This page contains evidence that masks are harmful for youth.
To this date, there is no evidence masks are safe for youth. It would be too dangerous to conduct such a study.

Supervisory Union FOIA Response, DECEMBER, 2022:
The U.S. Department of Education’s guidance is currently being used to justify masking students and staff in specific classrooms and settings, using IEP and 504 laws:

This letter to the Kingdom East Supervisory Union school board explains the FOIA results, as well as the dangers of using 504 and IEP plans to (confidentially) mask students and staff across the U.S.: https://amyvt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Letter-to-K.E.-School-District.School-Mask-Requirements-Endanger-Health.12.22.pdf
The Detriment of Masking with Dr. Christina Parks:

Children need more oxygen per pound of body weight than adults, and are in critical stages of development which, if missed, may never be recovered again.
Therefore, the risk of masks to their health is likely to be far greater than it is for adults.
School Board Meetings Provide Testimony of Harms:
The Danville school board heard from parents at their October 5th, 2021 meeting. Parents explained that their children are experiencing all the expected harms from wearing masks, including: headaches, skin irritation, social/emotional issues, communication difficulties, dirty masks, and emotional distress.
After hearing the community’s concerns, the Danville school board members passed ongoing mask use for everyone inside the building indefinitely, with no plans to assess or address any of the harms brought up by parents.
Events at the Danville school board meeting made it into the local paper (helping to raise awareness).
The article and the video recording of the entire meeting are available here:
