COVID struck during Wyatt’s junior year of high school, carrying on through his senior year, and into his freshman year of college. He quickly learned that all of the mandates and lockdowns were not for safety but control. Being in the school system, he witnessed first-hand all the problems that these mandates caused. The mandates hindered the learning process of many students in ways that we will still see the repercussions of today and for many years to come. Wyatt Gable pledges to never impose mandates such as those, and promises to do everything in his power to make sure these atrocities never happen again.
