EXCLUSIVE coming tomorrow at @RedState. 9-yr-old Kamdin Hernandez was 1st forced to do "independent study" ALONE on campus for peacefully refusing to wear a mask b/c doing so causes anxiety/panic+aggravates ADD. When being bullied by teachers and students he emailed his mom 🧵

At least one teacher was physically pulling the mask over his nose; he was asked by staff why he's so disrespectful- meaning simply by not wearing mask. Kids were yelling at him "just wear the mask." The school has now booted him off campus until he signs a behavioral contract.

They say their hands are tied by state policy; the school resource officer's attempting to help find a solution. Seriously, look how far away he is from the buildings. Terrible isolation; no learning! His parents have received a truancy warning. #unmaskourkids #letthembreathe

My story tomorrow will have a lot more detail, but if you feel like letting the board know you want this to stop immediately and a full investigation undertaken, their contact info is here simivalleyusd.org/boe
