Private school parent teacher night this week. (Catholic school)
They issued a school wide mask mandate tonight after an attempt at no mask policy. This policy is for all teachers, students, guests.
Not planning on wearing a mask. Anyone have any experience navigating this? Any material I should bring to provide to the faculty if I’m hassled or asked to leave?
I went to my sons recital. Walked in sat down no one said anything cause I look like I’ll crush their skulls

Please see my update
We went (public) school. Only Family kids and all no mask they didn't say shit. One lady at the door said we need the masks there is some on the table . I walked right past them met both kids teachers. Not one issue! Do not give in
Hire two very large men to accompany you if you're not the intimidating type. I think it just might be worth it.
Make them dress like secret service
This. When my kid's principle kicked us out, he got up in my face and puffed up his chest in an obvious attempt to physically intimidate me. I guarantee he would not have done that if my husband had been there with us.
I am absolutely not kidding. I'm not a woman, but I am not a large man who commands bodily respect with my 6' 150 lb frame. It's no different for a woman, who will be even smaller.
Meanwhile, the only reason all of this is allowed to go on is because we have police (very large men, with guns, armor, reinforcements, and legal assistance), who actively subvert us.
Dip into that savings account. Stroll into the PTA meeting with armed bodyguards.
We’re in the age of Chad now.

Make up some flyers with data from here showing the harm masks to do kids, besides being completely ineffective. Include your sources so they can go home and look them up.
If anyone gives you a hassle, you give them the facts. Hard to argue with facts and you might educate someone in the process.
Just to follow up here…
Since the school implemented the mandate, a handful of students have been sent home for not complying with the masking rules, and parents have been blocked from student portals, and asked where they would like their students records sent. This was the immediate reaction of the administration. No conversation. No discussion to gain understanding.. simply dismiss the child and tell the parents to take them somewhere else. They’re even asking how they want a refund delivered without request … the craziest part is one of these students were only 6 years old.
I’m at a loss. I feel like we have lost hope. For my significant other and I - I feel as though the only thing keeping us sane is that we are in this together.
Also, last minute parent teacher night was canceled due to Covid.
This is unbelievable… I can’t rationalize this. Children are of zero risk. In our entire state not one single child under 10 has died from Covid.
How are more “Christian” parents not outraged. It makes me feel as though we are really losing and people are not waking up…. And (unrelated but valid) I’ll be left jobless, and with a child that can’t have an education unless we comply. I have a mortgage to pay and a family to care for. At what point do I have to fall in line to keep them safe?
If there is a plan, I pray it comes soon.
Sorry to hear of your situation. We’ve already done 1 1/2 years of school online. Back to in person learning this year. I made up my mind I will pull my kid out of they try to go back to masks. Judging by the actions they’ve taken, I believe the people running your school are the type that would facilitate vaccination without parental consent. As parents we have one job, to protect our kids, by any means necessary. Again, good luck
I agree with you.’I think we need to get a plan together for this scenario. Appreciate the insight. Good luck to you as well.
With the fda “approval”, the covidians are emboldened. Not that they are getting more people to support but the ones who do drink the cool aid are now shotgunning it by the pitcher. If you think you will have a productive encounter by attempting to go in without a mask, you may be disappointed. Instead stand outside the entrance and get the contact info of all the other parents who oppose the mask mandate, then coordinate a group meeting and formulate a plan to challenge the school board/ district, if enough people push back, they will fold. It has already happened in based communities all over the country. Good luck!
I appreciate the advice. Unfortunately the event didn’t even occur. See my update.
