Video shows angry protests erupt in Franklin, Tennessee, after a school district reinstated a mask mandate for elementary students, with some people yelling at and heckling those wearing masks in the parking lot at a meeting on the measure.

recommended that all children wear masks when they return to school this year.

Some parents, arguing that there is no legal authority for the district to implement masks, said it was a"parents' rights" issue and threatened to sue. "Anyway, the real part of the clown show is that you all think that you actually have the authority to mandate this," Baker said."Because there are these books that I have, and I have them as a gift for you: the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers. Also, the Bible. And these guarantee my freedom and yours and our children's to breathe oxygen.

Britt Maxwell, who identified himself as a doctor at a local hospital, said he was fearful for his two children, who are too young to be vaccinated.

The protesters yelled with dueling banjos playing in the background.

Neanderthals the whole fecking lot.

Pure madness, anti maskers, and antivaxxers should all be arrested for child endangerment. Many innocent kids are, at risk of being lost to parental ignorance.

Threatening people isn't 'protesting'. 'We will find you' is a terroristic threat. Neither is protected under the law, nor should they be coming out of the mouths of folks who are responsible for raising children into mature, responsible adults.

Such hardship living in Franklin TN. Pathetic behavior from these parents.

Good grief. Tennessee… where abortion should be encouraged.

Great insight of future insurrectionists from Tennessee

Disgraceful

Amazing how many folks out there do not follow/listen to/believe in science and facts! Too many people putting the rest of us at risk because of their ignorance.

Hope the victims file restraining orders and the threatening people have their guns taken. 'Take the guns first, due process second.' - Donald Trump

Horrible horrible people

These are the rich, white, entitled. Just goes to show, all that doesn’t make you smart.

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOESIt doesn’t surprise me ,it’s Tennessee

You are allowed to protest but threatening people with no recourse is setting us up for future violence. A lot of emotion over simple masks and protecting our kids and teachers.

It's not too late,you have the damn video,those guys should be arrested.

The things White People get away with,Blacks behaving in this manner would have been hogtied ,pepper sprayed,beaten and possible murdered by those very cops.

Oy, here for the nature, not the neighbors.

Hehe these videos are always hilarious… god god god

Seriously, not sarcastically, like what's the big deal? Anti-maskers, please clarify.

I must admit I do not understand why this is happening. I know there now appears to be hatred between D's and R's when it used to be just normal political divisions. But, threatening people who are only trying to keep children safe, well that shows this country may be doomed

We as a country are screwed! How horrible!!!

Then the protestors should home school their kids, problem solved🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

This is the GOP and their messaging in 2021; unbelievable

How could these parents be stupid? Covid is surging and those affected lately are the youth. Don't regret or ask for vaccine when you're child is in the hospital.

I really wish natural selection would hurry up.

What happened with their choice, whether to wear a mask, or not wear a mask?

This is embarrassing. Is this what we are teaching our children? It’s a piece of cloth, deal with it, your kids will adapt. Affluent people in the richest county in Tenn, acting like they are above the rules. This sickens me.

So threats against life and limb have no consequences in Tennessee

Is it still a choice if your decision potentially hurts other people?

This is what happens when the rich town south of Nashville has to deal with a minor inconvenience during a pandemic. Apparently, all of these people have “found Jesus,” and Jesus says no to masks and to threaten other people that you know where they live.

Covid will find your kids…

Choas also pursue in everything

Maybe DCF needs to come & remove their children from the home. I just can't understand for the life of me how these brain dead parents are so willing to put their kids in danger and not protect them. Such awful, disgusting, shameful, scary behavior.

ORNurseHynda LevittAmy I’m glad we got the HellOutOfDodge ✌🏻🕶🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️

Are these protesters so ignorant that they don’t understand that a mask is a minimum protection for their children in catching the virus or passing it onto others? Or are they okay with people getting sick and dying as long as their so called rights are not infringed

GOP politicians have pushed this dangerous narrative that wearing a mask is political and an attack on a person’s individual freedom. We’re in a pandemic! Wearing a mask is not that big of a deal!

'Give me liberty and give my neighbors death' seems to be the appropriate anti-vaxx slogan.

Dont worry tough man, we'll soon know who YOU are.

Covid is here 4 life, taking over NWO style.

Ron DeSantis has threatened to stop paying superintendents and school board members who reject his executive order banning mask mandates and instead require masks in schools this fall.

Its and individual's choice.. It should be the parents choice. If you're worried about covid, protect yourself. Stay home.. Don't violate my rights. Piss on mask mask and Vax mandates.
