We’ve heard this expression a thousand times:
“Children are the future.”
Sometimes that thought can be a little scary, due to the fact that schools have been indoctrinating children for a long time.
If a group of students from a Washington High School have there way, the future may still be bright.
A video has gone viral from Washougal High School, in which a student led several of his classmates in a maskless protest into the school.
The student addressed his peers before entering the school, asking them to remain respectful to teachers while protesting:
“This is not an excuse for any of you freshmen and sophomores to disrespect your teachers. If I hear of anybody disrespecting teachers or staff tomorrow, that makes us look bad. We want this to be a peaceful, respectful movement; we are just trying to gain back our rights as citizens.”
He continued:
“The teachers, in the end, are just doing their jobs. It doesn’t come from them; it comes from the state.”
A follow up video showed students entering the school while respectfully declining to wear masks.

Our friends at the Daily Wire shared this uplifting story of bravery among our youth:
This week, a viral video was triggered when a student at Washougal High School in Washougal, Washington, spoke before students to instruct them how they would go maskless in school to protest against mask rules, saying, “What we’re hoping is that they kick us out … because they have to report that attendance to the state, and if the state sees a day where 100 or however many kids are here or absent, they’re going to start asking questions.”
“Everybody, shut up,” he started as he addressed like-minded students. “This is not an excuse for any of you freshmen and sophomores to disrespect your teachers. If I hear of anybody disrespecting teachers or staff tomorrow, that makes us look bad. We want this to be a peaceful, respectful movement; we are just trying to gain back our rights as citizens. We do not care — the teachers, in the end, are just doing their jobs. It doesn’t come from them; it comes from the state.”
“Now, what we’re hoping is that they kick us out,” he explained. “This sounds bad, but we’re hoping that they kick us out, because they have to report that attendance to the state, and if the state sees a day where 100 or however many kids are here are absent, they’re going to start asking questions. Our hope is that we can get this state-wide.”
