mandate

A teacher had to be hospitalized after he was attacked by a parent who was angry about a mask mandate at an elementary school in Amador County, California, on Wednesday, NBC reported.

The incident occurred when the parent, who was picking up his daughter from Sutter Creek Elementary School, saw her wearing a face covering, in line with the school district's COVID-19 policy.

The father proceeded to get into a heated argument with the school principal over the matter, in which he allegedly called the situation a "conspiracy" and claimed children "are being treated like animals," according to CNN.

A male teacher tried to step in during the argument to calm the father down, but a fight still ensued.

1. Lock him up.

It’s the new seditionist battle. They can’t overthrow the govt so they make war on the public that supports Democracy.

[krawhitham]

12. And sue him for every dime he has

[Jilly_in_VA]

28. Absolutely

Sue him for assault, battery, and mental distress. Also file an order of protection against him.

The school needs to file an order to have him kept off the property also.

20. I agree

2. Our prisons will need Covid Idiot wings just for them

[ZonkerHarris]

3. The parent is lucky the teachers weren't armed and stood their ground.

Be a shame to die in front of your kid because of a mask.

[Runningdawg]

5. THIS 100% maybe the punks won't be as lucky in the future.

A mask - pro or con - is NOT worth dying over.

[LiberatedUSA]

16. Are we now a party that supports the idea of arming teachers?

Cause I didn’t think we were.

[TheFarseer]

17. Nope

Just pointing out how the R’s are dead wrong on more than just masks.

[hadEnuf]

35. No, but people are not going to tolerate being assaulted and beaten for long.

And the assailants or not going to be able to dictate how the victims defend themselves.

[ZonkerHarris]

36. no but the GOP/anti-mask side does. So this is a "why they are wrong everywhere" comment

[Piasladic]

4. such an odd story

I saw an earlier post about this with the video. Dad was mad they were not wearing a mask.

23. He was mad at the apparent (to his simple mind) double standard, whereby his kid had to wear

a mask but he spied a couple of teachers not doing so -- they were vaxxed and away from the classroom, whereas all the kids are still unvaxxed at the moment, and the rules for unvaxxed therefore apply to all the kids.

IMO it is more consistent with the totality of his statements to say he was mad about his kid having to wear a mask than it is to say he was mad about teachers not wearing a mask.

[Piasladic]

24. Good point

I agree

[Hoyt]

6. Lock him up and take care of children.

[Diamond_Dog]

8. Why didn't the police arrest him

and charge him with assault? He put a man in the hospital, for God’s sake!

[Piasladic]

9. He should be charged - no excuse for assault

but it wasn't about having to wear a mask.

[Shrike47]

10. That's what I was wondering. Credible witnesses, obvious injuries but no arrest. Really?

[Fullduplexxx]

11. Maybe teachers should be armed

[Piasladic]

13. heck, no!

I already have to go to enough trainings

[krawhitham]

14. Sutter Creek Police officers did not arrest the student's father but said they are investigating

[TheRealNorth]

19. Wtf

I am getting sick of Republicans getting a free pass by the local police.

[dalton99a]

15. Still no charges

[RockRaven]

18. Simon and Garfunkel, Laurel and Hardy, Cheech and Chong, Tom and Jerry...

Cops and Reluctance-to-enforce-the-law-when-the-perp-is-a-MAGAt. Truly iconic duos.

The fucking school has done more than the cops to hold this asswipe to account so far. Pathetic.

[chowder66]

21. I hope the teacher will be okay but man, that poor kid. nt

[IcyPeas]

22. these people are rabid

seriously! there is something wrong with them. all over this:

?w=1155&h=1528

[niyad]

25. In addition to serious charges, I think that a home visit by CPS is in order.

[Jilly_in_VA]

29. Good idea n/t

[Grins]

26. " Sutter Creek Police officers did not arrest the student's father..."

Why the hell not???????

[ancianita]

30. Maybe the teacher didn't want to for the sake of his kid? Maybe the district would have to? idk

[FormerRepukeR]

27. Asshole

this is why I'm no longer a repuke.

[MustLoveBeagles]

31. Welcome to DU

Glad you've seen the light and yes, this parent is an asshole.

[FormerRepukeR]

33. Thank you

the president of all idiots was the final straw, but the anti-vaxxers and maskers made it an even easier decision.

[orangecrush]

32. Teachers union

Needs to demand an arrest and charges filed.

[TheRealNorth]

37. yup

Might be time for a strike if they are not going to guarantee their safety.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

34. Lock this idiot up
