Credit to TC Palm Article by Haddon Lockyer A judge in West Chester, Pennsylvania, ruled in favor of parents and removed five school board members over their enforcement of mask mandates. Judge William Mahon ordered the removal of members Sue Tiernan, Joyce Chester, Kate Shaw, Karen Herrmann, and Daryl Durnell. Chester, Shaw, Herrmann, and Durnell were all board directors, while Tiernan was the board president. The ruling came after all five board members ignored a petition drawn up by parents in the school district. The petition pointed out that the mandates went against the Constitution, and that they were harming the students and their educations. "[The board is causing] permanent and irreparable harm due to their fabricating, feigning or intentionally exaggerating or including a medical symptom or disease which results in a potentially harmful medical evaluation or treatment to the child and as such, the (school directors) are to be held accountable." Beth Ann Rosica, a mother in the district who has a PhD in Education, helped write the petition which was first filed in February. Talking to PA's Daily Local News after the filing, Rosica stated that parents in the district had been fighting the mandates "for a year." She also pointed out that, after a year and a half of unnecessary mask-wearing, the board's actions were "not acceptable." "The school districts are just not responding and not listening, so the only thing we have left to do is to recall the board members. We don't believe they have the legal authority to (mask the kids). Our kids have been masked in school for a year and a half. It's not acceptable. They are not their parents and they don't get to make these decisions for our children." Sevan Jilozian shared the news of the parents' court victory on their Twitter, along with pictures of the court documents. While many COVID-19 mandates are being lifted across the country, other organizations (especially school boards) have been hesitant to give up their emergency power over the mandates. Therefore, in those districts, the parents have continued to fight back. Have something to say about this article? Comment below!
