Wow.

1. Teaching their kids that forcing your way in is the way to go.

They are trying to kill this country.

[FoxNewsSucks]

2. Lock the damn doors,

leave them outside and everyone else proceed with school. When the MAGAt morons flunk out and have to repeat a grade, maybe they'll follow the rules.

[demmiblue]

5. Yeah, they opened a can of worms by backing down. n/t

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Yes. Should have put the school into lockdown. nt

[Solomon]

17. Why didn't they just close the damn doors?

Watching that really pisses me off.

[Hortensis]

27. They're responsible for the welfare of the children on school grounds.

Just locking them out was probably not an option.

I'm sure they're also extremely aware of the parallels between letting them in here and the events of January 6.

[blueinredohio]

3. The teachers should go outside the school if unmasked are inside.

They don't feel safe. If no ones there to teach these kids what's the point of no masks?

[csziggy]

4. So the deputy advising them is NOT wearing a mask

Great example he is. I want to see the stats in two weeks of how many in that school are down with Covid.

[Initech]

6. God these people suck.

[FoxNewsSucks]

7. The 2010-era teabaggers were the practice run

disrupting the town halls.

The Kochtopus evolved into the MAGAts and they've perfected their asshole behavior.

The right has an army of morons all over the country to mobilize whenever they want. We're truly fucked.

[Takket]

8. Principle should cancel school and send all the masked kids and staff home

[demmiblue]

9. Their plan:

(It appears that the protest was yesterday.)

And, no, you are not good people.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Most free country in the history of the world, and it is not enough for them.

They have to fight over masks during a pandemic.
Masks that will protect their children.

[StarryNite]

10. This is a nightmare.

[Crunchy Frog]

11. The mark of a failed state. Mob rule replacing rule of law. nt

[Irish_Dem]

16. I wonder if the US is becoming ungovernable.

[Crunchy Frog]

20. I believe it has been for some time, and will only become more so.

At least until the RW authoritarians consolidate their power.

I'm EXTREMELY pessimistic about our future.

[Irish_Dem]

23. Yes difficult to be optimistic at this point in time.

I keep thinking of Ben franklin's words: It is a republic, if we can keep it.

[IcyPeas]

13. those kids are the next generation of entitled little asshole bullies

[Vinca]

14. Wonder if mom or dad will do the "we were wrong" blubbering CNN video when Jr. dies.

[Crunchy Frog]

21. More likely that mom or dad will die. nt

[onethatcares]

24. there aren't going to be

enough jars on convenience store counters to cover the deaths.

I don't have a minuscule fuck left for their little jimmy or julies. They bought the farm fully knowing it was on a sinkhole.

[musette_sf]

15. Somehow these plague rats

don't get that there is nothing "kind" or "respectful" about SPREADING THE DAMN PLAGUE.

[Ms. Toad]

19. This is similar to how my university is enforcing the rule - with one difference.

Enforcement is by the student disciplinary code/employee disciplinary policy. All violaters are subject to discipline that increases with each violation - up to and including expulsion and/or termination.

The difference is that the first step is to remove the offender from the premises by a series of increasing demands. The final step in immediate removal is to call campus police to escort them from the premises.

Here, they just shuffled them into a place where they were all isolated together. They weren't allowed to attend classes - so the equivalent of in-school suspension. Even though this is standard policy for a public school (the first step is removal from the place where they are causing trouble pending a hearing) I disagree with that for public health reasons (in my estimation this it the equivalent of threatening someone with harm - which typically permits bypassing the hold until a hearing posture). But it isn't mob rule (as suggested below).

I'll be curious to see how this plays out as discipline is meted out.

[Efilroft Sul]

22. First infraction: Sent home and suspended. Second infraction: Expulsion.

Play hardball with these idiots.

[spanone]

25. Arrest them. NOW!

[roamer65]

26. Western Washtenaw County is Walberg's district.

Full of CoVIDiots.

Repuke Rep Tim Walberg is an asbolute traitorous scumbag.

Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Eastern Washtenaw Co is much more populated and extremely blue.

[FakeNoose]

28. I predict a lot of new Covid cases in Manchester MI in the next few weeks

The average age of the newly infected - 12 years old.
