According to his father, officials from the Mountain View Whisman school district in California called police for a child who would not wear a face mask. The father, who gave his name as Shawn (and didn’t want his last name used) said of his son’s reaction:
He looked almost like a PTSD victim. He was very upset for two hours.
Watch:
Principal for @mvwschoolsPolice were called to the home of a 4-year-old boy for refusing to wear a mask.
While the officer was kind and compassionate, the boy could not remain. This week, the child missed most of school.

He recently entered transitional kindergarten in Mountain View, a San Francisco suburb. Here’s how events unfolded according to Shawn, who videotaped the events as they unfolded. Fox News
The confrontation occurred Thursday when Shawn took his son to school and recorded a video of the unmasked boy on campus. The footage shows Theuerkauf Elementary School Principal Michelle Williams trying to explain why the boy must be removed from campus…
“I want him here, but it is our district’s policy that students have to wear a mask,” she is heard saying. “He is a lovely child. We are here to support and serve him.”
After running by her, she is escorted away.
“I cannot keep spending time on this same issue… I’m going to have you removed from campus if you don’t leave at this time,” Williams says before an officer is called.
Soon after having spoken with the officer, the father and son left. The school board met later that day and voted to relax the mask mandate and move toward a “mask-optional” policy. They explained the reversal by noting that case numbers had lowered, but you can be sure they had this embarrassing national incident on their minds.
Jennifer Sey (ex-executive at Levi Strauss, mother of four) appeared Saturday Fox and Friends WeekendTo criticize the absurd misuse of force
I think it’s illustrative of the fact that we’ve put the most onerous restrictions on very small children all the way up to young adults since the very beginning We treat them as if they’re the most dangerous among us, when the fact is they’re least at risk from serious illness.
Sey famously walked away from her job as a senior executive at Levi’s in February. Although Sey was being considered for chief executive position at the company as a former champion gymnast, she quit her job in February after management forced her to cease tweeting about her disagreement with mask mandates. To explain her decision, she wrote a widely-read essay on Bari Weiss’ Substack called “Yesterday I Was Levi’s Brand President. To be Free, I Quit..”

Sey wasn’t done:
A four-year-old is learning to speak, learning to connect with his peers — and a mask impedes that. You can work at Google, and there’s no vax mandate anymore. And you don’t have to wear a mask [there]. But a four-year-old gets kicked out of preschool…
Host Will Cain asked Sey why there were mask mandates for schools still in effect some schools around the country after we’ve learned that they are not very effective and caused great emotional damage to children. Sey can’t wrap her head around it:
It’s completely baffling to me …
We just have treated children — we’re obsessed with children being the risk factor, the major risk factor. And I don’t understand it. Because they have the most to lose from these ongoing restrictions as well — developmentally, educationally, emotionally.
Some might note that the father in the video knew what he was doing when he brought his maskless child to school fully aware that the kid wouldn’t be allowed in. However, it is possible to argue that he did so because he was fighting madness as described in this thread about that school’s board and its policies.
Sey is currently working on a documentary that will examine the devastating effects of school closings and lockdowns for children. I for one, can’t wait to see it, because I believe that mask mandates, lockdowns, and all the other COVID madness imposed on us by health authorities severely damaged the nation’s children emotionally and educationally, and the true effects won’t be truly known for years. It is a clear example of the COVID madness that some are pursuing, as Jennifer Sey has continued to voice her concern.
