SANTA ANA, Calif. — An Orange County father is suing his son’s high school, claiming the teen was in effect expelled for wearing a mesh face mask.
Aidan Palicke, a 17-year-old junor at Yorba Linda High, has not attended classes since January, when he was told not to return to campus without a protective face covering.
Chris Palicke’s lawsuit in Orange County Superior Court says that the school’s “targeted harassment and discrimination” led to his son’s “expulsion” into a home-based study program.
