Tennessee parents make threats after school board mandates masks
After a school board in Franklin, Tenn., voted Tuesday night to require masks at local elementary schools,
dozens of angry parents gathered outside the building and started chanting:
We will not comply!
Theres a place for you guys theres a bad place in hell, one anti-mask parent said.
Another parent approached a man sitting in his car, identified by WTVF as one of the health-care experts who testified at the school board meeting, and pointed at him.
We know who you are, the parent said. You can leave freely, but we will find you.
The rowdy scene capped a nearly four-hour Williamson County Board of Education meeting in which parents debated whether elementary students should be required to wear masks at school until Sept. 21. In Tennessee, covid-19 cases among children nearly doubled in July, and a surge of another illness respiratory syncytial virus has left childrens hospitals in the state with fewer beds to meet the covid surge, the Tennessean reported.
At one point during Tuesdays school board meeting, deputies escorted out a man who was being disruptive.
Dozens of parents followed him, chanting, No more masks!
