Anti-mask protestors picket in Norway

Anti-mask mandate protesters line up down the street outside of Norway-Vulcan Area Schools on Monday. The school board approved a mandate earlier this month that students in sixth grade and younger will be required to wear a face mask while attending classes. Under the policy, staff working with masked students also will wear a mask and students of all ages must have a mask on while riding district buses. The board passed the mask mandate despite a number of parents speaking against the move, arguing they should make that decision for their children. Several claimed at an earlier meeting they would pull students from school rather than have them resume wearing a mask, as reported by the Iron Mountain Daily News on Sept. 12.
