Human: Now I am seeing parents complaining about their kids having to wear masks to school. Why is it such a big deal to them?

Assistant: Well, it’s natural for parents to want to protect their children, especially in a scary or stressful situation.  Masks in general can be scary because it makes it harder to breathe or speak, so when adults are wearing masks, it can seem unfair and scary for kids.  Some parents might also be trying to protect their kids from learning that adults need to protect themselves too, in case it changes the dynamic between adults and kids.  Finally, parents may have their own fears about masks, and they want to protect their children from those fears.

Assistant: I’m afraid I’m not familiar with this particular situation.  It’s possible that the people complaining aren’t actually the children’s parents, but other adults instead.
