This petition aims to gather support for voluntary masks on children in K-12 public and private schools in Tennessee. Focus is placed on:

• Negative social, academic, emotional and psychological effects
• Parents' rights over all health decisions of their child
• Moral damage from treating healthy children as sick and infectious
• Unforeseen medical risks of long-term mask use, daily duration, as well as during activities of intense physical exertion

This movement was started by concerned parents in Memphis, but our goal is to represent the entire state of Tennessee. Join this mission to help make our voices heard. We will take the collective voice to our elected officials including mayors, governors, legislators and beyond. Email ParentsRiseTN@gmail.com for more information.
