If I wanted to cripple the development an entire generation of children, I can hardly imagine a better way than government mandated isolation, enforced by law and social pressure, with daily reminders of how good this miserable experience is and how bad people who try to go against it are, unless they are engaging in "fiery, but most peaceful protests."
And on top of that forcing children to wear masks whenever they're in public and forcing everyone they interact with outside their household also to wear masks so that their ability to read and interpret facial expressions and social queues is permanently hindered. The effect that must have has on the social development of young children is incalculable.
We're at the point where you'd have to purge the entire staff at a lot of schools, replace them exclusively with people who have grandchildren and four American citizen grandparents, and torch every textbook published before 1960 just to start undoing the rot.
You make good points, though I would not say the effect is incalculable, just not a calculation that anyone on the left will consider for at least a generation.
I will say that the damage can likely be mitigated through training and practice, similar to occupational therapy for autistic children, but again the calculations must be done for the problem to be addressed, so these kids are definitely behind the curve for the foreseeable future.
Laws in the sense of a specific act signed by a legislature, no. But broadly speaking the agencies have their power because the legislatures gave it to them and the courts (to the extent that complaints have been brought before them) decided these agencies were not wrongly using the power vested in them.

No one should be allowed to be a teacher who doesn't have children of their own.

You would be correct. I had misremembered people losing their jobs as a consequence of laws being passed, not mandates being enforced. Thank you.
Soft tyranny enforced not by written law but social mechanisms.
Why they now say "no one forced you to"
Like in New Brunswick how no one forced anyone to not be able to buy groceries without qn experimental injection 🙄🙄🙄
The govt didn't do it, they just made not doing it a humiliation ritual with financial penalties
