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 [email protected] for more information.

Children need to be free from all the hysteria this virus has forced on us. They are at a low risk for infection . Common sense needs to prevail .
Freedom to choose!! I pick what shirt I wear, what I have for breakfast, if I want to take vitamins and supplements or eat complete junk. It's the rights of Human Beings to be free to choose! I choose the choice to be able to choose which is why I sign this petition. Other may wear a mask if they want to. They have the right to choose
Wearing masks does permanent damage to developing brains and is immoral and unethical.
I want my choice back !! I don’t want my kids going to school in masks there mental health and physical health is at more risk wearing a mask !
Let me choose what is best for my kiddos! Masking all day is harming their emotional and academic health. Healthy children need not be treated as ill.
6 paragraphs down links "34" different scientific papers all stating how masks help reduce transmission. The number is now 55 scientific papers and counting. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/03/28/masks-all-coronavirus/
Masks are horrific, especially on children! So unhealthy emotionally and psychologically.

I have 4 children in school that are suffering the impacts of this awful mandate. Multiple children of mine get headaches from wearing all day. Please make this stop.
