More than 100 people gathered at the Utah Capitol on Saturday to protest the state mask mandate ban. “I had never felt more scared to go to school than I had in the last few months,” said a high school student.

“The state mask mandate ban is not a policy that is aimed for the welfare of students and teachers,” said Noam Levinsky, a student at Park City High School. “It is a political move. If it was a policy for the welfare of students, it would acknowledge the fact that masks work to prevent [the spread of] COVID-19. If it was aimed at helping the welfare of students, it would respect schools that decide masks are best for their communities.

The organizers of the protest provided fill-in-the-blank signs to members of the crowd, allowing them to write who they were or what community they represented, followed by the words “for public health.” She and other teachers said they are dealing with unprecedented absenteeism rates and staff shortages in their schools.

Thank you for caring.🙏🙏

Lol

OR - how about we as a society stop coddling those with irrational fears? The Infection-Fataility-RATE (IFR) of C-19 causes NO FEAR in those who have the most basic grasp of math and statistics. Maybe our ultimate societal failure is: PUBLIC SCHOOL and Teacher's Unions.

Awwwws. Looks like the high schooler is in for an awaking in the real world. 😭 😂. Then stay home. PLEASE!!!!

I feel like the only time conservatives actually want to wear something over their faces, it’s a white hood

Who's been lying to this child

That high school student is a coward, stay at home and live in fear the rest of your life then, there's a 99% survival rate you baby.

Was it scary driving to the Capitol? Will you folks cut it out. It's almost like these folks are addicted to using their fear to control other people and the Tribune makes martyrs out of them. Stop pretending like you can live forever if you just play it safe enough.

Do they know they can still wear there masks?

Dang over 100

100 people 🤣😂 that’s cute. It shows that the majority of the people are against these failed policies and policies that even the CDC has said don’t work and are political theater.

Life is going to be hard and scary for that kid.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

His parent s have a trophy room full of green participation ribbons.

Patbagley The men of the so called Godly! They wear garments,go to temple and hardly miss Sunday church meetings,am pondering, whether political party has become more powerful than the LDS beliefs, because these GOP men are members of the LDS.

You can mandate tyranny, you can mandate freedom. But you can’t mandate common freaking sense. If masks and vaccines worked, they’d have a leg to stand on. They don’t. And continuing to pretend they were anything but a gesture is prolonging this nightmare.

“I’ve been so scared to go to school” But then nothing bad actually happened to you, despite your fears Keep going, kid, you’re almost there

Wonder if they would want government mandates if the scary orange man were in office. And if you truly trust that the government has your best interests in mind…you need to read a history book or two.

This is honestly ridiculous, as a current high school student don’t force masks on us that don’t want to wear one

I wish there was a VACCINE mandate. We would be past all this non sense if it wasn’t for the anti-science anti-vaxxers with their flat-earth mentality and individualistic selfishness

Nobody is stopping you from wearing a mask! If you want to wear a mask wear one! Just cause you want to wear a mask doesn’t mean it should be mandated for others to wear a mask!

With mask mandates, strict vaccine passports, vaccine mandates and 95+% masking compliance, Los Angeles County has reported more COVID cases in the past month than it did in all of 2020 How does anyone still think government mandates make any difference whatsoever?

They will be ignored Nothing will change There is an ideology that has taken root and will continue to grow and control

jk2ndacct

Great job! I would have been there if I could have.

Honest to God, I thought the anti vaxers might change their tune when children started being hospitalized and died. Clearly, they couldn't care less.

and thousands didn’t protest.

Group gathers outside Utah State Capitol, demonstrating in favor of public health measuresA group of demonstrators gathered outside the Utah State Capitol Saturday afternoon to make their voices heard in support of public health orders and mask mandates. I'm sure Governor Cox will take the mask mandate into consideration just like he took the zoning maps put forth by the independent committee into consideration right before he threw them in the trash. The mask mandate isn't coming back. They don't care what Utahns think. If you wear a mask outside it show you know nothing about science, and your opinion is not valid. Idiots!!
