Said Walsh:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"27\">\n<p><em>You in the school board have decided that our kids should go to school all day every day wearing muzzles like rabid dogs. I have listened to your arguments and I\u2019ve noticed that they\u2019re missing a few things, namely evidence, data, science, common sense and basic human decency \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you think I\u2019m exaggerating, then how would you respond to a parent who forced his kid to wear a football helmet every day, all day, for fear of falling coconuts and meteors? Your kid is almost as likely to die of COVID as he is from a rock from the sky, and yet if you saw that, you would say to that parent that he is abusive, that he is forcing his kid to participate in this utterly insane charade in order to satisfy his delusional psychotic hypochondria \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You do it to make yourselves feel better and to protect yourselves politically. The child\u2019s mask is a symbolic security blanket for you, not them. It\u2019s a disgrace and you should all be ashamed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/matt-walsh-confronts-nashville-school-board-over-mask-mandate-school-board-kicks-out-unmasked-parents\">reported<\/a>, the parents who had packed the meeting room, largely to voice their opposition to the mask policy, cheered and applauded Walsh.<\/p>\n<p>Underwood, a resident of Nashville, also appeared to appreciate his comments, earning the ire of leftists like political consultant and LGBT activist Jeremy Hooper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just that Carrie Underwood liked an anti-mask tweet,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/goodasyou\/status\/1427719978443214849?s=20\">complained<\/a> Hooper. \u201cIt\u2019s that Carrie Underwood liked an anti-mask tweet from Matt Walsh, one of those most negligently histrionic voices on the topic of protecting kids from COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Author and progressive pastor John Pavlovitz also took a shot at the \u201cJesus Take the Wheel\u201d singer, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/johnpavlovitz\/status\/1427754643426267141?s=20\">saying<\/a>, \u201cCarrie Underwood being a God-over-Science person is the least surprising thing I\u2019ve heard today.

She should know better than to indirectly endorse the opinions of an extremist and scoundrel such as myself. Her lack of judgment is appalling. I demand that she renounce me and apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At least one of Underwood\u2019s fellow country singer\u2019s came to her defense. John Rich of the duo Big &amp; Rich linked to a news report about the dustup and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/johnrich\/status\/1427759036955512843?s=20\">said<\/a>, \u201cI say [Carrie Underwood] can like whatever tweet she wants to like. Who are \u2018they\u2019 to shout her down? Watch out, she\u2019s a tough Okie gal. You see what\u2019s going on here? It\u2019s \u2018freedom of speech unless you disagree with the mob.\u2019 #CarrieTakeTheWheel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
