I'm pretty pissed off about this. The kid is 9 years old and hasn't worn a mask in almost 4 months plus and now a few days before school starts and they pull this crap.
I've begun trying to reach out to other parents, but I am not sure about resources. I've heard a few success stories, but are there any resources people can share, I want to fight this modern day form of child abuse.
My 11 year old is facing the same issue. However it is our County Health Dept. that is forcing it.
3 weeks ago I got an email from the school saying NO MASKS. Then a week later the county HD said under 12 need a mask. My son is in Middle school (6th grade) and his grade is the only grade required to wear one. 7th and 8th graders don't have too because they are 12 and older.
It doesn't make any sense. If that doesn't wake anyone up.
Straight up comparable to the restaurant analogy where the virus can't get you if you're sitting down but can if you're not at your table.
If we forced people to use LOGIC instead of FEELINGS, we would never have got in this mess.
The Gov of Michigan got her power stripped, but not before she gave a bunch of power to the health dept's. Its a tough battle when we are up against unelected people who believe a square peg can fit in a round hole because its the same color.
That’s weird, in my province it’s 12 and older need to wear a mask but fucken gymnastics class is saying 5 and up need to wear a mask. They won’t even respond to an email I sent asking why. If I go down there kid will prob get kicked out by the time I’m done with them so .....
Child abusers seek to dehumanize children... they have always done so.
I've lost faith in literally every sector of public life that is run by anyone, but I've still got faith in regular everyday people that something good will happen soon.
I hope so too but I’ve been disappointed by our side. Gods got us fren
I feel you fren. Every district surrounding ours had no mandate until the county enforced one at the 11th hour before school was set to start.
I'm in Gretchen witchmer land.
Running for the board is something I brought up in a convo last week. Went along the lines of "if they bring back masks for children, i might have to run for the board and clean house".
Feels sorta like a DJT moment where the crap is so bad, I might have to do it even though i wish i didn't have to.
Could not have said it better myself. Thank you very much.
Take your kid out of school. Be sure to tell them why. They get funding based on headcount. If enough parents take kids out the school will flounder.
Each state should have a student count day. In Michigan it is Oct 6th 2021. If you have already enrolled your student and decide to remove them and do home schooling, then the school will not get the state money if removed before the count day.
Personally I would advise pulling your kid out of school. When Trump is reinstated the mandates will be removed and life will return to normal.
My son as well. He is in college. I just ordered some masks from fakemaskusa for him.
I know I said pissed in my post but that sentiment is an understatement. My son had to go from 7-9 through this crap. You're talking a quarter/third of his life as this continues to extend.
Other than banding together with other parents/showing studies about the ineffectiveness of masks. I would love more resources that might be under the radar as successful methods against this.
Sorry to hear. We started hammering our principals, superintendent, state superintendent, Governor and senators with emails and went to the school board meetings, organize with other parents, and speak up. You have to get out and in their faces, articulate well, use facts, and demand your they do the right thing or else pull your kid. We pulled our kid a week before our Governor lifted the mandate. We have been homeschooling since. We are still fighting bc they are still entertaining the narrative so they can get the ESSR funds from the govt. In order for them to get money they will do whatever the government wants. Your kids are not safe in public school. Not only from covid BS but also from CRT/SEL/equity and inclusion all mean the same stuff and I guarantee your school is teaching them something along those lines, same as common core math. These federally funded programs are all introduced to dumb down our youth and make docile, happy slaves for the workforce if and when they graduate. Keep your kids as close as you can in this time, there may be many reasons you can't homeschool but if your child is important you will find a way.
Thanks for the well thought out reply. The above part about being active is something I am getting into as a start.
I am a bit upset because this is a private school, it's not funded by the government to my knowledge, but where the funding comes from is something I'd have to research. They probably still teach a similar style to public at the end of the day.
I am seriously considering homeschooling if this doesn't get fixed asap. Same reason I'm trying to push with my wife the thought of a midwife/home birth as we are expecting a second child early next year. The hospitals don't give a shit about our health and the schools don't care about our children.
Continue to seriously consider homeschooling. You have NO idea what is happening during the school day & they are pros at telling kids not to tell their parents. My kids are seniors in an online public school after I homeschooled them through elementary school. It's not ideal, but at our school I can attend their classes and all classes are recorded. ANY communication via email or text is copied to me as well. This was my only option as a single parent, but gives me some control & transparency so I can hopefully see it coming & intervene.
Oh wow, I had no idea it was private, that is even more maddening. The private schools by us are all conservative and don't mask or even entertain the narrative. Just keep applying pressure everywhere you can, ask tons of questions, and get other like minded parents along side of you.
As for homebirth, my best friend just had one and man she is a Rockstar. Such a great, stress free experience. Don't let fear get in the way of her making a decision. Dr.s just want to cut, both of my births they tried to force emergency C section but I said no as long as babies heart rate is good I am doing this the natural way. All the drugs and stuff mess with the natural process of labor. I'll pray for you both that you make the right decision for your family. Best of luck!
I am all for home birth and all the natural things, This last 18 years has done one thing and made me not trust anybody anymore. Nobody has our interests at heart. My wife is terrified of the pain, but I don't know how different the experiences are. I just want doctors that will treat her right. (not many to be found).
Search for midwives and Doulas in your neighborhood and talk to them, interview until you find one that you and your wife are comfortable with. I 100% agree with you.
Believe me, I get you. This mask nonsense is insane. I am not even sure my son will be able to finish school. He will not take the shot. As of right now it is not a problem. We will see what happens in the months to come.
You know they are going to make it almost impossible to get by without the shot. The more desperate they are to force the shot the more I don't trust them. Well okay, that is not true... I don't trust them at all shot or no shot.
The good news is I see a lot more people awake than 1-2 years ago. I really believe in the Great Awakening. I have 2 other people already joining the cause against this crap and I expect many other to join.
I agree. Think about what is was like when Obama was President. At the time I thought the country was completely lost. Nobody cared about truth anymore. We as a country have come a very long way since then.
Welp, first educate yourself on the English language… a mandate isn’t a law. So to help you out, mandate = word salad shit
Agreed, but guess what they will do since they treat mandates like laws. It's a hard battle, but we all need to be willing to fight it.
Precisely… wars aren’t won without fighting. Never bend the knee, ever
U need to find a based doctor in your area and ask for a mask exemption. Good luck!! 🙂
Just send your kids in without a mask and tell them under no circumstances to wear it, and if any staff threatens him tell him to write it down and y'all fight it
Maybe this will help. Let the school know. Masks are EUA and may NOT be mandated. It is a violation of Federal Law.

And FYI — PCR Tests are EUA and cannot be mandated either. Legal Notice (handout) here: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/notice-for-eua-tests.pdf

Thank you so much for the resources provided. I am seriously considering homeschool if it's not pulled.
I will be finding other parents/reps to fight this.
Thanks for contributing to the post.
And your follow-up question if they answer Yes? No? Why did YOU feel the need to ask that question? I think I know the answer but would like to see your reply in case my assumption is wrong.
Yes, we should all give our childrens' full names and DOB on the internet, that makes us smart!
