The people who are members of right-wing fringe cliques like the Trump Zone, Fox Island, and Disnfowars seem to think that the law does not apply to them.
While everyone remembers what these individuals did at the Nation's Capitol on January 6, 2021, and earlier in 2020 when they tried to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, these far-right fanatics have risen the temperature across the country at local school board meetings on the topics of mask and vaccine mandates.
In places like Tennessee, Missouri, Arizona, Hawaii, and California, local medical specialists, educators, and elected officials have been berated, harassed, and in one instance, beaten for recommending or supporting COVID 19 mask or vaccine mandates.
Click on the video below to see some of the nation's vilest go after school board members in Tennessee last month after they passed a mask mandate for children.
These people were telling the departing board members that "they looked smug and they (the protestors) know who they (the board members are) and we will find you."
One would think, judging by these "individuals" reactions that the board had voted to make conditions in the school district unsafe rather than the exact opposite.
Last week, Diane Vargo, the principal at Mesquite Elementary in the Vail Unified District in Tucson was forced to call the police when a parent of a student and the people that accompanied them would not leave her office.
Why were they there?
They were upset that the parent's child was not allowed to go on a field trip because that student had been exposed to an individual that had tested positive for COVID 19.
In the world of reality that the non-Trump Zone citizens live in, this parent and his friends should be on their hands and knees thanking the principal for working to ensure the child's health and safety.
Instead, apparently, these people considered making a citizens arrest of the principal. One of the parent's friends had brought zip lock wrap ties to handcuff the principal. They even announced their intentions on social media.
When these people refused to leave Ms. Vargo's office, she left to call the police. They departed before they arrived. Since that incident, three of these individuals, including the parent of the student.
Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman, incensed at what occurred at Mesquite Elementary, posted on social media:

Superintendent Hoffman is right.
These school principals are doing everything in their power to keep children safe in the middle of a pandemic that has been exacerbated by some of the very same Know Nothing science-denying individuals that this parent and his friends apparently find common ground with.
It is good that these three individuals are facing legal consequences for their actions.
Hopefully, it will serve as a lesson to others to not threaten, harass, and attack innocent people for no justifiable reason at local schools or board meetings.
Hopefully.
Even Know Nothing-Science Denier's residents of the Trump Zone need to follow the law and respect the safety needs of others in schools
