A document threatening lawsuits, criminal charges, and heavy fines against school officials for enforcing COVID-19 protocols has been delivered to board members and others in the Hermosa Beach City School District.

One of the officials, who declined to be identified, called the document  “scary, but toothless.”

The nine-page document, titled “Notice of Intent to File Claim Against Government Crime Policy Declarations, Crime and Fidelity,” was sent by Hermosa Beach resident Victoria Cannon.

Cannon told Easy Reader she is “part of a team” of local parents concerned about their children, and said the document was prepared by a lawyer whom she would identify only as “Lee.” It is similar, Cannon added, to documents being distributed to school officials “in Los Angeles County and elsewhere.”

The “claim” asserts that school officials have been conducting “unconstitutional and illegal actions” by following COVID-19 practices specified by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Cannon’s document charges the school official with “violating your oath of office,” and “practicing medicine without a license.”

The document cites as an “abuse of power” the act of “requiring proof of a COVID-19 vaccination, testing, boosting, and masking for employees of emergency medical services, fire, law enforcement, temporary disaster shelters, dental offices, pharmacies, students, employers and patrons.”

Cannon said the objective of the document “is to show what’s going on in the schools right now, how they treat the children and what they do to the children.” And she insisted the intent was “not to intimidate, but to inform. We’re trying to educate [board members],” she said, noting, “I’ve been reading up on this.”

Included in the document is a list purporting to cite amounts of fines for a variety of crimes, including a $1 million fine for genocide, and $250,000 for violation of oath of office and for treason. ER
