Parent assaults teacher over mask dispute at Amador County school, superintendent says
KCRA ^ | 8/13/2021 | Brittany Hope

SUTTER CREEK, Calif. — A Sutter Creek Elementary School teacher was allegedly assaulted by a parent during an argument over their child having to wear a mask.

The incident happened Wednesday on campus, about an hour after the first day of school came to a close in the Amador County town.

"The teacher was bleeding," Amador County Unified School District Superintendent Torie Gibson told KCRA 3. "He had some lacerations on his face, some bruising on his face, and a pretty good knot on the back of his head."

Gibson said the male parent verbally assaulted the school's principal when his daughter walked out of a school building wearing a mask. When a male teacher stepped in, the situation escalated and a physical altercation happened, resulting in injuries. The teacher was treated at the hospital and released Wednesday night.

According to Gibson, the parent was frustrated with the school's indoor mask requirement for everyone while students are on campus. The district's policy also says teachers who have proved they are fully vaccinated can take off their mask indoors when students are not present. The district's policy is in line with the indoor mask mandate by the state health department.

A letter Gibson sent to families said that "assaulting a staff member will never be tolerated on any school campus" and called for people to "take a breath, pause, listen and walk away if necessary."

"Remember, we are not the ones making the rules/mandates, we are the ones required to follow/enforce them if we want to keep our doors open and students at school five days a week," the letter said.

Gibson said she has received some angry emails since sending out the letter.

Parents who spoke with KCRA 3 Thursday on campus said they support the teacher who was assaulted and are upset a parent used violence on a school campus.

"When it bleeds out onto and into locations where our children are, that's not okay," one parent said.

The superintendent says the parent is not allowed on school property, but the student is. She says a police report was filed with Sutter Creek Police, and the district is working with the District Attorney's office.

"If it's appropriate to press charges, we will do that," Gibson said. "If they tell me it's not appropriate, I will trust them."

KCRA 3 is waiting to hear back from Sutter Creek PD for a copy of the police report.

This story is developing. Stay with KCRA 3 for updates.

The people should not fear the government. The government should fear the people.

Put me on the jury for stuff like this. I would not convict.

Most public schools these days are not worth attending. They politely denude their subjects of logic while filling them with the self-indulgent hell of nihilism.

Can you say that in a different way?
I’m not clear on what you mean.

Interesting choice of words. The parent "assaulted" the principal with words. The male teacher "stepped in" and the "situation escalated" and a physical altercation "happened".

Words are assaults, but not physical altercations I guess.

LMAO.

Deaf Smith is referencing the ebonics/gibberish from this epic video that went viral about ten years ago:

Maskerbating at school in front of parents is not a good idea.

Okay. Thanks for citing the reference.
I even tried reading it backwards.

"...we are not the ones making the rules/mandates, we are the ones required to follow/enforce them if we want to keep our doors open and students at school five days a week,"

That message is lost on some people who feel their own preferences override the expressed will of the people.

And they take it out on some poor teacher who's just enforcing the rules.

I suspect the perpetrator's a millennial who think's he's the center of the universe.

That's not really an accurate characterization of what's going on.

These governors, big-city mayors, and school districts are imposing this stupid COVID regulations under pressure from the teachers' unions.

That "poor teacher who's just enforcing the rules" argument has no merit anymore.

Sounds like the parent gave the teacher a quick, impersonal lecture about parental rights and the high cost of dental work.

>> The superintendent says the parent is not allowed on school property, but the student is.

When predators are attacking the children, the parent has every right to be there.

"I was only following order" failed as a defense at Nuremberg.

The lie...slipped in quietly.

Word choice. Propaganda.
