A mother from Virginia in the US has been detained by authorities after telling the school board she would come with a “loaded gun” if teachers asked her children to wear masks in the classroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Amelia King, 42, was charged by Luray police with verbal threats inside the school premises, when the leaders had gathered in a meeting, writes the network CNN.<\/a><\/p>\n “All right, there are no mandatory masks,” King told teachers in the meeting room. “My children will not come to school in masks. “If that happens, I will come with all the rifles ready.”<\/p>\n King was released on $ 5,000 bail.<\/p>\n In an email apologizing to school board members she said she was speaking figuratively.<\/p>\n “I did not want to say ‘with all rifles loaded’, not for firearms, figuratively I meant with all my resources that my children do not wear masks when they are at school,” the email said.<\/p>\n The school board were in fact discussing the implementation of COVID-19 measures following Governor’s order Glenn Youngkin who said parents can decide whether or not their children wear masks at school.<\/p>\n Consequently, the school board voted 4-2 in favor of “putting on the mask at the parent’s request.”<\/p>\n But masks are required for children on the school bus.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n top channel
