A fourth grade student in Florida's Martin County School District who went viral after pleading to his school board to end their non-scientific mask policy joined Fox News Tucker Carlson Tuesday night to discuss his experience wearing masks in the classroom.

The boy, named John Provenzano, told Tucker how the mask mandate makes no sense and how his teachers have been acting like hypocrites.

"They [teachers] literally say, "I'm done. Put your mask on because you're being disrespectful to all of us teachers who have to work really hard," and I'm like, "we're also working hard too," Provenzano told Tucker.

"It's almost a hundred degrees outside, while wearing cloth masks, and you expect us not to be hot and complain," Provenzano continued.

While speaking before the school board, Provenzano said that wearing masks makes him feel "anxious." Tucker asked him to further explain his feelings.

"Tell us what you feel like when you have to wear it [a mask] at school," Tucker said.

"Well, when I have to wear it at school, it almost builds up stress in me. I don’t recognize anybody," Provenzano responded.

Tucker recalled the student mentioning that his teacher saw him maskless and failed to recognize who he was, asked him to explain his experience.

"We’re stuck in a classroom while wearing a mask for seven hours a day so she’s never actually seen me or any of my classmates faces before," the fourth grade student explained.

"So when I bumped into her out of school, I said, "Oh, hi." And she's like, "Oh wait, that's you?" And I'm like, "Oh, yeah, that is me." And she's like, "Oh, hi John. I really don't see your face because all I see is just your eyes," Provenzano continued.

After Tucker asked the student why he thinks teachers are making them wear masks, Provenzano said, "Probably to allegedly keep us safe but I just don't see any science behind it."

"I just turned 10-years-old and I am a fourth grader at Felix A. Williams," the student told the school board at an emergency meeting. "I was expecting school to be a little bit different, in the beginning, but I didn't think it would stay this way all year long."

"And I was surprised by the rules. A lot of them didn't make any sense to me, like the fact that we were not allowed to play on the playground or have student council or turn to face each other at lunch. And we also have to wear masks outside at PE and on track."

He slammed the practice of teachers forcing kids to constantly mask, saying that "one teacher walks around with a clipboard full of referrals for any student whose mask isn't on properly. It makes me feel scared." This teacher, he said, keeps her mask down to yell at them for not masking, which makes this student and his friends "very mad."

"This happens a lot," he said. "And it seems unfair that teachers take their masks off while they yell at us kids that we need to pull ours up. I asked my mom if there was a word for this, and she said there is: hypocrisy."
