A group of parents fed with face masks walked their children to school.

They met in the parking lot outside Margaret Brent Elementary School, formed a line, and walked to the front of the school, where they met with the principal. Their goal was to admit their children to class without facemasks, a violation of a forced masking policy for anyone inside a county school building that's been in place since August.

We are going to walk here in just one moment. I want to make sure everybody's ready for that. We are walking. We are letting our principal talk to us. He's going to say what he's going to say." said Karla Alsop, the parent of a second grade student. "We're going to respond, and we're going to do so respectfully because we've all been put in this position unfairly, including him, and he's been very open and transparent, as have we. So we're going to respect this process."
