Earlier this month, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed an executive order allowing parents to opt their kid out of a school's mask mandate.

WSMV-TV in Nashville reported that Rutherford County Schools Communications Director James Evans said that shutting down the schools next week,"will allow several staff members who are on quarantine to clear those quarantines and return to operate the classrooms."

CDC data also shows that less than 50 percent of Tennessee's population are considered fully vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.

Rights&freedom mean nothing if someone needlessly dies of COVID! And, how is it a infringement of a person's right to choose if mandated to wear a mask & get vaccinated to protect children under 12 & others? Are they advocating for rights without responsibilities? That's chaos!

Get vaccinated, wear a mask, social distance and go about your business safely. Why? Because there's just no getting around it. It's up to all of us to choose to come together to stop the spread to end the pandemic. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, period!

STOP PROLONGING THE 'WORLDWIDE' PANDEMIC! 1) Wear a mask for the foreseeable future or until we're all safely out of the woods. 2) Get vaccinated; it's better to be safe than sorry. 3) It's far from being over but, when it's finally over you'll know. 4) Stay safe.

So things are going well?
