Parent Attacks Teacher Over School Mask Mandate [View all]

An elementary school teacher is in the hospital after being attacked by a Sutter Creek, CA, parent over the school’s mask mandates. A district dad came back to campus after picking up his daughter and confronted the school principal. He was angry his daughter was forced to wear a mask inside.

When a 6th-grade teacher tried to intervene, the argument quickly turned physical. The 6th-grade teacher was left bleeding with bruises and cuts to his head and face.

Dr. Gibson sent a letter home yesterday to the entire district about the attack, expressing her disappointment … (saying) this likely won’t be the last on-campus incident over mask policies. “I anticipate more of this happening across the state, especially in rural areas where this is just such a division,” she said.

District leaders say they’re disappointed this is how the school year started.
