In Knoxville, children as young as 7 have to walk through mobs of parents calling them sheep. At times, they obstruct entrances making it difficult to enter the school. They have blocked the car entrances at the high school. This all occurs in Farragut.
This is occurring at Farragut Intermediate, Middle, and High Schools. The school has tried to get them off school property but the sheriffs department isnt helping at all. The refuse to enforce any mandate. This isnt enforcing a mandate though. Its protecting children.
This mob is there to protest a mask mandate that was ordered by a federal judge. Many of them do not have kids in these schools. Yet, they are allowed to bully and intimidate children. Parents and staff have asked the school district for help in this matter but none is granted.
