In reply to the discussion: Texas restaurant kicks out family because they were wearing masks to protect at-risk infant. [View all]Dorian Gray

I am all for mask wearing in public and in schools. Going into restaurants. In stores in my community. Wear a mask. A restaurant requiring you not to wear a mask upon entering is stupid.
But WHY WOuLD YOU BRING AN AT RISK INFANT INTO A RESTAURNT if they're at risk? Where everybody else isn't wearing masks but you are. Until you eat next to that infant? I don't get what they're trying to prove (other than people not being able to critically think anymore).
ETA: Okay, I have realized that the infant isn't with them, and that makes it a different story. The owner is an asshole and probably won't suffer any business consequences as a result.
Freedom for me but not for thee. (anti-maskers are full of shit!)

I don't disagree, but it would be just as outrageous had they been wearing masks just to be safe. NT

I was going to write the same thing, but I didn't see in the article where the infant was with them

Even more obvious question... How, exactly, did they plan to eat while wearing a mask?
