This happened about 10 days ago. Pe Ell is in WA state.

Wearing a face covering was one of the caveats set by the state Department of Health for Washington schools last year to resume in-person learning amid the p******c. And for many, those health measures were a small price to pay for students and teachers to safely return to school after a year of remote learning.

But after months of being required to wear a mask in school, many students at Pe Ell School say they are fed up.

The idea to stage a walkout to protest the state’s mask mandate started small, with a couple of students talking about it amongst themselves during school on Tuesday. But the idea spread quickly, and at 1:35 p.m. that day, dozens of Pe Ell secondary students walked out to stand peacefully in front of the school.

“I wanted to participate because I think we shouldn’t have to wear masks if we don’t want to. It’s our right and someone needed to do something about it. We wanted to let people know that we don’t think it’s right,” said Taylor Briggs, a Pe Ell student who participated in the protest.

Kennedy Kephart, another student, said “I decided to participate because I’m s**k of being told I have to wear a mask. This is about freedom. I’m standing up for my rights.”

Students remained outside during their sixth and seventh period classes chanting “no mask,” while school staff monitored from inside the school.

“We did not try to disrupt the protests and made sure that all students were safe and on campus,” said the Pe Ell School in an official statement posted to Facebook Tuesday evening.

While some students claimed school staff locked the doors shortly after they went outside, administrators stated any students participating in the protest could re-enter at any time using the intercom door.

“Between classes, we invited kids back into school. Most decided to stay outside,” said the district, adding, “a school day absence of this sort is an unexcused absence and we do take attendance each class period.”

At about 3 p.m., students said an administrator came outside and “threatened” the basketball players by stating they wouldn’t be able to play on the team if they continued to participate in the protest.

“Some kids went back in because of that threat,” said one student. Most stayed outside until school was released at 3:30 p.m., and many returned to continue protesting Wednesday morning.

“Most of the parents had no idea that they planned this,” said DeAnna Smith, whose grandson participated in both days of the protest.

“These kids come from many different backgrounds, yet come together in the fact that they do have a First Amendment right to protest. Many are of v****g age this year, and more will be next year. This would be a great opportunity for civics lessons, for the school to challenge these young people to challenge (the) state government to listen to the future v**ers,” she said.

Photos and videos of the student protest that were posted to Facebook gained mixed messages from community members, with some applauding the students for taking action to evoke change and others expressing concern about how pushback against the mandates could negatively affect other students.

One parent told The Chronicle her kids were home from school on Tuesday due to possible C****-** symptoms, and while her whole family is fully v******ted, she expressed concerns about her children returning to school if some students aren’t wearing masks.

“They are set to come back to school, but how is this a safe environment? Because of selfishness my children will have to miss school?” she said, adding that she works in health care and has seen many of her community members in her rural clinic sick with C****-**. “I have taken care, v******ted, and swabbed people in my community and this is the thanks the health care workers get? This is ridiculous and crazy.”

Because C****-** spreads from person to person, primarily through respiratory droplets, masks and other face coverings reduce the chance of an infected person spreading the infection to others, according to the state Department of Health. That's a lie! Masks do NOT offer any protection from any communicable disease! Cloth masks are too porous to stop the spread of c****av***s.

While school districts are charged with enforcing the mask requirement and other C****-** safety mandates within its schools, the mandates themselves come from the state level.

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is legally required to enforce the state’s C****-** mandates, according to the Pe Ell School District.

The school district said it runs the risk of losing its state funding, which accounts for about 80% of its annual budget, if it doesn’t follow the mandate. There it is. Money is more important that the lives of the children!

“This mandate is not a local school board or district decision; we are required to follow this mandate,” said the school district.

Pe Ell School has made a request to OSPI and the state Department of Health “that mask wearing become optional, and our district is hoping that a decision will be made in favor of our request,” said the school district.

They don’t have to worry the scumbag demonrats are afraid of losing their endless supply of cash provided by staying in power! Masks and vax will disappear until they can c***t again! Once they get back in power, which they won’t if we stay vigilant , they will be worse! Marshall law, etc etc!

It's not just a matter of staying vigilant anymore. Those of us that can need to get active in the e******n process, especially the v**e counting - mostly in the major cities. That's where the e******n f***d is usually committed. And you can believe Demonrats are going to do their utmost to make sure Trump doesn't get re-elected. But right now, Pelosi is saying they only need 5 more seats to take back control of the House. That mustn't happen.

Money is important to keep schools open. If the school district loses 80% of its funding, the schools would be forced to close. How will school closings help students? Masks are uncomfortable, but they are not as harmful to students as missing school altogether.

Sorry, Dashy, you are 100% WRONG! First of all, cloth masks do NOT prevent you from catching the c****av***s. Secondly, and most importantly, when you wear a mask you are breathing in your own toxins.

Why Mask Wearing Is Dangerous To Your Health

Mask Wearing Facts

1. Reduces Oxygen to 60% known as Hypoxia

2. Increases risk of Carbon Dioxide Poisoning because you are re-breathing CO2 instead of Oxygen leading to Oxygen deprivation. People have died already from this because of mask wearing.

3. Itching from mask causes excessive face touching.

4. V***s and Bacteria linger on outside of the mask and remain there because of the suction of breathing.

5. You can spread the germs by touching the mask and then touching a surface.

6. Contaminants remain inside the fibers of the mask and get re-inhaled.

7. Hindrance to your breathing will cause your i****e s****m to be c*********d since fresh air is necessary for your existence.

8. The masks only filter out particles of .3 micron in size but the C****a V***s is .125 meaning the mask is totally useless. (Microns are 1/1,000,000 of a meter)

9. By wearing a mask, the exhaled v***ses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain. – Russell Blaylock, MD

10. No studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on t***smission of the C****-** v***s. – Russell Blaylock, MD

11. You risk Respiratory Alkalosis which can be deadly. Respiratory alkalosis is a medical condition in which increased respiration elevates the blood pH beyond the normal range with a concurrent reduction in arterial levels of carbon dioxide. In other words re-breathing your exhaled carbon dioxide.

Even Fox News is now reporting that masks help prevent C****-**.https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/masks-help-prevent-c****-**-yet-another-study-shows We have counted millions of deaths from C***d. Itching from masks is a minor inconvenience compared to death from C***d.

Fox News is lying. C***d vs c****av***s. What's the difference. The c****av***s is 99% curable. The same is NOT true of the C***d "v*****e"! Fox News has moved to the Left and letting go of their conservative reporters.

My caregiver and her whole family had the c****av***s for about a week. And, even though I was exposed to it, I didn't catch it. (The only thing she did that I would NEVER do is take the swab test.) They are all well now and have returned to their normal routines.

The facts remain the same.

Most over the counter masks will positively "Not" stop the aerosol from Chinese/F***i bio weapon.

It's amazing how adamant you are in your posts, but lack actual knowledge and facts in the subjects you debate.

Look elsewhere besides all of the cable shows you watch and believe in.

Do you have the faculties to do a "unbiased read" on something.?

You sometimes have to get honest information from a source with no dog in the fight.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

I have also read where breathing in cotton - such as the source masks are made from - causes "brown lung disease".

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

I've read the same.

I guess some people have a problem believing the government is working against us, not for us.

guzzimaestro

This has been going on for some time, now coming to light because of electronic and social media

DASHY

Can you direct me to a source "with no dog in the fight"?

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

Anything that isn't right or left. You can figure it out.

Ginny_Dandy Loc: Pacific Northwest

👍 That's true. It was the "secret society" that JFK referred to that kept everything hidden.
