Grandmother arrested after not wearing face mask at school board meeting: ‘You’re not enforcing laws’

News & Politics

Kate Bossi, a grandmother and Sunday school teacher from New Hampshire, was arrested on Thursday after refusing to wear a face mask at a school board meeting.

What happened?

Just moments after Bossi arrived at the Timberlane Regional School Board meeting to demand that children no longer be required to wear face masks in school, police arrested Bossi for refusing to wear a face mask.

Video of the incident shows police officers forcibly arrest Bossi after she entered an auditorium without wearing a mask.

“You are violating my rights right now. You are remiss,” Bossi said.

Another man shouted, “Come on Sgt. Porter, you know this is wrong what they’re doing to our kids,” according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.

Jackie Wydola, the daughter of Bossi, also told officers, “Are you seriously doing this you guys. This is law enforcement. You’re not enforcing laws, you’re enforcing policy. That doesn’t matter.”

The meeting was planned to be held in-person, but was ultimately held remotely. “I didn’t want to jeopardize the health of the staff and the students,” school board chairwoman Kimberly Farah told the Union Leader, referring to maskless people.

Bossi was charged with disorderly conduct, according to her daughter.

What did Bossi say?

The grandmother told the Union Leader police announced her arrest immediately as she attempted to enter the meeting.

“I kept walking into the theater, and he goes, ‘You’re arrested,'” Bossi told WBZ-TV. “And I said, ‘No, I’m taking my seat.'”

Bossi has several grandchildren who attend schools in the Timberlane Regional School District and has concerns over children being forced to wear face masks.

“When you say, ‘Just wear the mask’, you clearly have no understanding of early childhood development, and these are educators,” she explained.

Anything else?

It’s not exactly clear what prompted Bossi’s arrest other than her entering an area that required face masks. According to WBZ, Bossi believes that she may have been arrested illegally.

The New Hampshire Department of Public Health Services, meanwhile, only recommends students wear face masks inside schools. The agency does not require they wear them.

“NH DPHS continues to recommend schools and childcare agencies implement face mask use whenever possible (for students/children, visitors, volunteers, staff, etc.), including outdoors in group settings. Face masks are strongly recommended indoors, especially if students are seated within 6 feet of each other,” the state agency said in recently updated guidance. “Whether or not face masks are required in schools has always been left to local school district/board policy.”

  1. This is really getting out of hand. A face mask is worthless. It does nothing to protect anyone. All made up to control the population. Small people like those on school boards must show that they control their small segment of society. They are the ones that should be arrested for violating the constitution.

    1. I hope all these “police” enforcing these policies will get their turn when the Nuremberg 2.0 trials starts. If I remember correctly, following orders is not an excusable reason.

  2. This is not rocket science. If the law says you have to wear a mask, YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK! If you don’t agree with the law – ANY law – you can’t change it by breaking it! If you are passionate about it, work within the system to change it! Otherwise it’s vigilantism!

    1. Tom, you are a sheep. Grow a pair then get educated about this disease vs mask’wearing. The truth, not the Liberal version.

    2. Do your homework. It is not a law. It’s a recommendation only. Schools do not set laws. She has a lawsuit in the makings.

    3. You obviously didn’t pay to much attention in high school civics class, now did you! Maybe the day you were out jacking off, the teacher taught the students about the authority, scope and applicability of law, with regard to the states and the federal government. Or what about the lesson on jurisdiction? Did you miss that one two? And how about the one on how bills become law (what is the procedures)? Where we’re you at on all of these lessons?

    4. You are a moron! It was not a law, it was a recommendation, that has no basis in science.

  3. Yep the cops are so brave they will go after nonsensical crap and let the criminals keep committing crimes. Time to go after prosecutors.

  4. this is BULLSHIT from a bunch of little NAZIS that want to be big NAZIS. it took two big he men to ARREST a white grandmother and school teacher. they wouldn’t of dared ARREST her if she had been BLACK and they know why.

  5. They are following their version of “science,” a new “magical” science where the mask is a new talisman that will magically prevent the wearer from coming in contact with SARS-CoV2 in spite of the fact that the pores in the mask are dozens of times (surgical mask) to thousands of times (typical cloth mask) larger than the SARS-CoV2 virus.

  6. Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis

    US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health

    Abstract
    Many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical facemasks as non-pharmaceutical intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. Is has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. The current article comprehensively summarizes scientific evidences with respect to wearing facemasks in the COVID-19 era, providing prosper information for public health and decisions making.

    Conclusion
    The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks.

    You now know the truth!

  7. Stanford University quietly published a study that found that paper masks don’t help at all to prevent transmission of the coronavirus.

    And leftist outlets such as Twitter are working hard to hide the study from the American people. The study was posted on the the National Center for Biological Information government website.
