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?
.
Voting will not solve the problem. Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Talking is cheap, and we all know that. Blood will flow.
and if the children show up without a mask, what can they do? Nothing, absolutely nothing. They will be forced to school the children at their home
NYC empty threat. The child cannot be sent home if the parent is working.
Students who don’t comply with requirements to wear masks in schools will be sent home and barred from in-person learning, schools Chancellor Richard Carranza told parent leaders on Tuesday, a position he said is essential for maintaining public health.
“It sounds harsh,” Carranza said. “I’m just telling you if you don’t wear your face covering, if you don’t wear your [personal protective equipment], if you don’t cooperate, you have now elected for remote learning 100% until you are willing to follow the safety protocols.”
People raise well adjusted, decent young adults by home schooling or “remote learning”. Maybe that way parents will be in tune with what their kids are being taught.
If only there were a way to home school and not have to pay government school taxes!!!
They are due at the end of the year, usually. Just don’t pay them.
The Sherriff will auction yours asses …assets to the highest bidder. So much for your Freedom. Yes, we own NOTHING. NOTHING..NOTHING.
It will take thousands of us to stand up to this tyranny. Until then, we are FKCK.
A friend of mine did just that. She started homeschooling her kids this year.
My two kids home schooled all their children last year and are continuing again this year, even though there is no current mask mandate in place. They loved it! Lots of really great home school on line programs out there and money to be had, just as if they were regular students.
Nice!!
Yeah, nice, but we could use a couple million more. Do it.
Demand a refund of your property taxes since you are no longer receiving the services for which you were taxed.
And have as many parents as possible sign it.
If the kids refuse to wear a mask then what? Are the schools going load them all up on a bus and send them home or are they going to call a parent to come pick them up? What happens if the parent doesn’t come get them for a couple of hours? Then the kids will be at school without a mask.
This is exactly how these parents should proceed. There is absolutely zero the school can do about it. Zero
Do you think any young child will refuse to wear a mask?
If they show up at school maskless, a teacher will provide them with a mask. That is my bet. It will be done with no parents there to defend them.
It’s what schools have been doing for decades. They don’t indoctrinate them in your presence. They wait until you are gone and use their authority and peer pressure (which they guide) to do the rest.
Reason why parents must show up everyday without masks until they relent.
Carry a baseball bat, and use it.
Are kids really that easy to push around or that indifferent to their parents’ wishes?
In some ways I was rather sensitive as a kid, but if my dad told me something was important for me to do and I needed to stick to it even if my teachers insisted otherwise, I wouldn’t have given a flying f*ck about the teachers. I also would have thought that was pretty normal.
Send a letter with your kid that they are positive. Hand to teacher. All quarantine.
Sand in their gears
Or move them to a private school.
Some of these members don’t seem to want the job anyway.. Should be easy parents..vote the bums out.
Demand their resignations across the board.
I posted before about installing HVAC systems that have humidistats, co2 detectors, expensive hepa filters and on plenum side right after the evaporator/condenser coils intense ultraviolet light. The hepa filters catch most of the particles the UV light kills 99% of the mold, bacteria and virus. The co2 detectors bring in fresh outside air when co2 levels are unsafe. High levels of co2 can cause concentration problems, headaches and other health problems. The mask can cause high levels of co2. These HVAC systems have been installed in schools for over 20 yrs. School districts that do not have them should get rid of the school boards and administrators that did not follow the science to protect the students.
absolutely, mike>.
and the uv treatment can clear large areas relatively cheaply, and as important, safely.
Yes, and the UV light treatments eliminate the need for the children to ingest bleach, as President Trump had suggested/s.
Just had to add some sick humor to this horrendous situation.
These people are absolutely freakin nuts to think a child is endangered by NOT WEARING A MASK.
Think about how the average adult wears/stores a mask – mostly everyone is wearing a contaminated mask – now think of a kid and how much that mask is touched, moved, dropped, etc.
But bottom line, FREE PEOPLE SHOULD BE FREE to make their own individual choices whether to mask or not mask themselves and their children.
