Protestors demonstrate against mask mandate at Ardmore City Hall




A group of protestors were outside of Ardmore City Hall on Saturday demonstrating against the city’s recent mandate of masks or face coverings when inside all public buildings. The protestors believe it is not the government’s place to tell citizens what they should do with their own bodies, instead they believe it should be up to the individual to make a personal decision.

Brian Edge, who has started a petition at change.org demanding the mandate be removed spoke about why they were protesting. He believes the city, which according to the city’s website posted the agenda for the mask mandate meeting at 8:58 a.m. on November 10, did not give proper notice prior to the commission vote.

“It’s not about the mask being a good idea, it’s about the government telling us it’s a good idea without us having an opinion on it,” Edge said. “This was passed without any type of public announcement. They posted the agenda and then said, oh, by the way, we’re going to do this and you are too. It’s about the government telling us what to do with our body.”

While he is not against anyone choosing to wear a mask, he believes it should be just that — a choice.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigt.

It would so tempting to walk up to those people and strip naked, and say, "these clothes are a prison and don't demonstrate the beauty of His creation!" I wonder how that might fly.
