2nd-grader suspended 38 times over mask mandate could flunk out

[Initech]

A Florida second-grader has been suspended from school nearly 40 times after she refused to wear a mask in the classroom. Now her teachers told her parents that she has missed so much class she may flunk out of second grade.

Fiona Lashells, who just turned 8 years old, has been refusing to wear a mask in school for months. As a result, she’s been suspended 38 times. In July, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order making face masks optional in schools. But 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 to NewsNation. “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,” Fiona’s mom, Bailey Lashell said. “I couldn’t believe it was all over not complying with the mask mandate.”

11. Yeah take away their Facebook account!

That's what you get for listening to idiots like Candace Owens - a 2nd grader who could flunk out.

2. You don't have to wear the same mask the whole day, right?

Are they too stupid to provide some extra masks for their kid? Those parents could at least pretend to care a little both for the sake of safety and education of their child. When your kid gets sent home that often, of course there are consequences. It shouldn't come as a surprise after 38 times...

10. This girls parents are no doubt encouraging this garbage

I would think the school would've provided a spare mask if a child's regular mask is compromised in some way.

3. It's a shame to have to do it at such a tender age,

but the little girl, and her stupid mother, are going to have to learn about consequences. Nobody gets to make up her own rules in life. That's just the way it is.

5. Mom needs to educate herself and her daughter

If the daughter is breathing "in all those germs" they are coming FROM HER. By wearing the mask, she is protecting others from any of her germs and she is protecting herself from inhaling the germs from others. Why would the mother think it was okay for her daughter to miss 48 days if school?

9. Call child protective services as is done for kids to play hooky and ditch school.

This is no different.

13. Isn't that a catch-22?

School suspends kid and won’t allow them at school. Child services take kid for being at home instead of in school.
