We, the community of New Richmond School District, submit this petition for the lawful redress of grievances.

Whereas, New Richmond School board and district leadership, in submission to Governor Dewine and his tyrannical arm, the Clermont Health Department, has mandated all school children seeking in-person education to be masked throughout the school day for protection from Covid 19 (although this virus has a proven high recovery rate) without regard to personal liberty, religious belief, or health.

Therefore, we the people of New Richmond public school district formally request New Richmond School Board to refuse to be agents of the state of emergency farce, uphold our constitution, and refuse Governor Dewine’s heavy overreach into our community, our schools and our families by refusing to submit to the unlawful mask mandate.
