Pa. school district apologizes after teacher caught taping mask to student’s face

The photo of a teacher taping a student's mask was posted to Facebook, prompting backlash from the community.

A Pennsylvania middle school teacher was seen in a now-viral classroom photograph taping a mask to a student’s face – drawing outrage from the community and forcing the district to issue an apology.

The incident took place at Pennfield Middle School in Hatfield and a picture that captured it was shared Monday on Facebook by a group called “North Penn Stronger Together.”

“Pro-mask or anti-mask, I hope we can all agree that taping masks to children’s faces crosses the LINE. This was not a joke for the child or the parents,” the post said.

The group urged the North Penn School District to take action and encouraged community members to voice their opinion at a Thursday night school board meeting.
