(Fargo, ND) -- A group of about 30 demonstrators with the group "Let Parents Decide That" demonstrated Wednesday afternoon in front of the office for Fargo Cass Public Health.  

Group founder and spokesperson Cassie Schmidt said they were demonstrating against all Covid-19 mandates and restrictions, including vaccine mandates and mask requirements in Fargo Public Schools. "We are out here to show support for stopping any and all Covid mandates and overreaches including forced masking especially in schools," said Schmidt.  Schmidt also spoke against close contact quarantine measures being used in area schools.  Deonstrators held signs and American flags. 

Some drivers honked their horns while passing by on 13th Avenue South.
