You all should be ashamed.

The Williamson County, Tennessee school board defied the parents and required students to wear masks this school year. The debate inside the board meeting was firey as the board members decided to force the students to wear masks, ignoring the parents.
The four-hour 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.
Mr. Travis explained the masks don’t work and not one study shows that they do.
We believe parents should decide if they want to force their children to wear masks. In general, school boards are political and represent special interests, not the parents.

The anti mask at schools revolution is underway in Tennessee. These are the people who couldn’t get in the meeting tonight. They’ve never seen a crowd this big before for a school board meeting. pic.twitter.com/GXTDmPks6A

Here are my comments @WCSedu school board tonight on why masks in schools make zero sense. I encourage all of you to speak out at your own school boards: pic.twitter.com/M14ICcZ3wd

Yesterday he spoke to the censorship of Dr. Rand Paul.
“Rand Paul, a doctor and a senator, is now banned for seven days from YouTube for saying that he doesn’t believe that the data reflects that masks work. How in the world is it remotely defensible to not allow #RandPaul to share his opinions?” – @ClayTravis pic.twitter.com/GnSIJVxZ6j

Local it is still optional but mandatory on bus and there are hardly any kids on the bus and the drivers are on union smoke break with the door open.
The Pik N’ Pak on the block has maintain social distancing while the one out in the hinterlands has the mask but I have visited twice with no mask and no one said anything and the bearded up tatted clerk looked like someone sympathetic to going maskless as he had none at the I’d buy that for a dollar store that also has the mask required inside sign.
Maybe parents should return to the days of the “One Room Schoolhouse”. In my youth our Grade School (1-8) had one teacher for two grades, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, in the same room, with four rooms. These days there could be small neighborhoods that basically create their own private schools, outside of any government. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to find teachers to fill such positions. As this would spread, it means the funding would dwindle for Government Schools. In many places there are abandoned malls that could easily convert to school rooms. It Would be a start.
