HAPPENING NOW: @TPUSA students across the state of Washington are protesting masks in schools. Students are getting kicked out of buildings and threatened with suspensions.
“We are done wearing masks.”
Brave students here at Washougal High School in Southwest WA!
The scene at Washougal High School where students are holding the line. They said that they won’t be returning to class until the mask mandate is lifted. They question why WA is one of the last state’s in the country to do away with this policy.
Maddy Oerding, @TPUSA chapter President at Washougal High School, explains that administrators threatened to suspend her.
“I’m hoping that this will make a big impact and for them to realize that us, as students, are done with this.”
I am now at Union High School in SW WA where a group of students are also protesting wearing masks. This student-led movement has grown statewide!
“When you speak up for your freedoms, you’re going to be heard. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the parking lot or inside the school.”
THE MOVEMENT CONTINUES!
Students at Hockinson High School in SW WA entered their school without masks. Administrators kicked them out. They are holding the line outside the school.

WOW! IT KEEPS ON GROWING!
Young students at Amboy Middle School in SW Washington have been out protesting the mask requirements since Monday. Students told me they march around the field from 7:30am to 3:00pm. They won’t return until it’s lifted.
“Freedom. Freedom. Freedom.”
BATTLEGROUND HIGH SCHOOL! Saying “NO” to the mandates.
