I can't even. So who will take responsibility should any of these kids get sick, or die? We know this isn't the end of it.

Mom Who Says Masks Are Child Abuse Throws Kid 250-Person Homecoming Party

In any other year, a glittering homecoming dance in McDonough, Georgia, wouldn’t be controversial.

But during the raging coronavirus pandemic, from which at least 257,072 Americans have died, Ola High School had no plans to host a mass gathering of singing and sweating teenagers. So parents in the town about 35 miles south of Atlanta did it themselves, with few precautions, on Nov. 14.

Photos on social media show students wearing bronzer and hoop earrings. Boys wore rented tuxedos and boutonnières to match their dates’ blue satin. Bright green homecoming court sashes sat draped across sequin dresses and giant crowns rested atop loose curls.

“It’s my daughter’s senior year, so I hosted a dance,” one parent, Beth Knight, told The Daily Beast over Facebook messenger. “It was terrific.”

“We sold over 300 tickets, but only about 250 kids actually showed up because they were warned by teachers and coaches that they should not attend because of the virus,” Knight added. “The kids who came had fun.”

A trawl of social media accounts linked to the event—with not a mask in sight—appeared to confirm that. It was just the latest in a laundry list of weddings, dances, religious gatherings, and concerts that appeared to flout public health guidance as pandemic fatigue set in across the country. Couples, parents, and church leaders have gathered in crowds together despite months of repeated messages from authorities about masks and hand-washing and distancing—and warnings about an impending, deadly holiday surge in COVID-19 cases.

1. Just wow.

“The kids who came had fun.”
Then they went home and infected their families.

holding huge, maskless, not social-distancing events like this.

Why are there so many stupid Americans?

trump's non-modeling of mask wearing and social distancing is of course the answer. The idiot would've been re-elected in a walk if the had just done such simple things in March. But of course he's an idiot and didn't and now 260k and counting are dead.

But at least he'll finally be out in Jan. with a loser "L" on his forehead.

13. But these are the people who won't allow the kids

to be vaccinated, and will indoctrinate them in their stupidity.

12. Guess we will

see how many will get Covid from that little party soon. Interesting they sold tickets. That’s strange I think.

14. the stupid ..it KILLS

15. Damn

I have a16 year old granddaughter who lives there!

16. I have been a peds nurse practitioner for almost...

...45 years, and have seen more incompetent parents than I’d care to count. As noted a few posts above, the parents who allowed their kids to attend are just irresponsible as the hostess.

If it were up to me, parenthood would be a licensed profession, with more than the ability to juxtapose genitalia as the primary qualification.

Now, before a anyone jumps all over me with accusations of Big Brother or whatever, this is just a fantasy. However, I challenge anyone to dispute that there are plenty of people who should just NOT be parents.