Exactly!! I’ve been saying the same thing. Where is the COVID money for these improvements? Huh???
I thought the Democrats cared about our children’s health! Guess not so much.
Notice the cops are there to do the bidding of the tyrants . They are not there to support the oath they took . It is secondary to their pension . They have chosen their side . Let it begin !
That’s the difference between a PEACE OFFICER and Law ENFORCEMENT.
Please tell me you don’t still believe that the police are there to serve the public! Virtually every governmental organization is a corporation. Local LEOS are no different from private security forces – they serve and follow the orders of their paymasters. Serve the public? Sorry, no. The only true law enforcement officer that answers to you, the one who outranks even the Feds, is your County Sheriff.
Yep.
Exactly. The ‘great peacemaker’ in this video keeps saying they are “on our side”. All he manages to do is let the scumbags get away. The POLICE ARE NOT ON OUR SIDE!!!!!!! There is ZERO evidence for this repeated claim!
That’s how they run presidential elections, too.
Yep.
Homeschool. Problem solved.
.
Where in hell do they get off not doing what their constituencies want them to do.
DON’T SEND YOUR KIDS. JUST DON’T. YOU DON’T WANT MANDATES? STAND UP TO THEM.
Don’t let your poor kids spend another year behind masks. Children don’t get sick from Covid. They do grow God knows what on their masks from wearing them all day, and the CO2 levels are unhealthy. Just…don’t send them until they rescind it, which they will. PARENTS AND TAXPAYERS, COME ON.
.
Parents need to get together and form plans for group-supportive “home schooling”.
Many states have coalitions of parents who can home school in group settings. Great way to educate your kids and parents have a say in the curriculum.
Just as it was in the early last century. Locals hired teachers to teach their children in the “one room school house”. I attended one of those and we worked at our own pace. When we moved to CA I was two grades ahead of my age placement and was bored out of my mind the first two years. The teacher would ask me a question as I stared out the window and I always knew the answer. Much better way to educate our kids.
After the ’92 LA riots, lots of poor parents were scraping together $100/mo to send their kids to 1 room schools with 3 grades together…no drugs, no guns, no backtalk.
Good education. Safe. Respectful. The gun and drug infested schools were not happy.
Screw them.
You go Girl.
I think many states that didn’t allow some aspects of homeschooling in a group, do now. Anyway, it’s time to push the boundaries, and if authorities have a problem with it, say, well, you weren’t schooling them. You can’t stand in the way of me handling it.
I have advocated this. This will solve the problem. Cut the funding out!
Arrange group home schooling with online courses. Rotate parental oversight.

My kids do not have children yet but this is what we’d do.
PS make sure the kids learn real American Civics.
.
Definitely. I recommend starting with The American Reader — Words That Moved a Nation (Ravitch) — great stuff you can read even to very youngsters and combine with history and literature — and steering clear of any modern “textbooks”.
Do something!
Yeah, give us an idea, Smart one.
Clearly, what America needs most right now is tar and feathers and lots of them.
Those assholes in Washington need to be removed, every FNKN ONE OF THEM.
Public school is a text book example of what is wrong with monopolies and government run monopolies are the worst. The covid scam highlights this again. And everyone is forced to pay for it.
School boards are a lot like homeowners’ associations. The members have that big fish in a little pond syndrome. Some may be dedicated leftists, but most are not. They are very risk-averse, uninformed, wishy-washy, and usually quite dim-witted.
I’m glad my kids are out of school, though I do have three grandchildren in the county next to Williamson County. So far, so good there, but that can change in a heartbeat.
The way for parents to handle this is to sue the school board every single time their child gets sick, whether it’s influenza, strep throat, or the common cold. Wearing masks is NOT healthy for kids and everybody knows it. Let the board be hit by hundreds of lawsuits and they may change their minds. It’s what the left does when they don’t get their way.
Absolutely, and deny the school board the right to pay any attorney more than the parents have paid to sue them. Get your school board documents and go through them with a fine-toothed comb. Use their rules against them.
SUE ???????????????/ Vote??????????????? Wake up.. Time is up.
