It is coming to my attention that even states lifting mask mandates are still requiring masks in the school. It looks like they are intending to continue it at least till next fall. I was told this by an Arizona teacher. Here in my state they will not give us anything (it is up to districts). Parents can file grievances but it’s beginning to look as though its just a sham and we can’t get anyone to release our kids from this abuse. There are so many things happening at once, with vaccines and passports and court packing, and whatever else. What are they planning with our kids? The virus doesn’t spread in the schools, kids don’t spread it, kids don’t carry it and kids don’t get sick from it but let’s unmask the adults and mask the kids? I’ve been hearing they will get money through 2023 if they have mitigation. I know, I know, I can homeschool but this is more than just my kids. This is deeply disturbing. I was told by a parent today that some districts are pushing to make mandatory mask during flu season permanently. I keep trying to figure out if this coordinated or just a coincidence. Is it about money, power or something else. How in the heck do we save our kids?

I thought about homeschooling but I have a special needs 7yo who needs things I can’t provide. The other kids want to go to school, I teach them to be free thinkers and warn them about what they will face. They are already weird kids who embrace it and don’t care about being popular and my one son I’ve had problems with him getting in trouble for not being politically correct since third grade. I also have 6 kids oldest being 16, I think I have taught him and all the other kids well and they always seem to find friends with similar values. I’m pretty obnoxious about my views. They will eventually have to enter the adult world and they will hopefully know how to navigate it and not be afraid. That’s what they want is for us to be afraid to be called a racist or a bigot or whatever. I feel like we have to take a stand and take back OUR schools! We pay for them! I’m so fired up right now, I could march on the school board :)
I think you should! Go in there and tell them all what idiots they are! I wish I could be so brave. I feel like parents know what's best for their kids and we are all doing our best to make it through. The school system as a whole is completely failing our children and I'm disappointed in it all. I have two kids with adhd and they were required to fail for 3 years before they could get help. The teachers wanted them medicated in order to sit still and be quiet so they don't disturb the class and then send home all their day work for us to do at home. It is infuriating. I can do that at home without them being away for 7 hours a day! The Lord really pressed upon me that this is what my kids needed, so I listened. It's not perfect and we aren't doing as much as most but we are learning. 6 kids is hard and your doing amazing I'm sure! I'm the youngest of 6 and, we all turned out ok! ? I think for this world to change, we need to be awakened to how bad it really is, and then have good people get in there and fight for the right things.
Good for you! We have to take care of our children and you trust your momma instincts. I can handle this! I’m trying to tell other moms they have to brave but bravery comes in all forms. I’m lucky with what I was given in my situation and the fact that I have no real friends here because we just moved so I’m not scared of losing any. You are also making a statement by taking funds away from the school!
