A student's father sued the Palo Alto Unified School District after his son was kicked out of a summer history class for not wearing a mask.
A father of an incoming senior at Palo Alto High School said he “had no other choice” but to sue the school district after his son was kicked out of a summer class for refusing to wear a mask, citing fears his son would not graduate on time.
The school district’s top brass allege Gokcek’s claims are a smokescreen for his personal aversion to masks.The school district asked Gokcek to provide proof of his son’s disability or medical condition, or for him to submit to an assessment with the district’s health team, court documents show. Gokcek declined in the absence of a written policy showing that was the protocol to receive an exemption.
Palo Alto Unified has allowed students with documented disabilities and medical conditions to attend class without a mask; some are required to wear a face shield instead. School district officials maintained that T.G. stopped receiving special education services for speech difficulties in 2018, according to emails included in the lawsuit.
Austin said Gokcek was “abusive to the staff” during that interaction and demanded they remove their masks. He said this was part of a history, referencing an instance where the family showed up to an eighth-grade graduation ceremony without face coverings.