It take a
villagetyrannical power mad school board to raise a child.Sundance,you of all people,this should be perfectly clear too,
“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?”
Control. That’s why!!
The stupid reporter really needed to wear that useless silly mask?
The media are part of the communist authoritarian dictatorship. Evil nazis.
Remove the board members. Call for a special election and elect members that will do what the people want. And tell the tic toc nurses to mind their own business.
This country is being torn apart by masks. These globalists continue to play us for fools. Please God help us to know what to do.
“This country is being torn apart by masks…………….”
No. This country is being torn apart by politicians. The masks are just a prop in their bag tricks aimed at controlling us.
You are so right “resolute”.
It is not the mask mandate that is tearing our country apart but the liberal politicians and people who support these crackpot ideas who have rode roughshod over all of us for several decades.
The mask mandate is just one more tool they are using to hogtie us and our families against our will to their nasty ideologies and we need to say NO with all of our heart, minds and all of our soul.
We will need to do what Rand Paul suggests and not comply with every ounce of the free will that we have left in what ever way we fell inspired to do so.
Some will do it one way and some will do it another but if done with the inspired help I hope we all seek we will see it working towards the goal of fixing our beautiful countries sickness.
The one thing we all need to remember is that We Are Not Alone.
The marxists are hurting our children. Are you ok with that?
Yup, nothing stirs things into a frenzy faster than incursions on children. Stupid move by the Communists IMO. They could’ve left the kids alone. Oh, well.
Exactly.
Parents should be working to shut that school system down.
“I didn’t sign up for this”
Then quit.
The only way forward is to get in these people’s faces, take your kids out of government schools, and harass these totalitarian wannabes every day. Flood email boxes, jam phone lines, show up at every meeting in massive groups and be vocal.
Right on, Ellis.
This doc’s plea was 8 mo’s ago. If this doesn’t motivate parents, grandparents…not sure what will.

Yes! She was so special! Then tell us, oh wise one, what did you signup for?
Get your kids out of public schools!! Pulled mine out when the 5th grade teacher had my son teaching!!! What?? Who is teaching him? She could not answer that question. He was gone from her classroom & public school the next day! And believe me, that school principal along with the Superindant knew why!!
That board members comment stood out to me too. Her point was that she did not run for office to make medical decisions for people. It was right on target.
One of my favorite things about President Trump is his ability to assign responsibility to whom it belongs. One example is how he forced Mexico to significantly mitigate the illegal immigration problem and they blocked their southern border.
Teachers, the government, the liberal owners of corporations have no standing in my medical decisions because they have no responsibility or accountability for the results. They want everyone to believe they have standing, but they do not.
I think they know it based on the airlines announcement of their vax policies.
The only real way to correct this is to pressure the Governor to issue an EO banning mask mandates. In the interim parents should refuse to comply. If no students come to school, things will change. I know that is not reasonable because a great number of parents are not in a position to homeschool their children, but resistance and refusing to comply is the most effective tactic.
Gov Abbott of Texas did that. EO for no mask mandates in Texas. The blue school districts are suing him about the EO. I hope that the judges will throw these lawsuits from the get go.
“Dancing Tik-Tok workers”?
This country is so f—–ed.
totally agree, rob.
the dancing nurses are vile beyond belief.
in the good old days when the medical fields were generally populated with people who wanted to do the best for their patients,
that would have swiftly been followed with an H.R. report and disciplinary action.
how times have changed….
It would not surprise me if they had dancing mandates last year.?
The destruction of the doctor-patient relationship was a feature of ACA. Look at how many are government order takers instead of healers.
Look at how many allowed their patients to suffer and/or die of covid when there are proven, available and safe drugs and therapeutics available.
agree 100%, MAJA.
clinicians who graduated during and after obamacare can be a rather mercenary bunch, sad to say.
“Why can’t these school boards leave it up to the individual?”
Because these are government run schools. You can’t take politics out of politics.
It seems that way. Now if it was a bunch of Antifa/BLM/La Raza/Occupy protesters then they’d be caving.
