The organizer of the group, Bob Crane, said that his wife, who is a speech and language pathologist for the district and works with special needs children, claims that the masks completely hinder their ability to learn especially being a dual language school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kusi.com\/parents-protest-school-masking-policy-and-proposed-school-drug-mandate-at-torrey-pines-elementary\/\">Parents also assembled outside Torrey Pines Elementary School<\/a> to protest for three reasons: mask policies, a proposed vaccine mandate, and the unjust treatment of a 3rd grader in class last week. The parents have been waiting for the school to remove their mask mandate as schools across the country have been but instead, there is a proposed vaccine mandate which has further upset them. Tensions boiled over last week when a 3rd grader with a diagnosed breathing problem was removed from class and forced to sit outside the principal\u2019s office for not wearing a mask even though he had a doctor&#8217;s note stating that he should not wear one. His father, Aaron Goulding, claimed that he was verbally harassed by the school\u2019s principal and they even threatened to call the police.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">February 28th marks the date on which the state will reassess COVID data but parents are not expecting any change in the mask mandates within the schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/news\/education\/story\/2022-02-22\/rancho-santa-fe-becomes-one-of-first-san-diego-school-districts-to-make-masks-optional-despite-state-mandate\">Eduardo Contreras\/ San Diego Union-Tribune<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Brock Johnson Early Tuesday morning, parents in San Marcos and Torrey Pines came out to public schools to protest the COVID mandates enforced by the schools.
