โ€ Pein said, explaining that kids at that age donโ€™t normally experience those problems. She said there was a girl in first grade who came to her and said she felt โ€œsomething really bad was going to happen,โ€ and that the โ€œmask made her feel scared.โ€

โ€œWhen she thinks about it, her stomach starts to hurt and she throws up,โ€ Pein recalled. โ€œShe was sent to me because she threw up in class, and she told me, โ€˜Iโ€™m not sick,โ€™ she said, โ€˜Iโ€™m just really nervous.โ€™ To hear that from a first-grader is just heartbreaking.โ€

Pein moved on to argue that not only are masks not effective in preventing the virus, but also they become breeding grounds for harmful bacteria when not used properly. She said she has โ€œnot seen a single childโ€ in Stafford wearing them correctly, yet the district makes children wear potentially infested masks over their mouths and noses for six to seven hours each day.

โ€œI didnโ€™t think that voicing my concerns was going to make a difference, so I decided that I was going to do my own form of protest. โ€ฆ I let them know that I was no longer going to be wearing a mask at work,โ€ Pein said, adding that she was suspended and โ€œescorted out of the buildingโ€ on the Monday she went to work without a mask.

In New Jersey, the state Department of Education requires students to wear masks at all times at school, with exceptions for those with certain medical conditions or when they are eating or drinking. Parents are given the option to continue remote learning if they do not want their children to wear masks.
