October 12, 2021
She’d rather go to jail than wear a mask. Sixteen-year-old Grace Smith refused to comply with her high school’s mask mandate in Laramie, Wyoming, and was suspended as a result. She attempted to go to class anyway, but was not allowed in the school without a mask. She decided to sit on the floor and refused to move despite being asked to leave several times, so cops were called and Grace was arrested for trespassing. She told Inside Edition she couldn’t believe she was arrested.
