California High School Caves After Students Organize Protest Against Mask Mandate

????????????@COVID19Up: Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills, California quickly dropped (https://www.kcra.com/article/students-protest-mask-mandate-el-dorado-hills-school-district/39101429) a mask mandate after hundreds of students walked out on Tuesday (Feb. 17).

Parents were told in a letter that the school would no longer enforce the mask mandate by punishing students who refused to comply.

"The enforcement of masking will be done by educating students and asking them to mask but no further actions of exclusion from class will be taken," reads (https://www.eduhsd.k12.ca.us/documents/February-15-2022-Significant-Change-in-Student-Masking-Enforcement.pdf) the letter. "Moving forward students will not be physically removed from the classroom or receive a discipline consequence to prevent further exclusionary learning loss."

"This was a homegrown thing between the parents and then the kids working together to get everyone on board," said parent, Jennifer Yoder. "It just kept growing and growing. And then they eventually just got up and left those classrooms and ran outside and started their protest."
