A viral photo showing students in a Georgia high school crowded in hallways and with few visible masks resulted in the sophomore who posted it being suspended, she said.

Hannah Watters, a student at North Paulding High School in Dallas, Georgia, saw a photo of packed halls on the first day of school go viral. And when she saw that little had changed after that, she told CNN's Laura Coates on Thursday, she felt she had to share what it looked like inside the school. So, she took a photo of the scene and posted it to social media.

Read MoreIn a letter to the community, Superintendent Brian Otott said the photo was taken out of context, writing:"Class changes at the high school level are a challenge when maintaining a specific schedule. It is an area we are continuing to work on in this new environment to find practicable ways to further limit students from congregating. Students are in this hallway environment for just a brief period as they move to their next class. ...

This is what tRump wants for all of the rest of public schools. But Not his child Barron ! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander

DukeDeAndre Schools want only money but parents should double check before sending their kids to school

OMG ... I have seen all the MSM tweet this 100 times a day for the past week. 💤... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Brave girl.

I wonder what would happen if most of the students posted pictures or made statements line this. Suspending over half the school would look very bad for its administration.

Unfortunate, the student was probably frightened to be there and did it to mandate some form of protection for fellow students!

There is no way this is a current photo... kids wouldn’t be wearing sweatshirts to school in August in Atlanta. Duh!

Many leaders said over and over that protesters yelling for days and that were shoulder to shoulder would be fine and no cause transmission of covid then these kids will be fine!!!

That’s the way to react to this. Censor the person showing it. Very Trump like. Enjoy the results you are getting. Pathetic.

If the kids must be there, why make them change rooms at all? The co-hort model is worth a try. Assign a 'homeroom' for students and rotate the teachers instead. Ventilate the classrooms, masks required. Lunch outside.

Rolling the dice with our nation's youth. We have hit an all time low.

Yeah that will fix the problem. No pics no problem. No test no virus. See? Done

Georgia attorneys will love to take her case and represent her for improper disciplinary action by that principal. That student ought to sue, either now or after she graduates. She is only standing up for what is right and safe during this pandemic.

The student should be applauded.

Call North Paulding High to support this student - and encourage them to stop 'dumbing down' their entire student population: 770-443-9400 8am - 4pm EDT

School's gonna be out due to the entire student body being suspended for showing the ignorance of the school administration now.

masks are not mandatory in Georgia and she was suspended for being on social media during class - not for posting the picture. knock-off the fake news CNN. you're not helping the cause.

Makes me wonder how if they have taken any precautions inside the classrooms. That school is not protecting these kids. How long before one or more gets COVID?

That's BS, Cuomo prime time needs to get after this!!! What do you say Chris, you gonna get after it?Right is right but this is wrong!

drpeternagel Ein hoch auf den Ersten Verfassungszusatz...

Trump World, those who report crimes or misdeeds are punished. He must have read that in his Bible.

In about 14-21 days there's going to be a whole lot of coughing going on. And they are all going home to their parents houses, who will then visit their kids grandparents. Ask Grandma what type of coffin she wants for Christmas now before they put her on the ventilator.

Suspended the student for what? I'd fight that suspension to the max.

Did the school just use their power to punish and censor a student, because *they* weren't following regulations 🙃

Well the suspended kid is the lucky one.. that is a corona fest

That Georgian sophomore should be awarded not suspended. Why is it wrong to show what is actually happening, why is it wrong to tell the truth. The administration of that school should be suspended not the student!!!!

Look at CNN caring about America. Isn’t that special?

Blessing in disguise for her.

Less than one percent of all kids in the USA have died from COVID MORE HAVE DIED FROM FLU UNDER OBAMA!!

That’s disgusting why aren’t masks being mandated?!

Nobody likes a snitch

Satan just called; He wants Trump back again.

Fake... Old photo

This means the student obviously did something very right.... Shame on the school!

The next time a student is punished for violating a dress code, I hope the parents turn the school upside down! Now that schools are so incapable of managing personal choices!!

Schools nowadays has the dumbest rules ever. How the fuck did it get like this?

It's kinda ironic how crazy right wingers are terrified of losing their rights and freedoms and they 🐻 arms to protect them, but then they have a dictatorship in their schools and they try to cover-up the truth by punishing leaks. No wonder US needed the whistle blower act.

Yea no shit. That’s why most school districts closed

Superintendent. Using a cell phone can be regulated and is not a matter of freedom of choice but wearing a mask is some how not easy to regulate as it is a freedom of choice. Come on and get real here.

That sophomore should get whistle blower protections

You are a hero. You should be commended not suspended. We need more people to do what's right.

Be like mentioning something at UQ_News that didn’t fit the narrative

Again, going against science...this segment of the population does not get sick...but, hey, as a panic porn pimp, that’s your job...

Sure. Hide and punish the truth.

America is already becoming a communist country, Thank you Republicans HAHAHAHAHAH.

Thats why everybody Hates CNN..please dissapper!!

The principal is Gabe Carmona. You can let him know how you feel at gcarmonapaulding.k12.ga.us.

Amazing personality with great leadership qualities TheCryptoDog0 I believed in him and success followed. Initially I deposited $700 and in a couple of days I got $6300. Her credibility can’t be overlooked

What a hero! Hannah deserves a full ride scholarship to the school of her choice, to continue her journalism or political career, if she survives high school!

With this video, schools and others should be reopen. Thank you.

BrianKempGA and realDonaldTrump will let your children suffer and die to win reelection. Trump claims children are immune from Covid while Kemp sues Atlanta to prevent people from wearing masks. Florida has over 300 kids hospitalized with COVID19.

SnitchesGetStitches

Why?

This kids need to stop posting every thing on social media

And in the process she saved her own life While she is safe at home drinking tea on the couch the school is rampant with the Rona infecting kids & staff Pretty much what every kid should do to effect change in the school policy Kudos 😉

Always do what's right and not what is easy.

The person/s responsible for suspending this student should be named and ashamed abs then fired.

yup, this is really, really something🚬😑😔 save the children…what is the teachers doing/thinking ⁉️ 😰😨🥶😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬💥💥💥😡😡💣⚡⚡

Should have been commended. Don't understand all the backwards thinking going on with adults today

Georgia don’t give an f about nothing

If Orange One spots this, it'll be a rapid retweet for sure . . .

If only de Blasio was in charge there: snitches get rewards 🏆

I believe zey may be Jews. Ve should zeparate zem from da rest. Everyvone must vare de mas... Mine got zay got me!

If that twat nick sandman can sue for being a jerk....then this kid that posted the picture should sue for billions ......

what the hell

I have a butt nugget ready to shoot out my ass like a cannon ball with this massive fart that's building up

Just heard August SAT’s are being cancelled across the country. If they can’t have a 4 hour one day test, how can they have 7 hour a day schools open