Don’t force your kids into this fight.
Just don’t send them to a place, a free man would not tread.
Don’t comply take your kid to school without mask get arrested they don’t have the authority strength in numbers.
Have some “instant response” parents on call, on auto dial, if any of you get arrested, 10 or more. Be prepared to leave your work on an early lunch or something and turn up en masse.
This was 8 months ago!

Just like Jesuw and the moneychangers tables
Tennessean here. It appears that Tennessee is just like many overall conservative states. There are always factions of anti-freedom groups. They tend to cluster in the Educational system.
Today, because I’m trying to buy Local, I drove 45 minutes to a small “local”, “rural” business to make a large purchase. I was asked if I was vaccinated. I said no. The proprietor asked me to wait outside, so I did. I could see her mind calculating the cost if she lost the sale. It was hot and humid, but I waited for her to bring me everything I wanted. It was a lot of work for her, running back and forth. I gave her the list up front. I waited patiently and smiled a lot. I was never invited in, but I watched her heart soften.
Whether it’s school boards or local businesses, we can’t live in fear. I’m trying to live my best life within my values.
Color me stupid, many have, but what I can’t come up with is: what is the benefit to the numbnuts on the skool board voting against the wishes of parents when they know the parents are nearly universally against them? Seriously, I don’t get it.
They’re in somebody’s pocket. Their unbending anti-child, anti-parent stance must be very profitable.
Would love to see a parents spread around these meeting rooms vaping through masks. They could do a coordinated routine like synchronized swimming!
Wait, WHAT?!?!?….Kelsey Gibbs… The Reporterette….Wearing a MASK…Outside….Talking to a Camera?…..
She’s wearing the Mask of Stupidity
Buckle down and pull every kid out of school and home school. You don’t have to do it forever. I would bet they wouldn’t make it to Thanksgiving. Get them out before the first FTE count. Find out when it is. Regardless of attendance at other times, FTE count is the number the money is based on. 80% out at that time and the system loses bunches of money.
Maybe several families get together and one parent quits their job to teach. Other families pitch in to pay and make up the difference.
I have talked with several parents who said that they could get their kids schooling done in 3-4 hours, the curricula was interesting, and the rest of the day was free. Better educated, too. Happy kids.
Finally Americans are fighting back. Time to hold the fascist thugs accountable. Make them regret their oppressive ways.
Typical libs. “I want…….” These people want everyone to become sheep. Has anyone demanded these dictators show valid scientific data that shows face diapers have any proven benefit.? Why not?
You know why, Sundance, control pure and simple.
The parents have a real quandary on their hands.
For some homeschooling and the like, such as those neighborhood pods that started springing up when the ‘social distancing’ started might be a place to being; others might simply stop paying local taxes that cover schools and other things in the local community would surely get the attention of those who were voted into office once they realize they won’t be getting paid might be another way?
Can local school districts have recall elections?
Stop paying school taxes and pull the children from the school system. Then citizen arrest the school board for child abuse.
This is Franklin, TN, a very wealthy and conservative area of the country. This will be interesting.
Look at that whining, narcissistic board member, saying she didn’t sign up for this! Who in the hell does she thinks pays her damn salary?
Resign, bitch. It’s not all about you.
Unless Tennessee school boards are different than other states; school board members do not receive a salary.
It’s more of a ego trip for a parent or wanna-be educator; at least from what I have experienced over my lifetime.
She needs to be bitch slapped, big time.
I don’t see masks on these school board members.
Why do kids have to go back to school in the middle of August? When there are heat advisories outside and A/C units are overworked in the buildings? Everyone, teachers included, must be miserable. Why not return to the classroom after Labor Day Weekend when it starts to cool off a little? Kids should not be forced to wear masks in the classroom or anywhere for that matter.
Good. Stand up and fight back.
My brother whose kids are grown up looked into the list of “problematic books” being removed from and the “sex education” materials they’re giving to kids age 12 in the Thousand Oaks, CA schools.
