Troy Pierini, a high school sophomore in Orange County, has been locked out of his classroom, had the police called on him, received a citation for trespassing, and was ultimately suspended, all because he has refused to wear a mask.

Pierini, 16, says he has a learning disability, and the cloth over his mouth—and that of his teacher—only makes things worse. He said his friends feel similarly.
