The Los Angeles Unified School District recently updated its mask policy and is now mandating “‘well-fitted, non-cloth masks with a nose wire’ at all times, including outdoors”:
Starting Monday, students must wear “well-fitted, non-cloth masks with a nose wire” at all times, including outdoors, the district announced. https://t.co/hH2UzmCdFI

And with the Super Bowl in Los Angeles just days away, we will 100% be covering the hypocrisy of making kids mask up while celebrities paying thousands of dollars for seats just do whatever they want:
Going to be fun optics in 3 weeks when students in Los Angeles have to wear masks inside and outdoors but a sold out Super Bowl crowd won't. https://t.co/h3Llyq6SCz

If it isn’t safe for kids to go maskless in Los Angeles County, then it’s not safe enough for fans to attend the Super Bowl, right?
Kids in LA are wearing masks to school, but thousands of people will be sipping beer at the Super Bowl miles away—and everyone’s like yea, this is grand.

LOL. They’re afraid the Super Bowl will be a super-spreader event but they can’t do anything about it?

Journos, these calls are recorded if you don’t believe this tweeter:

Local politicians don’t seem very interested in the issue, too:

Yeah, this isn’t likely. The masking will continue and no amount of hypocrisy will stop it:
