"I I'm I'm certainly not a a hero in this fight. I there's so many people that do that do and have done so much. You know? I really I'm inspired by the by the parents that went to the school board meetings and and raised their voices and ended up getting charged criminally. That that inspires me," the commenter said.

The commenter described parents pushing for medical exemptions from mask policies and said their actions motivated the commenter to engage in public discourse. "The moms who were trying to get their kid in to be able to go to school without a mask because of they they were having some medical challenges. Those people inspire me," the commenter said.

So thank you for what you're doing," the commenter said.
