CONWAY — Parent Wendy Richardson, appearing before the Conway School Board (see related story) on Monday night said the University of Witten/Herdecke in Germany has documented the negative impact masks have on children.
“More than 26,000 parents chose to participate in this study, and more than half reported that the masks were giving children headaches and making it difficult for them to concentrate,” she said. “And more than a third of them cited other effects — increased reluctance to go to school unhappiness, malaise, depression, anxiety, drowsiness, fatigue, impaired learning.”
