Parents gather in Raleigh to protest school mask mandates
Parents at the rally say mask wearing is doing more harm than good. One parent, whose children are in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, said her son had a fainting incident from wearing a mask during soccer tryouts.
Posted — UpdatedTracy Taylor, a Wake Schools parent, says the time for change is now.
"We're out here to let Mandy Cohen know, as well as Governor Cooper, that it's time to stop the mask mandate for our kids."
Another parent, Julia McLaughlin, agrees.
"If you want to wear a mask, it's a free country, but don't force it on my kids," she said."
"Yeah we have too many children that aren't vaccinated and lots of children can't be vaccinated yet," Roper said. "It's not approved for them, so yeah, our children are largely unprotected and that's why they need to wear masks."
Ultimately, parents at the rally want to have the option for students to wear masks in schools.
