A giant crowd of anti-mask protesters sent a loud and clear message to a Tennessee school board on Tuesday as they gathered outside of a scheduled meeting in Williamson County holding signs and chanting “No more masks!”
The situation was caught on camera and uploaded by conservative radio host Clay Travis, who is the father of two elementary children in the area and argued against mask mandates at the board meeting.

Here is a clip of the speech Mr. Travis’ delivered to the school board before they put mask mandates in place only for elementary students.
Here’s my full statement against masks @WCSedu tonight. So impressed by all the parents who came out tonight to speak on the absurdity of masks in schools. Very impressive group. Speak out at your own school boards: pic.twitter.com/t5go0YJCxN

Travis also released the following statement on his Twitter account:
I’m going tonight to a school board meeting as a parent of two elementary school kids in @WCSedu to argue against a mask mandate being implemented in our schools. I’d encourage parents who are tired of covid madness to attend meetings all over the country & make your voices heard

There are over a thousand people here at the school board meeting. Only 250 can get in the building. They’ve never seen a crowd like this. Over 90% are opposed to masks in schools. The mom revolution is real.

GOP Senator Marsha Blackburn tweeted her support for “Clay and the dozens of Tennessee parents for standing up for common sense. No masks for kids!”
