Mom says school mask mandates led to ‘cruelty and discrimination’ against her daughter
"Every day, she would lose more friends," said Dowden, becoming emotional in the interview.
"I asked if she’d feel more comfortable just going along with it. Rosalyn’s answer was always an emphatic ‘no.’" "They took all of the precautions — checking kids’ temperatures, having them use hand sanitizer and making sure their masks were pulled up over their noses — but then there would be a positive case and"The masks did nothing," she added."Everyone knew it, but they still went along with the narrative."
"But there was no space — and no grace — extended to those of us who genuinely questioned things," Dowden continued."Like them, we truly felt we were doing what was best for our children. But we were categorized as selfish, unkind, negligent and possibly [even] capable of killing others."Rosalyn Dowden regularly came home from school with new stories of repercussions for not covering her face.
In her own classroom, Rosalyn’s third-grade teacher didn’t offer much support. She even seemed to avoid her as much as possible, Dowden said. She started the state’s first chapter of Moms for Liberty. It's a nonprofit national organization dedicated to"fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government," according to its website.
"And so I started the same old song and dance again with the doctors and the exemption documentation," Dowden said.
