Tennessee teen talking about grandma who died of COVID-19 heckled by adults at school board meeting

Knox told the board that he was worried about being infected at school and bringing the coronavirus home to his grandparents.“They’re higher risk than me, so I don’t want to give them Covid,” Knox said. “This time last year, my grandmother, who was a former teacher at the Rutherford County school system died of Covid because someone wasn't wearing a mask.”

He added that he hopes those who view the video understand that the people of Rutherford County are not defined by the adults who heckled him.WSMV

So sorry about your grandmother. My mother died of Covid to. I think everyone should wear a mask and get vaccinated. Common sense is a key to all things.

Those “adults “ are horrible 🤬

Too bad there isn’t a test before becoming a parent. Pass or fail! Seen way too many “fails” lately. Very sad

Are you kidding me? What rude adults.

No vaccine-stay home!

When are we going to stop allowing ignorance to have a seat at the table?!?!? These people take stances on the craziest issues and don’t care who it hurts.

That kind of person has no soul! 😡😡😡😡

Shame shame!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

The teen was behaving in a more adult manner than the actual adults in the room!

We are hitting the tipping point of ignorance and hate.

TheEllenShow get this young man on your show and let him know we are with him! Such horrible people out there laughing at his loss.

yay

Sad & outrageous

I don’t like when hecklers of the anti-vaxxers mocking that teen. This is unacceptable and they need to show some respect

What is wrong with these people

We're a horrible race!!

If you laugh at a kid standing up at a school board meeting talking about the death of his grandmother due to COVID likely contracted from an unmasked infected individual.... Yes, it's ironically funny that you don't need a mask, you instead need a muzzle!

Incredibly sad. What has happened to our society? Where is the compassion and empathy?

I'm gonna laugh when the Woman in the video, and the man that yelled 'shut up' both get covid for not wearing masks.

As adults we are supposed to be setting a good example for our kid's. This wasn't a good example. Grady Knox you were more of an Adult than the Adults in the room. Thank you for speaking up at your school. So sorry for the loss of your grandmother ❤️

Karma has their addresses in her Rolodex... 🤔

This is an employee at cigna named Erika Casher.. Cigna isn't the company we thought they were with their hiring practices.

This is so cruel & horrible. The worst of humanity

masks don't work. Haven't we proven this already? However they should not have told him to shut up. Using Grandma (RIP) to punt health mandates because I'm scared...not a good route. If there was actual science? (the masks themselves say they don't do the job)

The GOP Christian Taliban aren't good people and we are surrounded by them.

Tennessee teen talking about grandma who died of Covid heckled by adults at school board meetingGrady Knox was telling a personal story about his grandmother's death to argue for mask mandates when adults in the crowd told him to 'shut up' and laughed. To be anti vax is one thing, To be anti mask is another. But laugh at a kid, That is just going to far. Even I say some messed up things, But not to a kid talking about his G-Unit. That's messed up! What are the COVID protocols for tonight’s Cowboys vs Buccaneers game? No rules in Tampa Bay! Trust that person sitting next to you! Honor system! NBC approved! NFL approved! $$$$ all that matters! The people behaving this way are just finally showing their true ugly colors. This is where we are in this country. No boundaries and no remorse. Sadly many of them claim to be Christians. This is not the way of Christ.

Los Angeles School District Will Require Eligible Students Get Vaccinated Against Covid-19The nation’s second largest school district will require all eligible students to show vaccination proof by January 10. Sadly some students come from homes where parents are not vaccinated. With Delta, students need more than a face mask and social distancing… they need all to be vaccinated to stop mass infection. Think Small Pox and Polio. This is wrong. Wrong on so many levels.
