A video of a school board meeting in Florida has gone viral for speech given by one anti-masker.
The mom made her views clear on Monday evening at the Lee County School Board meeting. Such meetings have seen some heated speeches in recent days, ahead of the new school year starting and many districts struggling to contain the Delta variant of Covid-19.
“My name is Melissa,” begins the woman. “I have two daughters in the school system. These are demonic entities and we need to stick together. Remember, we have authority in Christ Jesus.
“These are demonic entities in all of the school boards in all of the United States of America. And all of us Christians will be sticking together to take them all out,” she continues, reminding us a little of the mom from that Stephen King book, Carrie.
How about we take this to the next level?

Woman said she is an RN with 2 kids, told the Lee County FL Sch Bd last night: “You are all demonic entities. All of us christians are sticking together to take you all out. These doctors that were sneering at us like we’re scumbags, they need to go back to f*cking med school.” pic.twitter.com/sXl7yQ6HO8

“All the police officers that take us out for our First Amendment right will also be going down with them. Do you understand?
“I’m a nurse, infectious disease, 13 years. Masks don’t work. These doctors that were sneering at us like we’re scumbags, they need to go back to fucking medical school.”
At this point her mic is turned off and she is given a warning.
“Turn my mic on!” she demands, before continuing.
“You need to remember, natural immunity is best. You are all demonic entities. You are going to be taken down.”

Twitter had a lot to say on her appearance.
I hope to god whatever medical center she works for fires her immediately. Who can trust a nurse who doesn’t believe in science and thinks her patients might be demonic entities that must be taken out?

One person made a good point about how some Christians cherry-pick at the Bible, embracing what they deem anti-gay and ignoring other parts.
Please ask all these “christians” why at Lev 13:45 God told Israelites to cover the lower part of their face and self isolate to stop the contagious virus of their time? The use Leviticus to justify hating gays but they conveniently ignore the mask mandate in the bible.

And we’re supposed to find middle ground here? These people are completely off thier rockers and the internet has given them a place to congregate and find each other.

The Lee County School superintendent announced Monday that the district’s schools require teachers and students to wear masks, and there is no opt-out option.
Fort Myers NBC News affiliate announced that after the superintendent made the announcement, some physical fights had to be broken up outside the district’s headquarters, where protestors had gathered.
Parents are protesting the Lee County School Boards decision to mandate masks. The school boards meeting starts at 5. High security here tonight. pic.twitter.com/XW3e4F488g

Florida has the worst Covid rate in the US. Despite this, GOP Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order prohibiting school district administrators from enforcing mask mandates.
That executive order was ruled by a judge last week to be unconstitutional.
However, yesterday, Florida’s Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran announced, in line with DeSantis’ order, that administrators in Alachua and Broward counties would have their salaries withheld because they had implemented mask mandates.
Although the Covid rate in the state is now showing signs of declining, in mid-August Florida was reporting around 25,000 new Covid cases a day. It remains to be seen what will happen now that schools are reopening.
Mister P
I feel sorry for her two daughters, but also everyone in America is going to be affected by her type of ignorance.
TomG
Obviously if public schools are demonic in her opinion why isn’t she sending her kids to a so-called “Christian” school so they can be brainwashed like her ?
Prax07
People like her need to be immediately cut off from speaking and escorted out. They need to be told their unmasked, unvaxxed, kids aren’t welcome any longer and to just homeschool if they don’t want to be a part of healthy society anymore. Enough of coddling these lunatics.

How does someone like this “nurse” practice in her field for 13 years yet still run around with utter nonsense about “demons” and the idea that “masks don’t work”? Has she missed the fact that surgeons and other medical staff wear masks when they operate to prevent infection spread during surgeries??? That masking has been shown to work for centuries? That yes, as the Bible, which she apparently has not read, advises, people should mask in order to prevent disease spread? And why can no one ever challenge nutcases like this in real time? Unfortunately she has children she’s probably screwing up with her nutty, anti-science views!
SoloMcDaniel
She’s being fairly threatening to school board members and the police.
ScottOnEarth
A huge percentage of this country is genuinely mentally-ill. This is no joke and these lunatics have found each other online, so the problem will only get much worse. This nutcase has no business EVER treating patients in any setting.
trojanboy
She should wear one. It will go a little to hiding her ugliness. Loon.

