I am a middle school teacher at a self declared "progressive" private school that prides itself on its woke worldview, and I am surrounding by covid hysterics who have normalized child abuse. For instance, at my school, children are forced to eat lunch outside in subfreezing temperatures, and, since there aren't any tables or chairs, they eat off of the cold (and sometimes wet) concrete. I ​am now in open rebellion against the outdoor lunch policy at my school, and I have garnered parental support. The students unanimously support our nascent rebellion, too. My administration, though, is not happy with me. They called me into the office to reprimand me for speaking with a particular parent against the barbaric outdoor lunch policy. But I didn't budge an inch: I told them I would not refrain from speaking out against their pathological practices. At this point, I am not concerned about the consequences of my defiance.

I write about my experience on my substack, which I will link here, in case anyone would like to read about one teachers battle against a hysterical and abusive private school administration.

It is heart wrenching to hear these nightmarish story’s about this kids and what their parents are doing to them.

I am part of a group of women & some men and we call our group ‘Warriors of The Radical Light’. (We lifted our name from a phrase that Dr. Christiane Northrop coined that we are all “The Warriors of the Radical Light”.)

On a regular basis we do acts of civil disobedience individually out in the community, and one of them is to call out parents who mask their children. One of our members is a former owner of a private preschool/ kinder school! She regularly tells parents who mask their children to “take these masks off those children”….”you are committing child abuse”. I have been with her when she says it and the parents flip out! One day I when I said to a mom of two young children in a Dollar Tree Store “to take these masks off your kids, they are in little to no danger of getting Covid or giving it to you or anyone else”, she just laughed at me. Then on a second pass as I was leaving the store, I said “that the psychological damage you are doing to your children by making them wear a mask everywhere, will come back to haunt you”! She turned & fled. (Oh and we live in Commiefornia where the majority of people wear masks inside & outside, even at the beach or recreating outdoors! And must school

districts across the state ‘mandate’ the wearing of them for all

school children!)

And the "fact checkers" are rushing round to declare mass formation psychosis as non-existent. If what people are doing to their--all our--children isn't clear and convincing evidence of a profound and severe psychotic state, I am at a loss to imagine what is.

in NJ Masks are still mandated in schools even though children are the least at risk for covid. the pols are using this as a talisman. Masks are mandated by "exec order of the gov murphy" when covid ends they will lift the exec orders and declare victor. They will claim credit. One pol the current mayor of Montclair Sean Spillier who was a science teacher in wayne NJ is actually the most vocal opponent for unmasking children. Mr Spiller also happens to be the president of the NJ chapter of the NJ educational association ( the teachers union). So a former high school science teacher wants to cont to sadistically punish children.

But truth is winning. Because of massive pressure on the NJ legislature, the exec order for school mask mandates will prob expire and the issue will then be in the hands of the respective local school boards. Senator Sweeney in NJ ( a dem despite himself) worked to defeat the bill to renew the masking order for children )

In my constant writing and talking and discussing this issue , the biggest impediment to stopping the mandatory masking of children in schools appears to the hapless, brainwashed psychotic parents. So even if the issue devolves back to the local school boards, the parents are so hopelessly insane than one of them said this to me in an email when I wrote a letter to a huge group explaining that masks dont work and kids are not at risk.

"I agree with you on some points, but if they mandated the vaccines then we wouldnt need masks, meanwhile masks provide some layer of protection... stay safe"

A few others emailed me to ask me not send them anymore emails.

And the rest... no answer... crickets or as ayn rand used to say : blank out.

Its a sadistic obedience ritual. A ritualistic sacrifice of innocent children on the alter of fear.

at least the masks wont directly kill these kids like the vaccines do.

The thing is my sons in high school and most of the friends and acquaintances KNOW the masks are ridiculous. My family has traveled extensively around the US during this time and we know that kids are not wearing masks in other places. We have been to indoor concerts and sporting events in PA, SD, FL and elsewhere. So most of the high schoolers at least know this is absurd and they are mocking and laughing at the teachers and administrators who are enforcing this. I have told my kids and their friends in no uncertain terms that their school is enforcing the masks b/c they are afraid . THe admins and teachers are cowards. I have confronted the principal the nurse and other teachers and told them that they are cowards, failures and are abusing children. The principal privately agreed with me. THe whole thing has completely undermined and discredited the schools ; not that they already werent complete failures , as the schools have devolved into little more than indoctrination centers. I say: no more state sponsored education of any kind. no more coercively taxpayer funded education. Separation of education and state.

I’m an American writing from Scotland. I’m horrified by what is happening to children back home. We have had mask mandates for high school kids here which has been awful to see. At least they are old enough to have some sense and independence - I see many of them walking around with no masks or at “half-mask”. But making little kids in elementary school wear them? How could parents let this happen? My son is about to turn 4 and he has been mask free from the start along with all his classmates and nursery staff. I’m so grateful.

Masks on kids are also being normalized via TV commercials--Target for example regularly shows adults without masks and kids WITH masks enjoying whatever crap they bought at Target. I've seen this on too many commercials to believe it's not deliberate. WTAF?? I mean it was bad enough seeing the "beautiful people" partying with no restrictions while the wait staff wears masks. But this thing about kids only masks...it's extremely disturbing.

And parents wonder why that small child grows up and slaughters others, kills themselves or kills their parents.

Absolutely. Masks serve no purpose except to slow brain function, cause bacterial infections, and signify slave status. Who wants to bet this new generation of force-masked kids have the worst teeth in history? Dentists have reported for a year what it does to their teeth. And long term, they can cause brain damage. Not looking good for the youth of today.
