The Left has a strange obsession with young kids.
And they just took that obsession to a whole new level.
Now, they are sending the cops after preschoolers who do not comply with their agenda.
Voice of San Diego is a local news outlet in San Diego, California. This week, they put out a shocking article about what the city government in San Diego has been up to.
Unlike most of the country, San Diego still has a mask mandate for schools, and they are willing to go to very extreme lengths to enforce it.
According to the article, “Stephanie and Richard Rosado recently told their 4-year-old son about the importance of not talking to strangers. Only days later, state regulators came to the child’s preschool, isolated him in a room away from his teachers and friends and asked him questions about masking.”
The article continued, “Regulators isolated and interviewed children aged one to four, a step many parents say was inappropriate and unnecessary.”
Of course, telling a preschool-aged child to wear a mask and keep it on his or her face is ridiculously impossible. And that’s why the preschool wasn’t complying with the law.
“The owners of Aspen Leaf reasoned that children would not be allowed to wear masks while they were sleeping or eating. In other words, they’d give each other COVID-19 no matter what. On top of that, they didn’t believe the masks would be great for children’s development.”
As a result, the city of San Diego decided to brutally crack down on the preschool. They visited the school facilities multiple times in the month of December, and then finally, more recently, decided to bring the hammer down.
They separated the children from their teachers, interviewed them, and then gave the school a Type A citation, which is the most severe kind.
Now, Aspen Leaf has to force toddlers to wear masks, or face being shut down by the city of San Diego.
Karen Townsend from HotAir.com was furious when she read the story.
“Even if the authorities were responding to a complaint by a parent as justification for the raid, separating the two to four year olds and individually questioning them about the school’s mask policy seems like it would be way out of line. Two year olds usually can’t communicate very clearly with strangers and they have likely been taught to not talk to strangers. Of course parents were furious to learn about the investigation and how their babies were dragged into it.”
Toddlers are some of the least vulnerable people in society to COVID-19. The number of deaths of children that age from COVID is astronomically small, and most of the cases that do exist involve children with serious pre-existing health problems.
The average healthy 3-year old is perfectly safe from COVID. But for some inexplicable reason, the Left wants to make children behave according to their ideology.
And if they don’t comply, they are apparently willing to send the police in to crack down.
