Kittitas, Wash. — In rural Kittitas County, Washington, school and public-health officials are radio silent in the wake of an atrocity at the Kittitas Secondary School that potentially violated child and parental privacy rights, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rights, and Washington state laws of informed consent.

False reports from the Kittitas County Public Health Department on September 10 stated that an “uncontrolled COVID spread” threatened a 14-day closure of the Kittitas School District, whereupon radical teachers and administrators coerced a select group of students into mandatory COVID-19 testing on school property, with many children pressured to submit to testing without parent permission. 

Pandemonium ensued at the school in the tight-knit, eastern Washington community on September 13, just days after the Kittitas School Board of Education announced it would not be enforcing Governor Jay Inslee’s statewide mask mandate. Concerned parents voiced their frustration at a recent board meeting on September 22, but as of this writing, the district has yet to update its COVID policies or publicly acknowledge the appalling actions of the Kittitas school staff and administration.
