Thanks. I have been all over the CIF site and cannot find anything even mentioning it. On top of that, I dont think legally they can mandate equipment that does not carry the NOCSAE seal, and as far as I know none of the defensive facemasks are NOCSAE approved.

Probably just some parents who think the masks should be mandatory spreading rumors they know nothing about.
