A middle school in Santa Ana, California was accused of forcing a special needs student to stay outside for hours in 90-degree weather after being kicked out for not wearing a mask.

Ezra Nelson’s first day of school at Hewes Middle School in the Tustin Unified School District on Aug. 12 was off to a smooth start until he arrived maskless to choir class. After being asked to put one on, Ezra politely declined, telling his teacher he preferred not to.
