(Ankeny, IA) — An Iowa mother alleges retaliation in a lawsuit she has filed against the Ankeny Community School District. Kimberly Reicks says her daughter was forced to sit alone last December after she sent a doctor’s note to her school saying the student should be excused from wearing a face mask. That mask had caused a staph infection on the girl’s face. Reicks says school officials retaliated against her for speaking up against the face mask requirement for all students. Her attorney says no matter how you feel about policies on masks, a kindergarten student shouldn’t be punished because her mother is exercising her constitutional rights.
