A father protesting the mask mandate at his daughter’s high school was arrested after allegedly physically assaulting a student.
50-year-old Dan Bauman is the parent of a 15-year-old girl who attends Fort Lauderdale High School.
Because of the high number of COVID-19 cases in the area, the school chose to implement a mask mandate for all of the students and staff on the campus.
When a woman at a school board meeting regarding school children wearing face coverings reportedly would not wear a face mask after being told that she must, she allegedly caused a ruckus leading to her arrest.
On November 10, the Pinellas County School Board held a meeting in Largo to discuss the wearing of face masks in all school buildings to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
Many parents on both sides of the issue were in attendance waiting to express their concerns.
