The group also called out top administrators who were recently photographed not wearing masks while at gatherings earlier this month.
The protest happened outside of Baldwin Elementary School. It started as the school day was getting underway. A small group of parents held signs calling on. Yet, Austin ISD continues to force our kids to wear masks for eight hours a day," said Melanie Zoerner.Students, staff and visitors are now only recommended to wear a mask when on many of their campuses. Some parents are wondering if this is in the right direction.
Melanie Zoerner told FOX 7 Austin she got involved after seeing what she considers to be a double standard. Pictures of several Austin ISD administrators, including the superintendent, were recently posted on social media. They were taken during a conference and the images show no one was wearing a mask or practicing social distancing.
"To see them flaunting their maskless meetings on social media. That's what lit the fire under us. Seeing those pictures of them at that conference in Dallas two weeks ago. That's what lit the fire under us. That's hypocrisy right there. And that is not fair. Parents are not going to stand for it anymore. That's why we're speaking out now," said Zoerner."This conference was not on school grounds.
