Nazi salute, jeering directed at Fox Chapel, Pa, school board approving mask mandate [View all]

A meeting Monday evening in which the Fox Chapel Area School District approved a universal indoor mask mandate for its facilities became heated when some in attendance began jeering board members and one man raised his arm in a Nazi salute toward the board.

The incident occurred just after the board voted unanimously to approve the district’s health and safety plan ... “In essence, if the district requires masking, it drastically reduces that chance that students would need to quarantine due to being a close contact of an infected individual. This also drastically reduces the chance for educational and programmatic disruptions.”

Shannon Browell, of O’Hara. “You’ve decided to take it upon yourselves to tell us what is good or right for our children. That’s not your right.
God gave me my children — not you. You see,
God is who I chose to follow, not man.”

Nicole Trombley, of O’Hara, said she felt that wearing masks was more harmful to her children than COVID-19.
“This (COVID virus) is not something that’s a threat to my children,” Ms. Trombley said.
“We work on many other things like being healthy and kind and
eating our vegetables and staying away from processed foods.
I’m not afraid if my kids get sick.”
