Seattle elementary school students forced to eat outdoors during COVID-19 — and some say it’s child abuse
A Seattle-area elementary school is making headlines after a policy regarding outdoor lunch periods due to the COVID-19 pandemic circulated on the internet.
According to a Tuesday report from PJ Media, administrators at Queen Anne Elementary school have decided that their students will be eating outdoors during the winter months amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Seattle-area radio host Ari Hoffman tweeted the school’s newest policy and captioned it, “Queen Anne Elementary in Seattle is forcing kids to eat lunch outside in freezing temperatures. Sadly, that’s nothing new. What is new is when they go inside because it is too wet/cold they: have their own ‘eating spots,’ slide their mask on & off between bites, ‘eat silently'[.]”
A majority of people commenting on Hoffman’s tweet railed against the practice and said it was nothing short of child abuse.- READ MORE
