<p>Roommates, while we are still in a pandemic, schools have reportedly started <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/more-than-260-employees-in-georgias-largest-school-district-forced-to-quarantine-a-day-after-going-back-to-work/">opening back up</a> for in-person instruction, and one Georgia high school was not happy with one of their students posting a back to school picture online!</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2020/08/06/georgia-school-hallway-pic-suspension-covid-19-coronavirus/">TMZ,</a> Georgia&#8217;s North Paulding High School suspended Hannah Waters for five days after she posted a photo of a crowded hallway in her school. In the caption, Hannah expresses that only 10% of the students were wearing masks.</p>
<p>&#8220;Day two at North Paulding High School. It is just as bad. We were stopped because it was jammed,&#8221; she said. &#8220;This is not ok. Not to mention the 10% mask rate.&#8221;</p>
<p>The school put out a statement shortly after the photo started circulate, and say Hannah&#8217;s suspension was put into place for violating the school&#8217;s social media policy, and posting images of minors without consent. They also mention that wearing a mask is not a policy they can enforce.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wearing a masks is a personal choice and there is no practical way to enforce a mandate to wear them. What we we will do is continue to strongly encourage all students and staff to wear masks.&#8221;</p>

<p>After news of Hannah being penalized started getting national attention, the school has decided to lift the suspension, and she took to Twitter thanking everyone for their support.</p>
<p>&#8220;This morning my school called and they have deleted my suspension. To everyone supporting me, I can&#8217;t thank you enough. If I&#8217;m not responding it&#8217;s because my life has been somewhat crazy the past few days. Once again thank you.</p>