Florida and Texas need to be kicked out of the union and DC and Puerto Rico replace them. I am very conservative and mindful of flag makers!! Now they will need to do nothing. This is the most sane and econmical thing to do for our country.
fur_hunter
I would never, NEVER want this 8ITCH as my nurse……Sing to the tune of ‘Nothing like a Dame’ from South Pacific…………. She is just a f*cking C*NT!……….. Nothing but a C*NT……… She is just a f*cking C*NT…….. She is just a….. f*ck….. ing…… C*NT!!!!
frapachino
You have unhealthy issues with women!

They should have at least tranquilized her but if they’d accidentally used the wrong weapon I’d be fine with that too. She’s poison. Scary that this nutjob was a nurse. Imagine the damage she did. I hope they look into her history as a nurse because i would guess there’s a slew of complaints against her.
Sotzume
This person is clearly severely mentally ill and should have her children removed from her custody IMMEDIATELY. She is a clear and present danger to the community and to her family.
miller2900
…. not clear as to the date when this evil nutcase (no offense to those with mental health issues) spewed her BS but I sure hope by now her employer has fired her. She is a danger to any patients she has access to. If I were a patient at the hospital or medical facility where she currently works and found out that her employer hadn’t fired her by now, I’d definitely be consulting an attorney. It can be dangerous enough being a patient with all the screw-ups that occur in any medical facility to begin with let alone knowingly allowing an obviously dangerous individual to be acting as an “infectious-disease” nurse and treating people. I would also hope that after this short video plays for a few days that those with the power to do so in the State of Florida yank any license she has and initiate an investigation into her competency to treat patients…. or even pets!!! This display of what one could say is a seriously delusional individual in a public setting demands that officials take immediate actions to protect the public and quite possibly her own children from harm…. physical or mental or both!

Just deplorable. Speakers like her are not that uncommon at School Board and City Council meetings where they have to give members of the public a chance to address the board – I think it’s how MT Greene got her start. The speaker here really seems like a demonic entity accusing everyone else of being a demonic entity, but I guess that’s how these mental illness situations can manifest themselves. I hope there’s someone in her life who can protect her children and get her help.
With social media, the ravings of these crackpots spread and copycats are encouraged. It would be better to give them less attention, but that’s not going to happen; also, there’s the 2nd Amendment aspect of the problem. Overall, I expect there to be more security checks and other security measures at these meetings.

As a nurse myself people would be shocked how many bigoted Karen’s the profession has.

Our state governor finally decided school kids should wear them. It’s certain to be answered by a lawsuit.
Our company decided people should wear them. I already did. About two-thirds of us already did, even though we’re vaccinated. It just seems…obvious.
Invader7
Show us your state nursing registration card you NUT BAG.. Go take a bath in some of that anti-parasite sheep dip , you lunatic.. Please DON’T wear a mask..so you and your ilk will die off …

And this is entered into evidence as Exhibit 3,445,669,679,468,257,135,356-J in the case of Reality vs Religion. I think by this point, an over abundance of evidence has been added to the record to prove that religious belief is overwhelmingly harmful to the growth of society, overwhelmingly harmful to everyone (except those who profit from spreading false doctrines) IN those societies, and – no matter what good may be accomplished in the name of this or that religion – ultimately deserving of the death penalty.
If mankind is ever to evolve beyond fearful, ignorant, hateful primates (like this woman), it will only be after the monstrous evil that is organized religion is finally, mercifully put down.

Wheres Melissa now? In jail? in the nut house? This woman is obviously not a fit mother less a nurse. Bye

Did anybody else have difficulty hearing the audio when she spoke? I was only able to hear her greeting and her first sentence, and then it went dead…

I look forward to the update of this story where she (but not her kids) gets a SEVERE case of COVIID and needs to be admitted to the worst county funded hospital in her area and ends up needing a ventilator, but they don’t have one available and another Nurse Rachet has to tell her she has no chance of surviving and her family aren’t allowed to be with her because she is so contagious. DON’T RIP
GayEGO
Sorry Melissa, natural immunity is death as proven by those who did not get vaccinated from the COVID-19 Virus. Jesus Christ must be rolling in his grave over your asinine comments!

I visited Lee County, Florida, last November. There are many lovely, sane people there, including the folks at Beach Baptist Church (surprise!) There are also many (including two of my Lyft drivers) who drank the Trump Kool-aide and are horribly misinformed and gullible and voting/acting against their own self-interests.
