A Washington DC elementary school has sparked outrage after reinstating pandemic-era mask mandates despite only a handful of schoolkids testing positive for Covid-19.

In a letter sent to parents on Tuesday, the principal of Rosemary Hills Elementary School in Maryland, Rebecca Irwin Kennedy, said she made the move after 'three or more individuals' tested positive in the last ten days.

She demanded that students don thick N95 masks to 'keep our school environment as safe as possible', despite a recent study findingthe tight-fitting mask may expose users to dangerous levels of toxic chemicals.

And while even embattled medical guru Dr Anthony Fauci admits there is a lackof evidence the masks stop the spread of Covid, Kennedy told parents the N95s will only become optional after 10 days.

The letter caused widespread fury among among those who see the decision as a slippery slope back to Covid lockdowns, with Donald Trump Jr posting to X: 'DO NOT COMPLY!!!'

The letter was reportedly sent to parents of students in one class in the school, informing them that their children will be forced to wear masks again so they can keep in-person teaching.
