In Knoxville, children as young as 7 have to walk through mobs of parents calling them "sheep."

I knew it was bad; I knew it wasn't my imagination.

Farragut, Tennessee is the area I just moved from, now living in Delaware County, PA. It was obvious there were residents who simply would not get with the Covid program--refusing vaccination, eschewing masks.

But this?

Taking your craziness to the schools, intimidating elementary school kids goes beyond the pale.

I'm glad to have left the state far behind but I do have sympathy for all Farragut residents and those throughout the state who do not stand with these whackos.

Btw, it's outrageous the sheriff's office refuses to intervene. Nothing like turning a safety issue into a political one, again. Hope people remember this on the next round of elections.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a good number of the protestors come from outside Farragut which is by-and-large an upper middle-class area, lots of well-educated professionals and successful business owners in the area. Farragut schools are considered top-notch; most residents are proud of that and the schools are a definite plus in real estate valuations.

So to have this type of assault on the schools is . . . surprising.

That being said, there are also a number of church-sponsored schools, born-again believers/supporters. Might be a mix of animosities that have come to a head, the mask mandate tipping the scale into fury.

But taking any of this out on kids?

Absolutely NO!
