A video surfaced claiming to show Portland-area kindergartners being forced to eat lunch outside in 40-degree weather, while seated on socially-distanced buckets.

Speaking to the Post Millennial, a concerned parent said, “As a parent of a student at Capitol Hill Elementary, this policy is abhorrent. I am beyond furious, especially knowing children are low-risk. Governor Brown maskless in DC this weekend was the last straw. We’ve been patient with all of the policies here in Portland in hopes of not being ostracized within the community, but this is the last straw. I will be picking my child up to have lunch at home.”
Portland Public Schools have not commented on the matter.
