CALIFORNIA: State Agency Conducted ‘Mask Raids,’ Interviewed Preschoolers Alone. “Regulators questioned the Rosados’ son as part of an investigation into masking practices at Aspen Leaf Preschool, which operates three locations in San Diego. All three locations were simultaneously ‘raided,’ as some parents have called it, in mid-January. Regulators separated the children and toddlers from familiar adults at each of the centers to ask questions about the preschools’ masking policies.”

Plus: “What’s strange about that decision, parents and teachers say, is that Aspen Leaf officials had already been open with parents and regulators about their decision to not mask children.”

Were the raids really so strange?
