3 years ago I became the first American citizen to be banned from an airline for refusing to wear a mask. I was on American Airlines, and an overzealous flight attendant told me it was a federal law that I wear a mask, and that the plane wouldn’t leave unless I did. I told her it was not a federal law. In fact, at that point it wasn’t even a mandatory airline policy. I was told to leave the plane, which I did with no argument. A reporter from CNN was on that plane and turned my refusal to participate in the insanity that was sweeping our nation into a story, which became international news. Because of the pressure from the leftwing media, the mandatory mask policy was instituted a day or two after my incident, and I was banned from American Airlines until such time that “masks are no longer required”.
I’m sure there are many people in this world who would like me to feel ashamed about the incident and the subsequent banning, but I do not. At a time in history when most people voluntarily went along with all that was illogical because it was easier not to stand up against the madness, and even consented to giving up their rights, I stood by my principles. Even when it was costly and unpopular to do so.
3 years later, I’m flying American Airlines again for the first time today. Never voluntarily comply to do what you know in your heart to be wrong.
