Laramie High School students walk out of class, protest mask mandate

[TexasTowelie]

Cheering back as a chorus of honking horns sounded support, about two dozen Laramie High School students protested Friday afternoon at the southwest corner of Boulder Drive and Grand Avenue.

Their gripe?

Mandatory mask wearing in school, same as many of their parents have expressed over the past couple of weeks to the Albany County School District 1 Board of Education.

Saying he was kicked out 20 minutes into his first-period math class that morning because he wouldn’t wear a face mask in compliance with school district policy was 15-year-old freshman Ryle Hamilton.

“It’s just wrong to make someone wear a mask, to make health decisions for them instead of letting them decide for themselves,” Hamilton said.

1. But it's a lot more "wrong" - and dangerous - to allow some kid to endanger the health of his school

His classmates, teachers and staff and their families!

2. Have fun in private school, Ryle.

Get a job at a construction site or an airport and see how long you last after you tell them you'll make your own decisions about which safety and security regulations you'll follow.

3. WHYoming

4. Utterly ridiculous.

"It's just wrong to make someone wear a mask, to make health decisions for them instead of letting them decide for themselves,” Hamilton said.

They can't see through their own hypocrisy. That's quite different from their viewpoint on abortion now, isn't it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Plus their premise is flawed. It's NOT personal health, its PUBLIC HEALTH. . . . nt

[SergeStorms]

6. They can't see...

past the ends of their own noses. Everything is about them, personally.

8. Rugged individualism?

Started with raygun.

9. I suspect that Hamilton won't be concerned about abortion

until he knocks a woman up and denies his responsibility.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Fucking dumbasses. They aren't protesting for freedom, they're protesting for selfishness

and assholery.

This is the equivalent to protesting because the gummint won't let you own slaves.

10. They must prove Reagan's lie

that government is the problem.

11. Life is a long series of relying on experts in many, many fields

Mechanics, cooks, employer, doctors, lawyers, CPAs, police, engineers. We can't all decide everything for themselves. These people are nitwits.

12. Two dozen. I bet that's a small percentage of the school, which is good news.

13. Said the murderous right wing whitie who thinks he's the only one with any rights.

These rw taliban-lite men think they get to make all decisions and women are part of the under class and can't do anything without their express permission. It's a violation of womens rights to require masks (according to their upside down views on everything) but not a violation to make them carry the baby of their rapist or worse incestuous rapist. They want to kill us so there's less of us and they think that makes them winners. They don't realize it's them that's dying, they are truly that willfully stupid.

I say - come on karma!
