Omaha-area teachers gather at Memorial Park in support of mask mandate

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Emily Nitcher

Red ribbon looped through belt buckles and tucked into pockets linked the teachers together but kept them 6 feet apart.

The teachers stood at the edge of Memorial Park and held up signs to the cars whizzing past on Dodge Street eliciting honks and waves.

“I would die for my students, please don’t make me,” one sign read.

“What do we want?” teacher Halley Taylor yelled into a megaphone.

STRIKE !

If you sincerely believe the words on your sign, STAY HOME !!! That would be the only choice you have.


If there ain't no teachers, there ain't no school.
