Pennsylvania parents outraged after school employee tapes mask to child's face
Tyler O'Neil | 19 Jan 2022Parents in a Pennsylvania school district have expressed outrage after a photo of a school employee using tape to affix a mask to a child's face went viral online. The school district has confirmed that the photo is genuine.
"Pro-mask or anti-mask, I hope we can all agree that taping masks to children’s faces crosses the LINE," the Facebook group North Penn Stronger Together posted online Monday with the photo. "This was not a joke for the child or the parents."
The North Penn School District confirmed that the picture is genuine.
"An image taken in one of our classrooms last week and circulating on social media does not represent the universal values that the North Penn School District strives to instill in both our students and staff," the school district
admitted in a statement Wednesday. "After an immediate investigation, it was determined that while the incident was isolated and no malice was intended, the actions of the teacher were entirely inappropriate and unacceptable, no matter the context." . . .
