Texas has seen the opposite.

This seems pretty dramatic. Do you have a link to the actual data here?

So cases? We’re talking cases now? What’s the data for children on hospitalizations and fatalities? Still negligible ehh? That’s what i figured.

Context is king. Link to the data? If there were 100X as many districts/schools without mandates, then more cases would be expected from that group. This is most definitely a skewed presentation, so let's see the actual data. Case rate per 100 students and % decreases from a baseline can be apt comparisons. Case counts need context.
