Angry protests erupted in Franklin, Tennessee, after a school district reinstated a mask mandate for elementary school students, with some people yelling at and heckling those wearing masks in the parking lot at a meeting about the measure.
The Williamson County Board of Education approved the mandate Tuesday night in a special session. It will begin Thursday and run until at least Sept. 12, according to the district. People opposed to the mandate gathered outside the meeting, chanting, "We will not comply."
In one video, a man screamed at a person wearing a mask on the way to a car, saying, "We know who you are." The same man said later, "You'll never be allowed in public again."
Another man said, "You can leave freely, but we will find you."
Carol Birdsong, executive director of communications for the school district, said in a statement Wednesday that while parents are passionate about their children's education, "there's no excuse for incivility."

Masks are not going to help unless they are N95 or better and properly fitted.

SSgt Joseph Baptist - I wore masks in the Operating Room for 30 years. We used to laugh because there were no studies that demonstrated masks stopped infections. Rationals for continued use of masks included it protected surgeons and it maintained discipline in the OR.

Condoms are not 100% effective against lots of things, but IF you frequent a Russian whorehouse after the ships sail, would you wear one?
