Last week footage went viral of a school in Oregon where kids were forced to isolate outside, on buckets, in 40-degree weather in order to eat their lunch.
This video shocked a lot of people and woke them up to how we are treating our children during this pandemic.
Justin Spiro, a school social worker, and advocate for loosening restrictions on children during Covid asked Twitter to tell the stories of the rules, restrictions, and punishments that students are facing in the name of fighting Covid.
The replies to this are insane and heartbreaking all at once. Here are a few highlights, or lowlights, from parents.

Kicking 4-year-old kids out of in-person school for their mask slipping off?

Healthy kids kept out of school for "contact-tracing" purposes? Seriously?

The mask policing is out of control. What science can they even cite to support masking children for Covid? Where else in the world is this happening?
These next few are heartbreaking. Imagine having a kid with some sort of disability and being forced to abide by these insane policies!

Our favorite right-wing anarchist, Michael Malice, hit the nail on the head regarding this issue years ago, even before these types of Covid policies illustrated how right he was.
