A judge ruled that a lawsuit filed on behalf of a Wyoming woman who refused to comply with her former high school’s mask mandate in 2021 can proceed.

Grace Smith was a 16-year-old junior at Laramie High School when she got into trouble for trespassing. She was unhappy with the school’s rule about wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Smith didn’t want to attend virtual classes and chose to go to school without a mask, which was mandatory for in-person learning. As a result, she faced suspension three times for not following the mandate.

Despite the warnings, Smith persisted in attending school without a mask. This led to her arrest for trespassing. Her father, Andy Smith, was present during her arrest and recorded the incident, sharing it online.

Grace Smith later withdrew from the school.
