(FiveNation.com)- The assault on children’s education continues, and it’s not just in the United States. A shocking story from Austria described how a 9-year-old disabled boy who refused to wear a mask was forced to sit outside in freezing cold temperatures to take an exam.
The incident has prompted an investigation into the matter, with school authorities asking why the student was treated so poorly, despite having a legitimate exemption to the school mask mandates.
A photograph shooting the young boy from Voitsberg sitting outside was taken by someone inside of a classroom and shared online. He can be seen working away in 33-degree (F) temperatures.
Just take a look at this:

It’s not the only time something like this has happened, either. Here in the United States, students have been punished throughout the entire COVID-19 pandemic either by being denied access to in-person learning, or being made to study or eat outside during their lunch breaks.
In December, videos revealed how students at the Capitol Hill Elementary School in Portland, Oregon, were made to sit on buckets outside in 40-degree weather.
The buckets were used as a sort of social distancing system, and students were told not to leave their buckets over fear that they may infect other students if they aren’t wearing their (ineffective) cloth masks.

Who in their right minds thinks this is an ethical way to treat children?
