That\u2019s when the school board broke for recess, called 911, and directed authorities to arrest her, specifically.<\/p>\n<p>She was indeed cuffed, arrested, and charged with \u201ctrespassing\u201d \u2014 all of which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/woman-handcuffed-at-school-board-meeting-after-improperly-wearing-mask\">captured on video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Joy told Kelly she was targeted by the school board over her past activism and was meant to be made an example of to deter other parents from speaking out.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the trespassing charge against Joy was dismissed in the interest of \u201cjustice.\u201d The mother and her legal team soon after filed the federal lawsuit to help other parents across the nation hit with trespassing charges over supposed mask\/COVID violations, Joy explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cue style-scope ytd-transcript-body-renderer\" role=\"button\">\u201cWhen they called the recess, I got this sinking feeling that they were going to arrest, potentially, me,\u201d Joy recalled to Kelly. \u201cThis particular meeting was very different than previous meetings. The board had worked with an outside organization called \u2018Black In The Burbs,\u2019 which is a suburban version of BLM (Black Lives Matter) and they brought in about 25 activists \u2014 all with red shirts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"cue style-scope ytd-transcript-body-renderer\" role=\"button\">\u201cWhen I came into that meeting there were probably six or seven cameras on me from the second I walked into that room,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo, everyone sensed that something was very different about this meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">\u201cThe only time [my mask] came underneath my nose was when I took it down to put a piece of gum in my mouth,\u201d Joy said. \u201cAnd in that moment, that\u2019s when Mary White, who was a school board member, signaled to security and other members of the board that they wanted to go to recess. They then went to recess and I was told by the arresting officer that they called 911, requested specifically that Shannon Joy is arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joy recalled the experience as \u201cterrifying\u201d and \u201chumiliating\u201d and noted that in the aftermath, her husband was doxxed. But she also vowed that she was \u201cnot gonna back down,\u201d highlighting the federal suit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was one of the most uncomfortable situations that I have ever endured,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m glad that it happened because it exposed what these school boards are capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it was terrifying, humiliating \u2026 the conversations I had to have that evening with my kids and my husband, my neighbors \u2014 it\u2019s divided a lot of our neighborhood. It\u2019s a difficult battle \u2026 but I\u2019m not gonna back down. That\u2019s the thing: what they did was wrong, and this is why we are filing this federal lawsuit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following Joy\u2019s arrest, the mother of three similarly told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ny-woman-charged-after-improperly-wearing-mask-at-school-board-meeting-wins-in-court\">The Daily Wire<\/a> she felt she was targeted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is becoming blatantly apparent that the Fairport School Board, Superintendent Brett Provenzano and outside organization \u2018Black In The Burbs\u2019 collaborated to create meeting conditions designed to result in my arrest,\u201d Joy said. \u201cI have been an outspoken community organizer with a large media platform and am often critical of the board\u2019s policy &amp; practices regarding masking, coerced vaccination, Critical Race Theory &amp; Comprehensive Sex Education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese individuals are so frightened of transparency and organic, open discourse that they sought to silence, intimidate and publicly humiliate me to serve as a warning to any other parent who dares to speak up,\u201d she continued. \u201cInstead, they have inadvertently outraged our community even further.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response, President of the Fairport Central School District school board Peter Forsgren told The Daily Wire via email,&nbsp;\u201cThe district followed its established policy regarding the public comment period.&nbsp;Ms. Joy was not on the list for public comments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/woman-handcuffed-at-school-board-meeting-after-improperly-wearing-mask\">Woman Arrested At School Board Meeting After \u2018Improperly\u2019 Wearing&nbsp;Mask<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ny-woman-charged-after-improperly-wearing-mask-at-school-board-meeting-wins-in-court\">NY Woman Charged After \u2018Improperly\u2019 Wearing Mask At School Board Meeting Wins In&nbsp;Court<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fighting-back-dad-facing-jail-time-banned-from-kids-school-for-refusing-mask-outside-if-i-have-to-sue-i-will\">Exclusive: Dad Facing Jail Time, Banned From Kids\u2019 School For Refusing Mask Outside: If I Have To Sue, I&nbsp;Will<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/we-have-been-lied-to-megyn-kelly-slams-bureaucrats-like-prophet-dr-fauci-raking-in-the-cash\">\u2018We Have Been Lied To\u2019: Megyn Kelly Slams Bureaucrats Like \u2018Prophet\u2019 Dr. Fauci Raking In The&nbsp;Cash<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
