Things got ugly in Williamson County, Tennessee, as the school board defied the parents and required students to wear masks this school year. The debate inside the board meeting was very heated as the board members decided to force the students to wear masks regardless of what the parents wanted.
The four-hour school board meeting drew a large crowd of freedom protesters including former sports journalist and conservative political commentator Clay Travis, who has children that attend schools in the district. Local news report:
Apparently, the dancing Tik-Tok and Healthcare workers union showed up to advocate for forced masks and said any of the parents who were not compliant were trying to endanger the children. The factions within Tennessee became clear quickly as the totalitarians started shutting down the voices of the parents in opposition to their social control plan.
Things really got ugly when Joe Biden’s coalition of supporters and condescending Tik-Tok healthcare workers left the building and were surrounded by angry parents.
It befuddles me how wearing a mask (or not) is not just a decision left up to the individual parents, teachers and employees within the school. If a parent wants to mask their child they should, if a parent doesn’t – that should be an option also. Same for teachers and everyone else. Why can’t these school boards leave it up to the individual?

Having lived in Williamson County for many years, I can tell you that it has been a target by liberals for a long time. For many years, it had one of the top 10 best school districts in the country and was one of the top 10 richest counties in the country. It was Marsha Blackburn’s congressional district and very red. Still mostly is but has been invaded by hollywood and music business big money liberals like Sheryl Crow, Steven Tyler, etc. trying to escape what they did in California. And Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have always been big libs. Conservatives chose Williamson County to live if they worked in liberal Nashville/Davidson County. Libs are successfully destroying Nashville and are now turning on Williamson County. Libs love to start with school boards. I think the schools are no longer in the top 10. They are driving up the housing costs like crazy! Lots of Californians moving in. I finally moved to West Tennessee to get away from it. Its very sad. And heartbreaking.
Welcome to the Treehouse TNscrapper! 😀
Interesting info but I know enough to know Tennessee RINOs like the Haslam’s and Bob Corker don’t help the America First cause, either.
Don’t despair. Their fake political lives are produced by fake political news that has to be hidden under social-masking, due to the fear of losing their social-privilege, in their quarantined pharmaceutical utopia.
Totalitarian social-engineering and threats of worldwide mass causalities by social-supremacists in white lab coats making political demands, is not just anti-American, but might fit the definition of terrorism. My opinion only.

-All Tennessee House Republicans ask Gov. Bill Lee to call a special session as school mask debates intensify (Tennessean)
“We believe there is a need to curtail the overreach by independent health boards and officials, confirm a parent’s right to make decisions that impact the mental and physical health of their children, provide support and direction to schools to ensure educators are properly compensated for COVID-19 leave, and protect all Tennesseans from misdirected mandates designed to limit their ability to make their own decisions,” the caucus wrote to the governor.

I sure hope you didn’t go to Memphis, Mogadishu on the Mississippi.
New Yorkers are moving to Virginia. I give them hell on our local Social Media!
Tennessee is a Dominion fraud state. It seems fairly obvious now that Soros Inc has been installing ringers up and down the ballot, including ‘elected’ school boards. No way that this many duly elected school board members would go full Commie so fast.
Mark Kelly is the installed white mayor (spit) of Chattanooga, a multi-millionaire big OBAMA donor. No way that bastard was elected in conservative Chattanooga.
The Leftoid is already mewling about diversityinclusionEquity, DIE, honky, DIE. And screeching that he’s going to make Chattanooga gov’t “look more like Chattanooga, ” commie code for hiring a bunch of lowlife crooks and corruptocrats.
Oh yes, the Noog has that damned Dominion vote rigging software.
Chattanooga received LOTS of fedGov $$$ during the Obama admin
Bob Corker is the former mayor of Chattanooga and look what a liar he turned out to be! Fake Republican! Big Obama buddy. He couldn’t have run for re-election in Tennessee and he knew it. Glad we got Hagerty but was afraid he might turn out to be another Corker, but so far so good. Dominion rigging is definitely happening in TN too! We managed to override it this time by the sheer numbers voting. Not sure we can next time.
Get the General assembly to mandate paper ballots only.

The School Board can’t/won’t “leave it up to the individual”,… because the first priority of the School Board now is to Control and Indoctrinate,….. for total Compliance.
“Mount Up,… Resist!” They work for us on our property tax dollars.
All schools that I am aware of must conduct a student count for the first 10 days of classes. This is how the state and feds decided how much money the district will get. The solution to this is to not send your child for the first 10 days but go in their stead, sit in their seat, etc. This would hopefully frighten the school about how much money they will lose to drop these unhealthy and emotionally damaging mask mandates.
Decisions by the left never make any sense because they’re exclusively rooted in exerting and maintaining power.
It’s “do what I say…or else.”
The parents should make a list of all the school board members names and where their kids go to school to be sure they have to wear masks all day. Newsome’s son went to a tennis camp and no masks.. When caught he pulled his son out. Just to make sure no double standard.
Someone posted about “FTE” and how schools are funded.

