Since the pandemic hit, parents have been fighting unconstitutional mask mandates plaguing our cities and school districts. Our leaders use selective science to muzzle our children, despite Governor Abbott’s lifting of the mask mandates in Texas. Parents are often marginalized when advocating on behalf of their children while school districts hide behind inconsistent recommendations from the CDC and the local Health and Human Services.
Rather than listening to the taxpayers and stakeholders who know what is best for their children, they doubled down on masks - literally, some wear two of them.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins established an ad-hoc committee to advise area school districts with little regard for parental input. These “health” experts imposed restrictions on our public school children they didn’t require for their own practices and hospital where they work.

Melinda addressed the social impact of masking children before they are fully developed. She reflected on the negative effects with her youngest child as a freshman entering high school. It made it difficult for her to make friends and advocate for her own education.
