'We Have To Be Heard': Alamo Heights Parents In Medical Field Speak Up About Mask Requirements

[TexasTowelie]

A growing number of parents in the Alamo Heights Independent School District who work in the medical field are calling on their school board to implement a mask mandate.

Several attended the board’s regularly scheduled meeting Thursday, Aug. 12; several more spoke during a specially called meeting Tuesday, Aug. 17.

Alamo Heights trustees voted to continue their mask optional policy Tuesday night, while “closely monitor(ing) campus case rates.” They’ve scheduled another emergency meeting to discuss COVID-19 safety protocols Saturday morning at 8.

Laura Lindner, a pediatrician and mother of five, said she got involved after she realized that individual districts were making different decisions about masks.

1. Not mask related, but vaccine related

I'm on Nextdoor (ugh), they're talking about SAISD employee mandatory vaccine..
Some chime in, "What about freedom?"

I respond with vaccines that were mandatory at my work. They had the "freedom" to fire me.
