- Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs Further Addresses Schools’ ADA Litigation and D.C.-based Non-profit’s Involvement.
TRANSCRIPT:
"I’d like to talk about the federal order mandating universal masking in Knox County Schools. Since Schools are the target of this order, my office does not technically have standing in this case, but I cannot ignore the calls from the hundreds of residents and parents who have reached out to me, expressing their disappointment with this situation.
Further, I won’t stop speaking up on behalf of these students and their families who feel as if they aren’t being heard when they speak for themselves.
When Judge Greer mandated this edict, he did so with the intent of protecting students with certain disabilities, and I truly believe that was his intent. I do not believe that he would knowingly cause harm. However, this order makes it impossible to serve the needs of hundreds if not thousands of other students with special needs, and In doing so, has forced the schools to actively violate 504 and IEP plans which are in place to ensure that those students have reasonable accommodations to meet their needs, none of which have been made available to them in the ten days they were forced to sit in isolation rooms or at home.
He said his mandate was based on ADA, but instead it forces the school system to violate ADA requirements.
Judge Greer asked the schools to provide a list of suggested medical masking exemptions for his consideration. The schools submitted that list on September 29th. Since the medical exemption list was submitted, The Court has said nothing. Meaning the schools must continue operating in this horrifically unjust status quo.
For many students masking is simply not an option. This injunction is Actively hurting them; which is in direct opposition of what the plaintiff’s case claims to be doing in the name of ADA.
Also, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that the plaintiff’s attorneys are based out of Jackson and Chattanooga and their arguments are being supported by the D.C.-based litigation non-profit Democracy First. This group was founded and is managed by high-level Democratic Party operatives with significant ties to Hillary Clinton. People like John Podesta who was Bill Clinton’s presidential Chief of Staff and Chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Their main goal is to advance a political agenda that removes the ability of parents to determine what is best for their child.
They are instigating filings in Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Texas, and Memphis, and they’re making a mess of things in Knox County without care or acknowledgement of the potentially irreparable harm they are doing to so many of our students. In other words, are kids are being used as fodder to further a political agenda.
I believe the elected members of the Board of Education are fully qualified and capable of determining what is best for Knox County schools, and that they should continue making the decisions that impact students most.
Judge Greer should allow them to do so. I ask that he also respond to the motions filed by the Law Department, stop allowing politically motivated out-of-towners to bog the system down with briefs, share a specific timeline for the advancement of this case, and provide a comprehensive plan to the schools for how best to serve all their students.
Acting swiftly and objectively in this case is the only way around appearing as if the litigation is anything other than an attempt to push a political agenda at the expense of the very children this order claims to protect."
As the mother of a special needs child who needs to read lips I am beyond exhausted with these unscientific mask mandates. The science is in that that make no difference, but they do ensure hearing disabled children cannot participate in society. Shame on all involved.
Thank you for explaining it so clearly. The unjust status quo is why my children are now pulled out of knox county schools. They are not pawns in this game. We the parents!
We need Kane for president
2024 -Glenn Jacobs for President. Lets get the ball rolling!
Very detailed Mayor Glenn. Very informative. You have my full support.
Why hasn’t the state of TN stepped in? What has Governor Bill Lee done about this? What are the consequences of just ignoring this order? This will not work favorably at election time for Governor Bill Lee.
The fact that he is wearing his wwe hall of fame ring just shows how much he loves and loved the wwe,long live kane,as we know him now:Glenn kane Jacobs
As a mother of a child who is respectfully declining masks to stand for those that can’t, thank you. My child is repeatedly being counted absent, although she is present, but is being forced to sit, untaught, unguided, and unjustly segregated in a separate room with others who refuse masking.
Thank you for trying to help our side and prayers for parents to be able to decide what’s best for OUR kids.
Bruh how fuckin hard is it to wear a mask. It's not that bad. People do it all the time. White people just look for reasons to feel oppressed.
Praying that he runs for president in the future
2024 is not too soon. He should run as an independent,if it is Biden against Trump he could win.
@@cottonballable Nah not independent
Jacobs for President!!!!
How is Glenn Jacobs doing as Mayor? Just a general question from a huge fan of Kane to any Knoxville residents wanting to reply. Hoping he is doing well for Knoxville. He's looking well and healthy!
I saw this guy only as Kane for a long time. This is Glen now. I thought he was a meme, but I was wrong.
Fast forward: No matter the political spectrum or independent values you find important, he is representing his people.
Fast forward again: He is now openly telling ALL people what he did from the start. Unless you have skin in the DC game, forget any sort of representation. I have the vax, I'm ok. Get it if you feel it's needed. I suggest you get it if you don't have medical professionals available to you. We all need to make our own choices. But a politician who openly says what is needed to be said, without agenda, is severely rare.
***I want to clarify I mean "ALL people" as all people. Not some political inset for ALL [something] anything. ***
Mayor jacobs your amazing. Keep up all the good work your doing
President Glenn Jacobs 2028
Jacobs For Governor 2022!!
He's running for a 2nd term as mayor, I so want him to be governor.. And then president
@@AntonioPhoenixHernandez30 Psh, it’s too monopolized against him for President. Hell, the Russians had to help Trump by just scrubbing all the fake votes from Hillary. To bad they couldn’t help this last election.

The only mandates masks should be the KANE mask!

I love how Kane is making it sound like he doesn't have a political agenda himself.
Yeah, his political agenda is to stay out of people’s lives and reduce federal oversight in local governments. Anymore questions?
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is not a political agenda; it's in our Bill of Rights!
Exactly, like he starts off and it's like "hmm ok, I guess" and then drifts into a whole thing about Hillary Clinton and Podesta, like holy shit.
