Adults in Clovis boo and jeer student speaking at school board meeting

A student who spoke at a Clovis Unified school board meeting in favor of masking and vaccines was booed and jeered by adults in the audience, according to the Fresno Bee.

One person said, “Boy, sit.” Another woman said, “Just because one person is allergic to water, should we all stop drinking water?”

The student left the room in tears after the backlash.

Most of the adults who spoke at the meeting were asking the board to ignore state vaccine and mask mandates and allow parents to choose whether to vaccinate their children or make them wear masks to school.

Superintendent Eimear O’Brien said the treatment student Rami Zwebti received was “disturbing and utterly unacceptable,” according to the paper.
