[Anyone want to bet that we'll be seeing this kind of story being played out over and over again as the school year starts this year? People are fed up with the "mask cult" and a lot of them aren't going to take it anymore . . . SC]

The superintendent of a California school district said a parent “verbally assaulted a principal” and engaged in “a serious physical altercation” with a teacher over face coverings about an hour after the first day of school on Wednesday.

Amador County Unified School District Superintendent Torie F. Gibson informed parents of the alleged incident in a letter on Thursday, asking those who disagree with the rules to “Take a breath, pause, listen, and walk away if necessary” rather than scapegoating staff.

Gibson told a local television station “the teacher was bleeding” and “had some lacerations on his face, some bruising on his face and a pretty good knot on the back of his head. The teacher was treated at an emergency room for the injuries after attempting to protect the principal from the parent, Gibson said. Late Wednesday, the teacher was released from the hospital.

“Assaulting a staff member will never be tolerated on any school campus and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Gibson wrote. “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.”

Amador County is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, about 45 miles southeast of Sacramento.

According to the Amador Ledger Dispatch, the incident occurred at Sutter Creek Elementary School and “was allegedly the result of a parent being unhappy with their child wearing a mask when the parent picked them up from school.”

KCRA 3 reported that the parent is not allowed back on school property.

In an email to The Sacramento Bee, Gibson reportedly confirmed that the dispute “did stem from the masking mandate” issued by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), which requires students entering public K-12 campuses wear face coverings while inside buildings and classrooms.

Local police confirmed the disturbance was related to “COVID-19 procedures and facial maskings” . . .
