MASKLESS ELEMENTARY STUDENT PUNISHED W/ IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION

This week we learned that it’s up to individual Schools & Principals on how they will deal with maskless students, NOT THE DOE! For all of you that were leaving comments last time saying that it’s not the School Principals fault, he is just doing his job... well it turns out that if a school Principal wants to ignore the fact that a student is not wearing a mask in class he can. We have examples of that going on this week and we also have examples of Principals that have taken it upon themselves To discipline maskless students. It depends on the personal choice and political leanings of that school administrator which is not consistent at all. 1. Governor Ige said during his end of the mask mandate proclamation that businesses could still enforce covid restrictions on their employees and customers if they wanted to. Yes the loophole of discrimination. 2. The DOH made the recommendation 3. The DOE sent out guidelines 4. HSTA also recommended the DOE continue to mask up the kids 5. Under the expectation that schools would require the students to be masked up indoors, ultimately it was up to individual Schools and Principals on how they would handle maskless students. 6. There is no across the board policy suggesting that maskless students be disciplined and receive a suspension for failing to come to class unmasked on the third day! Therefore, if a School Principal and teacher is cool and the students don’t care, there won’t be an issue. If the School Principal and teacher are Dems! Then good luck! Yes the DOE has once again set up their students and staff members up for disaster with inconsistent policies that could be checked by anyone or any lawsuit headed their way for discrimination and inconsistent discriminatory policies. The Schools Chapter 19 rules say nothing about the mask. Here we have a mother and her daughter sharing their experience with maskless discrimination at an East Oahu Elementary school after the mask mandate had been lifted for everyone else but the Keiki on March 25th. Props to them for putting themselves out there to inspire you folks to do the same. This is an opportune ripe moment for civil disobedience. Contact mom meems008@gmail.com
