Her voice cracked several times and her passion brought applause and cheers from some of the assembled guests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery month I come here and hear the same thing: social, emotional health. If you truly mean that, you would end the mask requirement tonight,\u201d Taylor began. \u201cThis is not March 2020 anymore. We have three vaccines. Every adult in the state of Georgia that wants that vaccine is eligible to get it right now and every one of us knows that young children are not affected by this virus. They\u2019re not and that\u2019s a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as the adults what have we done with that blessing? We\u2019ve shoved it to the side and we\u2019ve said, \u2018We don\u2019t care. You\u2019re still going to wear a mask on your face every day, 5- and 6-year-olds. You still can\u2019t play together on the playground like normal children, 7- and 8-year-olds. We don\u2019t care. We\u2019re still going to force you to carry a burden that was never yours to carry,\u2019\u201d she continued, her voice cracking with emotion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShame on us. My 6-year-old looks at me every month before I come here and says, \u2018Will you get to tell them tonight? Tell them I don\u2019t want to wear this anymore,\u2019\u201d Taylor said. \u201cAnd I say, \u2018Baby, its not time to fight that battle yet.\u2019 I try to explain that there are so many things. But it\u2019s April 15, 2021, and it\u2019s time. Take these masks off of my child,\u201d Taylor demanded, prompting applause from others in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor then called out any school board members that would cite guidance from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to justify continuing the mask mandate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I know what I\u2019m going to be met with: \u2018But Miss Taylor, the CDC.\u2019 We did not vote for people at the CDC. We did elect leaders who do create policy. We elected the five of you. We chose you to make difficult decisions for our children. We chose you to make decisions that would be in our children\u2019s best interest,\u201d Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForcing 5-, 6-, 7-, 8- and 9-year-old little children to cover their noses and their mouths, where they breathe, for seven hours a day every day for the last nine months for a virus that you know doesn\u2019t affect them, that is not in their best interest,\u201d she continued, as her voice began to break again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this has to stop. Defend our children. My 6-year-old can\u2019t come up here and say this. It has to stop. Take these off of our children,\u201d Taylor concluded.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.868852459016\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is Courtney Ann Taylor, a mother in Georgia.
