Ex-Disney actress Leigh-Allyn Baker made the rounds on the internet last week after she was seen speaking out against totalitarian mask mandates at a Tennessee school board meeting.
In the video, Baker says her children are among the rare examples of students with medical exemptions to the COVID-19 vaccine. She goes on to slam the school board for enforcing mask mandates, which she says poses additional health risks to children — noting that kids need an unimpeded flow of oxygen to grow. Baker then calls into question why the school board feels it can enforce such mandates to begin with. You can see other parents in the room nodding and even cheering in support.
During an interview with Newsmax TV, Baker spoke about her decision to move from California to Tennessee and what led her to speak out.
“I just wasn’t willing to expose my children to that type of environment,” she said.
Baker’s comments are extremely relatable for every parent in America. Across the country, cases of COVID-19 have indeed been rising. However, the availability of treatments and vaccinations that were not present at this same time one year ago mean that deaths are far, far lower than they were. At this point, the idea that we have to shutter children indefinitely — and force them to breathe through a mask for 6-8 hours a day — just doesn’t make sense anymore.
Leigh-Allyn Baker is a familiar face for many. She is most notably known for her role as Amy Duncan, the matriarch of the Duncan family in the Disney children’s sitcom Good Luck Charlie.

How difficult can it be to test the children and find if they are at risk for the virus or get vaccinated. I think people are making this whole thing bigger than it has to be. If the vaccination works and I hope it does it should be no big problem for the parents to see that it is done.
If you don’t trust the government, welcome to the club. I don’t know of anyone who thinks Hillary is innocent , if nothing else she destroyed evidence that had been subpeonaed. I really don’t know why that is acceptable if you happen to be in a certain family or have plenty of money that you most likely stole. The dealings in Benghazi are most likely treason and should be punishable by firing squad. These things do not give them the right nor any other rights as in to mandate a vaccine. However if we depend on people like you and me to come up with a vaccine we are in trouble.
