Anti-maskers clashed with students and passersby outside a California school.
The demonstrators stood outside various Santa Monica schools, where some high school seniors engaged in a counter-protest making absurd demands about valet parking and references to "Spongebob Squarepants," while parents told the protesters to leave, reported Patch.

That father told the demonstrators, who oppose the district's mask mandate and other measures to halt the spread of coronavirus, to stay away from John Adams Middle School and Will Rogers Elementary, while teens confronted the protesters.
Journalist Samuel Braslow, of the Beverly Hills Courier, recorded a series of videos of the encounters.

A woman told the protesters that she had lost three family members to COVID-19, but one demonstrator indicates that he doesn't care.
