FRANKLIN — “The district is being flooded with mask exemption paperwork….” 😷

Nothing says “love thy neighbor” like refusing to take basic precautions to protect them and hiding behind Jesus to do it.

Many parents are filing for medical or religious reasons. "I talked to a fellow parent this morning who has a child with glasses, and he just talked about the fact that all day it’s fogging up his glasses so he can’t read the board, he can’t do his work," Creamer said.

According to the school district, last year there were around 1,500 exemptions out of 40,000 students.

There are also concerns about mask-wearing on school buses without air conditioning. "I have three on the bus every day every afternoon, and it’s hot right now,” Creamer said,” Putting a mask on a child while they sit on the school bus is almost inhumane."

Kyle is not anti-mask, but he doesn't want his children to wear them at school as most of their other activities don’t require them. "I think the exemption request, it’s part of a broken system, so if parents are taking advantage of that to make a stand, then I’m all for it," Creamer said.

1. They should also fill out the admission forms for the local hospital @ the same time

2. Only will take a few kids to spread the virus.

Time to homeschool your kid to keep them save.

3. The next time you see some of them on TV, they'll be on CNN doing their post-funeral video for

their kid, crying and telling people it's not a joke and to get vaccinated and wear a mask. I feel sorry for the kids affected by the dumbness of their parents.

4. The child's glasses are fogging up because it isn't on right or fitting right.

I wear glasses as well, you have to wear it right. If your glasses are fogging up, the virus is getting in.

5. Schools should segregate the masked from the unmasked

Back of the room, separate recesses, different lunch/ eating rooms.
All totally equal, but separate, acknowledging everyone's rights to associate with like minded individuals.

It is the conservative way. Sarcasm or something, but definitely no respect to the callous and crazed.
