Schooling is not longer about educating kids, it’s about breaking them and making them compliant with government as king.
Don’t you questions the all-powerful and knowing government.
Florida 2nd grader Fiona Lashells has been suspended 38 times over her refusal to wear a facemask on-campus.
Now the school is telling her parents that she may flunk out.
In July, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order making face masks optional in schools. In local school districts like Fiona’s in Palm Beach County, mask mandates are still being enforced...
“You wear it for a long time and you breathe in all those germs,” Fiona said. “You set it down at lunch and put it back on your face and breathed that all in all day long.”
Now, every time Fiona refuses to wear a mask, she is suspended and sent home with a note explaining why. “I was really shocked by it,” said Bailey Lashell, Fiona’s mom. “I couldn’t believe it was all over not complying with the mask mandate.”
Fiona’s standoff with the school district may be over now that they are making masks optional for students.
“Amid falling COVID-19 cases and an unfavorable court decision, the school district last week made masks optional once more on its campuses, clearing the way for Fiona to return, for the first time in more than two months, to her classroom...
Fiona wore a mask to school all of last year, but she complained they made her tired, and she worried that breathing through one all day could be unsanitary. She said she was relieved when the school district announced this summer that masks would not be required when classes resumed in August.
And she was dismayed when COVID-19 cases spiked in July and August, and the school district reversed course.
Her mother, who had already promised she wouldn’t have to wear a mask to school again, said she was not going to let the schools make a liar of her. So when the mask mandate resumed Aug 23, Fiona went to school without one.
“We promised her she wouldn’t have to wear a mask,” Lashells said. “I think that’s what upset her so much. We had made that promise to her at the beginning of the year.”
Lashells is regularly accused of putting her daughter up to her anti-mask stance. But she insists the idea was always Fiona’s. “She’s been just so adamant that she wants to make sure everyone can go back to school and have a choice,” she said. “I just love the people thinking I’m the one doing it.””
Earlier this month, Fiona appeared with Governor Ron DeSanitis on Fox, where DeSantis said “to keep a child out of school for that long, that’s totally unacceptable.”
