ANNOUNCING STATE WIDE LEGAL EFFORT TO UNMASK NEW YORK STATE SCHOOL CHILDREN
WNY Students First was born in 2020 from the collaborative frustration of school district stakeholders at the treatment of children during the pandemic. Over the past year, we have advocated for safe, full-time, in-person instruction for any student who wants it, and incorporated into a non-profit 501-c 4 organization. We have engaged the Erie County Department of Health, Boards of Education, and Superintendents. We have petitioned Governor Cuomo, the NYS Department of Health, and the New York State Education Department. We have written the Erie County Legislature, and our government representatives. We have formed relationships with members of the press, and members of our community, all in the name of tireless advocacy for the mental and physical health of our children.
As the year progressed, our advocacy has shifted. With the emergence of new science and data, WNY Students First recognizes that it is now safe and necessary to unmask our children at school.
Parents have exhausted their options for advocacy in Albany. Legislative efforts have not been effective. Officials in the Department of Health, Education Department, and Governor's office have dragged their feet, misled, and flip-flopped on policies and procedures related to masking children while at the same time celebrating the end of the lockdown for adults.
WNY Student’s First is investigating legal action to challenge current state guidance for students and children that mandates universal masking for all, ineffective and disruptive quarantine policies, and other measures that have little to no scientific basis. We will prove that these policies are ineffective, harmful, and unsound for New York State families and school district leaders.
Children must be a top priority for New York State leaders, and their freedom cannot be a bargaining tool or means to an end. We are faced once again with no other options. The only way forward for concerned parents is through the court system.
This lawsuit is a comprehensive, statewide effort representing parents and children from all regions of New York to remove unscientific mandates on children. All parents should have the choice to mask their children or not, regardless of where they live.

About: WNY Students First is a non-partisan group of parents, caregivers, teachers, and school district stakeholders across Western New York working toward the common goal of giving students and families an organized and active voice regarding the education of students within their districts.
