"We Are Taking Our Lives Back!"
'Moving forward students will not be physically removed from the
classroom or receive a discipline consequence to prevent further
exclusionary learning loss.'
By Tyler Durden: Administrators at the Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills, California quickly dropped a mask mandate after hundreds of students walked out on Tuesday. The
walkout was staged in solidarity with students whose parents sent them
to school without masks, who were subsequently dismissed from class.
As the Washington Examiner reported,
Several
parents of students at the school sent the teenagers to school without a
mask, according to Jennifer Yoder, a parent at Oak Ridge. The high
schoolers who showed up without a mask were dismissed from class.
"This was a homegrown thing between the parents and then the kids working together to get everyone on board,"
said Oak Ridge parent, Jennifer Yoder. "It just kept growing and
growing. And then they eventually just got up and left those classrooms
and ran outside and started their protest."
