Katie Daviscourt reported from Washington state on Wednesday on the protests against mask mandates staged by students with Turning Point USA. The students said “we are done wearing masks” and they are tired of being kicked out of class for non-compliance.
The students tried to get into Washougal High School and were diverted back into the parking lot.
