RALEIGH, N.C. — Lyndi Amos loves being a stay at home mom, especially now that her three kids are learning from home.

COVID-19 cases are rising across the country as medical experts express concern over the Delta Variant, a new, more contagious strain of the virus

Meanwhile, North Carolina schools are welcoming kids back to the classroom with Governor Roy Cooper’s mask mandate for schools still in effect

The CDC recently announced fully vaccinated teachers and students don’t have to wear masks in school, however, the American Academy of Pediatrics announced on Monday that masks should be worn regardless of your vaccination status

All of the conflicting guidance is angering Wake County parents, many of whom protested outside the Wake County School Board meeting on Tuesday

“It’s having control over what they’re learning, control over the schedule, the flexibility," she said.

Amos moved her kids out of Wake County public schools and switched to homeschooling shortly after the pandemic hit. One of her reasons, she says, is how race and history are being taught in the classroom.

“Teaching children that they are born a certain way with inherent dislike of other people, things like that. Knowing that if I sent my kids to school, I would then be detoxing them every night," Amos said.

However, Amos says her biggest motivation for keeping the kids at home are mask requirements.

“For me, I see a kid in a mask and I just want to scream. I just want to go let them breathe, let them smile, it looks so depressing, and it just reminds me of a kid being kidnapped or something," she said.

Next, Amos says you factor in vaccines and kids possibly not wearing masks in schools but only if they’re vaccinated.

“You’re shouting your medical record out to the world and it’s not okay. I don’t think any of that is okay. I don’t understand how a pandemic got rid of all of our choice in medical issues," Amos said.

Although the CDC says vaccines for teens are safe and masks reduce the spread, Amos can't imagine ever sending her kids back to public school.

“I don’t know that I could trust a public school to have my kids best interest at heart," she said. "I think that it’s a fight that everybody, whether you’re a parent or not, should be involved in. If you believe that our country should be saved from certain things then you should be fighting.”
