Hundreds of high school students in Oakdale, California, staged a protest in opposition of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D)’s mask mandate last week. Some students were sequestered inside a gym at one of the schools, according to footage that was posted to social media.
A video circulating on social media last week showed California high school students in a gym not wearing masks.
“Oakdale CA students throughout the district are refusing to wear masks. High schoolers have been sent to the gym and filled it with more unmasked students on their way,” read one tweet from an account that shared the video.
Another post claimed the maskless students were “barricaded” inside the gym, and that staff turned down the heat in an attempt to “freeze them out.”
“Getting reports that after hundreds protested against school mask mandates yesterday, today, @OakdaleJUSD barricaded any student not properly wearing a mask in the gym and refused to turn on the heat,” read a post by a Twitter account titled, Reopen California Schools.
“Police were called for a wellness check and police turned on the heat,” the tweet claimed. Police, however, said the temperatures inside the gym were not low, and that a school officer had responded to the situation, deeming it not a police matter, according to a report by Daily Mail.
A follow-up tweet said that “staff attempted to barricade the maskless high schoolers in the gym by putting tables in front of the exits. A staff member also was caught turning down the thermostat to ‘freeze them out.'”

Were they blocking the FIRE EXITS ?!?
Isn’t False Imprisonment a felony?
It appears the doors opened out so not necessarily “blocked”. A message to the kids to not come out the doors?
and a Child will lead them.

Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

And Oakdale is considered the cowboy capital of California.
Probably the doors between the school hallways and the gym, not the doors between the gym and at the outside. Still illegal if is it is considered one of the emergency exits.
Edit: They blocked emergency exits with folding tables. The doors swing out from the gym, have crash/panic bars and clearly marked with EXIT signs above. Highly illegal for obvious reasons.
Yes. They blocked emergency exits with folding tables. The doors swing out from the gym, have crash/panic bars and clearly marked with EXIT signs above. Highly illegal for obvious reasons.
Look at the ‘Reopen California Schools” embedded tweet in the article.
Perfect post.
“Sequestered” — well-chosen word. Usage: The January 6th protesters were sequestered in the DC Jail.
Forcible removal of students from classrooms violates California law.
Enforcement strategies involving the involuntary removal or disenrollment of children from their school infringe on children’s fundamental right to education and violate California law constraining the disciplinary powers of public school administrators.
California law is clear: “willfully def[ying] the valid authority of supervisors, teachers, administrators, school officials, or other school personnel ... shall not constitute grounds for a pupil enrolled in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, to be recommended for expulsion.” (Educ. Code, § 48900, subd. (k) [emphasis added].) This means children cannot be removed or disenrolled from school for peaceably refusing to wear a mask.2
Moreover, children in grades K–8 may not be suspended from school for their refusal to wear a mask. (Educ. Code, § 48900, subds. (k)(3)–(4).) Even in those instances where suspension may be a potential disciplinary measure, the school must first exhaust “other means of correction” before
imposing suspension as a last resort. (Educ. Code, § 48900.5, subd. (a).)3

Thanks,
This Madness Must END!
“And Oakdale is considered the cowboy capital of California.”
Well then this is FAKE NEWS, because the Left-Wing psychos we see in ‘education’ only exist in the cities, in urban areas, as people out in cowboy-land would NEVER allow the Left to control the schools they send their future cowboys too.
So don’t be fooled.
