The ‘enlightened’?

Dear Editor:

RE: Survey: youth recovering from COVID-19 isolation but there are still disturbing trends, Sept. 12.

It strikes me that despite this attempt to commend the work of the school boards and public health in helping youth recover, the mental health of youth has been and continues to be badly influenced by both of these entities.

As well as going along with the destructive measures regarding COVID-19 enforced by the government, school boards and public health officials continue to rank themselves above parents as the best guardians of children’s health and spiritual condition.

When will the hearts of parents turn towards their children and rescue them from those who, against all the evidence, count themselves enlightened?
