Pupils who shared photos of packed corridor of maskless Georgia students suspended:

At least two high school students in Georgia have allegedly been suspended after sharing a video of school hallway crowded with largely maskless students, according to reports.

North Paulding High School in Dallas went viral after it reopened on Monday when two students shared photos of the school corridors with apparently no social distancing and barely any wearing masks.

Paulding County Schools Superintendent Brian Otott reportedly released a statement saying that the images were taken out of context, that masks were a personal choice for students and reopening was in line with Georgia Department of Education's health recommendations.

[...] "Students are in this hallway environment for just a brief period as they move to their next class. ... There is no question that the photo does not look good," Mr Otott said according to CNN.

"Wearing a mask is a personal choice, and there is no practical way to enforce a mandate to wear them."

Following the alleged suspension 15-year-old Hannah Watters who posted one of the photos and a video on Twitter told Buzzfeed News she received a five-day, out-of-school suspension for posting one photo and one video on Twitter.

    If that were really true you wouldn't be so eager to silence your critics. You silence your critics because you are insecure about your beliefs.

    No, you silence critics because they aren't contributing anything but confusion while trying to force their ideas to be afforded equal weight. If they were actually doing valid work, that would be different, but it's just antiscience bs, the same sort that antivaxers use and it causes problems.

      Criticism only causes problems because you know your viewpoint is absolute garbage.

      "trying to force their ideas to be afforded equal weight."

      So you acknowledge that you want to dishonestly force your ideas to have more weight instead of allowing both ideas to be fairly presented and allow the students to decide for themselves which idea makes the most sense and carry the most weight. Again, it's because you are insecure about your views.

      The problem is you want to force your indoctrination with MY taxpayer dollars.

      Like I said I rightly interpret this as you being insecure about your garbage beliefs.