Imagine every slang word for male/female anatomy and all forms of sexual intercourse among homo and heterosexual partners you’ve ever heard of and that’s what they’re teaching these kids.
Some parents have formed into groups (political, marketing/PR, etc.) to address this disgusting propaganda. They are planning on handing out flyers to all the parents who drop their kids off at school when they return next week letting them know what’s going on
We must all get involved!
Suicide and eating disorders are also rampant in Thousand Oaks schools, from reports I have heard.
Send your children to healthy places where they can thrive as human beings
German Neurologist On Face Masks: ‘Oxygen Deprivation Causes Permanent Neurological Damage’
The reinhalation of our exhaled air will without a doubt create oxygen deficiency and a flooding of carbon dioxide. We know that the human brain is very sensitive to oxygen deprivation. There are nerve cells for example in the hippocampus that can’t be longer than 3 minutes without oxygen – they cannot survive.
The acute warning symptoms are headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, issues in concentration, slowing down of reaction time – reactions of the cognitive system. However, when you have chronic oxygen deprivation, all of those symptoms disappear, because you get used to it. But your efficiency will remain impaired and the under-supply of oxygen in your brain continues to progress.
We know that neurodegenerative diseases take years to decades to develop. If today you forget your phone number, the breakdown in your brain would have already started 20 or 30 years ago.
While you’re thinking that you have gotten used to wearing your mask and rebreathing your own exhaled air, the degenerative processes in your brain are getting amplified as your oxygen deprivation continues.
The second problem is that the nerve cells in your brain are unable to divide themselves normally. So in case our governments will generously allow as to get rid of the masks and go back to breathing oxygen freely again in a few months, the lost nerve cells will no longer be regenerated. What is gone is gone. This applies to everybody of any age .
To deprive a child’s or an adolescent’s brain from oxygen, or to restrict it in any way, is not only dangerous to their health, it is absolutely criminal. Oxygen deficiency inhibits the development of the brain, and the damage that has taken place as a result CANNOT be reversed.
Dementia is going to increase exponentially and the younger generations won’t be able to reach their God-given potential.
I know how damaging oxygen deprivation is for the brain, cardiologists know how damaging it is for the heart, pulmonologists know how damaging it is for the lungs. Oxygen deprivation damages every single organ.
It’s not about masks, it’s not about viruses, it’s certainly not about your health. It is about much much more.
We are responsible for what we think, not the media. We are responsible for what we do, not our superiors. We are responsible for our health, not the World Health Organization. And we are responsible for what happens in our country, not the government.”
What are they going to do when 2/3 of the kids show up without or take off their masks in the middle of class?
My Pilates teacher who is 70 and just wrote her first book and it is getting published!! anyway..she has 5 kids she home schooled them all.and this was obviously before the internet..and the materials and supplies where shared with other home schoolers..that had to be hard..but they did it..and just as a side note..all the kids went to college, excelled.and are excelling in life. the only one who opted not to go to college..forged his own path as a master builder of luxury log homes…
Home schools are needed options but not for everyone.
This fractured school board situation seems like some kind of voucher system waiting to happen.
Exactly, Annie. Time for parents to take on the responsibility as parents and grown-ups and homeschool. Leaving your kids in these gulags is gutless and wrong, and kneeling before tyrants is really pathetic.
Vouchers merely perpetuate the government’s hold on education, continue the violence/theft-base system of funding, and provide an easy justification to impose the same BS regulations, curricula requirements, etc. upon all who take the stolen monies. Parents need to step up and finally take personal responsibility for the children they chose to have. Its not society’s job (though obviously I would support private scholarships, charity schools that are funded privately, etc.).
MrLiberty, there’s more than just vouchers. There are excellent charter schools who teach reading, writing and arithmetic, as well as American and World History, not the socialist crap being taught by teachers who should NEVER be around children of any age.
Better yet, when no kids show up. Kids ARE Not learning ! They are being indoctrinated
Keep em home

In most areas, one must prove “malfeasance” before a recall is allowed. Just more government protecting government from the people. Tar and feathers was the preferred method of those in the colonies. Maybe it needs to make a comeback.
