Today’s blacklisted American: Private school threatened with shut down by Colorado

Rick, stating the truth in Casablanca
Still asleep, and tragically, too many refuse to wake up.

They’re coming for you next: A private Christian school in Loveland, Colorado, is planning to sue the local health department because it demanded their students wear masks or else the school would be shut down.

Parents at Resurrection Christian School in Loveland, Colorado, were told on Sept. 15 that all persons entering school buildings the next day must wear a mask, by order of the Larimer County Health Department, or their school would be closed. The order allowed for medical exemptions but made no distinction in regards to vaccination status or acquired immunity.

The same evening, school Superintendent Jerry Eshleman vowed in a video message to parents and staff to fight the health department’s edict in court. He urged parents to comply with the public health order for the time being, so that the students wouldn’t have their school year disrupted by a forced school closure while the case was being fought.

Based on the article, it appears that many parents are trying to get medical exemptions for their children, with some succeeding.

Regardless, forcing kids to put on masks is the height of stupidity. The data has unequivocally found that children are almost completely immune from COVID. Unless they are seriously ill from some other deadly disease, it does them no harm. They often get it and don’t even show symptoms. Moreover, the data strongly suggests they are not very contagious and do not pass it on to adults easily.

Masks themselves can be harmful if worn incorrectly, which I guarantee every single one of those kids at this school will be doing. Very quickly, as they get dirty and are handled repeatedly by the children they become pathogen bombs, carrying disease at the very place the kids breath. At the same time they restrict oxygen while forcing the children to inhale too much carbon dioxide.

That this health department is imposing this mandate merely proves that it is not interested in protecting these kids, but is instead gleefully finding an excuse to exert its bureaucratic power, just for the fun of it. You are going to do what we say, or we will destroy you! Very disgusting.

Moreover, it is using the CDC guidelines as its justification, though those guidelines do not rely on any real data and are based merely on the fear-driven feelings of corrupt CDC officials. According to the health department’s spokesperson Kori Wilford,

Wilford said that when it was determined that all grade levels at RCS met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s standard of “outbreak” status, it was time to act decisively and impose a mask mandate on the school. An outbreak is defined as five or more cases in a class or school. “We do not want to be the Big, Bad Wolf, but we have a duty under the Colorado Revised Statutes and Regulations to not let the outbreak continue,” she said.

That there is zero evidence that mask mandates worldwide have done anything to prevent outbreaks is irrelevant to the CDC or this health department. They must do something, and masks are a good “feel-good” gesture they can claim. Soon they will demand vaccines, then isolation, then imprisonment for any dissenters. Be prepared. Power corrupts, and they’ve got it.

I hope the school wins in court, but it is perfectly reasonable in today’s America to be pessimistic about this. The courts have repeatedly (though not consistently) shown that they are all-in with the rise of government power and its desire to oppress. The school will simply have to be lucky with the judges that get assigned to its case.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Another example of the current government overreach, which is more accurately described as tyranny. And it’s a disaster everywhere it is occurring in the world. Government isn’t giving an inch, in fact they are clamping down harder, where ever citizens are voicing their displeasure. A government that is unresponsive and doesn’t represent the people can’t last.

  • Melchelzidic

    Do not comply. Simply go about your business and ignore the mandates. Force them to come and take it.

  • Cotour

    As long as this is the policy of the government:

    https://www.breitbart.com/border/2021/09/30/exclusive-40k-haitian-migrants-in-mexico-bound-for-u-s/

    The mandates and threats by the Federal government through to local governments and through to private businesses, incentivizing the mass illegal crossing of our borders and these illegals have no requirement to be examined or to be vaccinated, or to wear masks this is all fraudulent and corrupt.

    The medical vaccine / mask argument aside, how stupid are the American people if they accept this irrational rational and argument from this now Leftist government?

    Citizens need to start eliminating physically Enemies in positions of Authority …. We are at War .. Wake up ! We are being invaded at the border …

    Ban away … Traitor ! Have to add email each time to comment ..what a [deleted] website .

    So , my freedom of speech depends on your approval …ha ..ha .. you are no different than Youtube .. I D I o T .

    Do not comply! Resist, fight! It will serve as a great example to the children on how to preserve the freedoms our forefathers fought for and won. And will give them a chance to win them again. Parents, home-school your kids while this atrocity is fought in the courts. You have the skills and the FAITH in God to be successful!

  • Cam: Since you are eager to have me ban you, I guess I should. I have not however. I have deleted your very slightly revised obscenity, which you clearly wanted everyone to read. I will ban you however if you can’t follow my two simple rules, both of which you have broken in two of your first three comments.

    Consider this a warning. You can express your opinions, but isn’t it preferable to do so like a civilized human being, rather than the barbarian you are attempting to imitate in these first comments? Your approach is certainly not going to convince anyone.

  • hondo

    Wow! The least affected group (documented) – healthy children.
    Besides the over-reach of power by government officials, add ignorance.

  • Citizens need to start eliminating physically Enemies in positions of Authority

    Taking that step is equivalent to turning the keys on an ICBM … once taken, there is no calling it back, and we are very likely to plunge the world into Dark Age 2.0 by doing so as totalitarians capitalize on the “distraction” of an American civil war.

    There are ways to oppose our wannabe overlords, that are more effective than “vote harder” and trust alleged conservatives to handle the problems for us from the Federal level, yet don’t turn the keys to launch a civil war. Let is discern and implement those ways, before we reach for the keys.

    You can start looking for those ways, in your school-board meetings and state capitals.

    Cam: ” We are at War .. Wake up !”

    We are engaged in political warfare, not war. There is a fine distinction to be made.

    The Constitution structures political warfare and that is exactly what we all see before our eyes playing out both locally and federally. What is the point of this structure?

    The purpose of this Constitutional structure is to force both political parties to further reveal themselves to the public, to the citizens of America. And in both parties being forced to reveal themselves to the public then they can better make adjustments to THEIR government. That is the idea anyway.

    Why is to Sooo messy? Because its about real and raw power, for all the marbles.

    You consider my perspective, Cam because all you are doing is promoting violence and chaos. And sometimes that may come to pass, but we are nowhere near that eventuality. So sit back and watch and observe the political players you find before you and judge them as you see appropriate.

    This is our system, this is our process.