This is old, but has some interesting details about Williamson County expenditures of the time. Williamson County was spending over $8000 per student; Franklin Special School District within Williamson, over $13,000 per student.

A hundred years ago, when the government institutesd racist policies to segregate schools in compliance with Jim Crow “science” of the times…
… millionaire Julius Rosenwald teamed up with Booker T Washington to design and build schools for black children. The Rosenwald schools were built in rural communities where children were going uneducated (against the wishes of their parents).
The Rosenwald Schools were designed for areas without electricity and wealth… interesting to learn more about, because as we construct a parallel system, the example may be useful

This will keep getting hotter and hotter. They’re feeling the heat and don’t know how to stop it. They won’t be able to.
The only way to fight against these people whom I would not doubt at all, that they are being paid a lot of money each, to do what they are told to do. However, you people need to say No. Do not do it. Stay firm in this right decision. They are your children, not theirs. Please stand up for your true rights and freedoms. As I have said before. There are few of them, and many of you.
What is the final solution when the debate ends and no one will compromise?
The final solution is free will. Don’t put a mask on your kid. Let them send thousands of kids home. Then do it again. And again….until finally, enough is enough.
If we all stopped paying taxes. This would end in a hurry. Yes, it would result in them trying to mass arrest people. But, if we all stopped paying taxes…..that would be an earthquake.
There has to be a breaking point
At our school board meeting on Tuesday night we clearly told every school board member that they were on notice — as of Tuesday — that if they force any child to wear a mask or be vaccinated they will be held personally responsible for any harm that comes to that child due to forced masks or vaccines. We told them that did not just mean within the next year or two, but for years to come.
We gave each school board member legal notice of that fact in print.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.
I wonder if it would be of any value to attack the central premise upon which the maskers rely; they justify their aggression by claiming that masks prevent an infected person from transmitting that infection to others. There is no evidence of such a claim. It is unreasonable to suggest that this is so. Incidentally, remember when homosexual activities were shown to transmit the actually deadly AIDS virus? Remember how this information was suppressed by Fauci to avoid “stigmatizing” homosexuals? How many died as a result and how many feared the scaremongering that AIDS was about to explode into the general community? You can contemplate why the response is so different here.
I pray that people continue to fight this and demand 100% victory. Not an inch should be given here as this is the test case of whether our corrupt system can compel parents to sacrifice their children to the caprice of these gangsters.
I believe there are going to be some major upsets for school boards all across the nation when the 2022 elections get here. Parents are finally waking up to the fact that they need to be deeply involved with the way their children are being educated. Unless we want this nation to become a communist one, we need to take back control of our public schools. It’s not just about the masks, that CRT garbage has no business being taught to any student. Many of the so called teachers working in public schools, have no children of their own and are totally clueless as to how children should be raised. It’s quite obvious that when they open their ignorant mouths, that they got their teaching degree from a leftist college of lowered expectations.
My children grew up and left the nest several decades ago. There were times when I had issues with a few teachers during my children’s time in public school, but I dealt with them, including pursuing formal complaints against them with the school district. One teacher was even forced to retire when she was told her contract wasn’t going to be renewed for the next school year. Another one, and assistant principal at the junior high, was not promoted to a principal’s position because of formal complaints filed against him, one of them by me, so he retired a bitter man, angry at everyone except the person responsible for his unacceptable behavior, that being himself.
Parents, GET INVOLVED with the local school boards. TAKE BACK the control over how your children are being educated. Once you get that power back, NEVER again give it up. Now you know, the creeps on the school boards are not there to look after your child’s best interests, but to promote their own leftist agenda. They will continue to push so long as they think they can get away with it. So, DON’T let them get away it.
Every County should be doing this (protesting)!
So I notice a difference here. The police are protecting the Mask nazi’s. I do not recall seeing the police protect people during the Antifa riots? Infact the police were non existing.
Shades of the Battle of Athens (TN) in 1946. Mess with the Volunteers at your own risk.
Salt lake schools board votes for mask mandate.
Luckily city council blocked it. Ksl.com/article/502244
Big Government ONLY knows to solve problems with One Size Fits All “solutions”. It’s easier and simpler that way and all you have to do to confirm compliance is have everybody “Check the Box”. ???
Two questions NEVER heard in this type of settings and especially in the media (social media as well. 1. How many deaths due to Covid 19 for people under 70 with no underlying health problems? 2. How many cases of C19 are from illegal aliens who are streaming by the thousands on the southern border? Crickets!

Here’s a great political response that offers a solution while illustrating the illogic and the trespass of the Williamson County School Board. It also models how we need to recognize we’re all in this together.

This neighboring county mayor is also a friend of mine, from before he accepted the challenge to go into elected service. He’s the real deal, as a serious Christian foremost (not just a church-goer) and as a thinking conservative. He devoted many years to, and suffered the scars from, fighting the sex trafficking industry. He also knows inside Washington as well as the state capital. He deserves watching, and he deserves your prayers. Despite his quiet, thoughtful personality, he will not back down.
