Students have always been a group primed for a protest, most students see it as a way to either get out of class or virtue signal on social media, and schools have generally been willing to let them do whatever they want. Things are changing however, now that students are standing up to the covid lock down, they are not allowed to protest anymore.
In Wisconsin’s Tomahawk School District students are pushing back against the mask mandate and other covid policies. Students left class in protest of the schools mask policy and now they are all facing charges for truancy.
From The Federalist:
The demonstrations began on May 3, with several students who demanded the district end its mandatory mask policy on school property. On May 5, approximately 50 students walked out after they were dissatisfied with what sources say was a fruitless meeting with the administration.
Ryan Hawley’s high school son walked out the first day of the protests, which was billed as a “No Mask Monday.” The small group of students was met by the school resource officer who told them to put their masks on and go back to class. All but two complied.
“They were told, ‘Either you can put your mask on or go home.’ One of them was my son. He was sent home at 8:30 a.m.,” Hawley said. Like several other parents in the district, Hawley stood behind his children’s cause.
Sad times are ahead for America, but maybe not.
These young students are learning that they will be treated differently by authorities if they hold the “wrong” opinion. This might lead them down a different path in life then they otherwise would have gone down if this did not occur.
To protest always means that you have an opinion that runs contrary to the popular line of thinking. There can always be some kind of consequences.
I have always suspected the Wisconsinites were Wis-constipated cheese-heads. This data point confirms that hypothesis.
It is time for money to these schools, and have the principal or whoever is making these decisions to be fired. These schools have no business being open they are no longer for education.
Perhaps the next step will be to mandate hijabs for the girls. And truancy? It’s ironic that American pupils are forced to attend at the point of a gun but are not protected with equivalent force.
Adults are forced to pay school taxes or lose their homes and businesses. Additionally all are required by the state to pay forever, long after their kids are grown and even if they had no children.
Public education, K-12 through our best universities, is the business of neither federal nor state government. The consequence of ignoring that fact is public education has collapsed intellectually.
It’s a monopoly in a nation where monopoly is considered a criminal enterprise for everyone else but it’s the largest FEDERAL program. The 10th Amendment says: “…powers not delegated … by the Constitution … are reserved to the States….”
ALL “dictatorial” school administrators should be FIRED !! NO ONE has the right to violate the constitutional rights of ANY citizen no matter the age !!
It’s time that public schools be defunded for discriminating against children who choose not to be “woke” and indoctrinated with leftist garbage. We need school choice, and no child should be forced to endure being forced to wear a mask, get a vaccine, or be indoctrinated with leftist, marxist nonsense.
A very high percentage of school administrators have the Hitler dictator complex because they can usually get away with abusing the rights of students and it can get expensive to defend your children.
Good for those student’s, it shows hope for the future. This whole thing has been a SCAMdemic political virus fir control by one world order and demicrap assholes.
