Swedish School Sends Pupil Home for Wearing Face Mask

by Toby Young
17 March 2021 10:35 PM

A mother in Sweden has revealed that her 13-year-old son was banned from attending classes at an international school in the Stockholm region until he agreed to remove the mask he was wearing. The Local, an English-language European news site, has more.

Linus decided to wear a face mask when he returned to classes at the British International School Stockholm (BISS) in Danderyd, outside Stockholm, on Monday. The school teaches around 550 children aged 3-17, according to its website.

“I decided to wear a mask to school. The first lesson [goes] fine with it on. But then in the beginning of lesson two, the teacher asks me to take my mask off, and I of course say that I didn’t want to because of the coronavirus,” he wrote in an email, forwarded to the Local.

Linus said he was then made to wait isolated in a room for three hours before his mother, Sarah Jefford, a wine educator who grew up in Switzerland, was able to pick him up.

A wine educator?!? I didn’t know that job existed. Where do I apply?

Worth reading in full.

local.eu/wherever is full on woke.

It’s not possible to tell if Linus was being coerced or heavily influenced by his parents views but, assuming that he made his own mind up, It is no business of the school to exclude him as wearing masks is clearly an option for those who wish to do so.

Alternatively perhaps he was put into seclusion for entering the school with a single eye-hole balaclava while brandishing a machine pistol.

Almost every article from the past few weeks here on LS, covid/lockdown bollocks from the MSM, celebrities and politicos should be plastered with a block stencil reading
‘2021 covid crisis done and dusted, file copy November 21 under “2022 mutant Covid variant already undermining NHS”‘.

I’m fiercely against masks being mandated but I support the right to wear one. It shouldn’t disrupt his education and the first lesson went fine.

Sorry – but the attempt at a balanced parallel is plain dumb. The reasons we oppose the wearing of masks by children is precisely the reason why they shouldn’t wear them of their own volition.

Whether the school handled the child and parent’s confusion properly is another matter.

  1. There is no need for a child to wear a mask at school
  2. He’s being disruptive to classes by wearing one. Why do you think the teacher acted after the first lesson?
  3. He’s sure to be picked on for choosing to stand out from all other pupils – it wastes a teacher’s time to try to control that
  4. He’s implying other pupils are not ‘dressing property’ and that he is superior – he’ll thank his parents for that .

  1. Agreed. However he wants to and believes that there is a need.
  2. If he wears one and doesn’t say anything about it then it shouldn’t be disruptive. The teacher could have said something before the lesson.
  3. Kids get picked on for a matter of things and that’s a risk that he and his family took. If anything, it sounds like the teacher made an issue out of it.
  4. He can imply all he wants.
