Concerned parents who protested against a recent Arizona school board meeting have scored a monumental victory: the Vail Unified School District will not require children to wear suffocating facemasks in the coming school year, which kicks off in July.
“We appreciate they lifted the mask mandate, but only after what? A year and half of begging and pleading with them to not do this to our kids or to us or to the staff even? This is about the entire community,” parent Anastasia Tsatsakis told the media following a unanimous school board vote to strike down the mask mandate.
The public comments session during the school board meeting was overwhelmingly anti-mask, with not a single member of the community speaking on behalf of the dehumanizing slave muzzles.
The parents protested against the board’s mask mandate for children in the school system. The Face Freedom protesters then convened a vote to elect new school board members.
The protest took place inside an event at the Vail Unified School District school board Tuesday. That school board is keeping its mask mandate for children despite the fact that there is no longer a statewide order compelling them to do so.
The school board canceled their meeting that night. The protesters elected an alternate school board, which then dismissed the mask mandate. However, the media is claiming that the new school board is “unofficial.”
Pima County sheriff’s deputies descended on the scene but the parents would not be intimidated. One of the protesters pressed the officials on “open meeting law” after the school board chose not to hold the meeting.
