Dallas ISD to keep mask mandate in place despite Texas Supreme Court ruling

DALLAS - Dallas ISD's superintendent said the school district will keep its mask mandate in place despite the Texas Supreme Court ruling that temporarily blocked Dallas County's mask mandate.

Dr. Michael Hinojosa said he made this decision after consulting with lawyers and they determined the stay order issued by the Texas Supreme Court Sunday was for Dallas County, but did not mention Dallas ISD.

He said he’s going to remain firm and enforce the mask mandate until he’s taken to court.

Other Dallas County school districts, Garland, Irving and Mesquite, said they will not have mask mandates in place, and will instead encourage everyone to wear masks in their schools.

These decisions come after the Republican-controlled Texas Supreme Court sided with Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton by issuing a stay order in the legal battle over mask mandates in Texas.

It stopped mask mandates in Dallas County and Bexar County until the cases can be heard at a later date.

"We are going to continue with the mask mandate at this time," Dr. Hinojosa said.

The superintendent revealed he’s not backing down with his district’s mask mandate as thousands head back to the classroom Monday.

"The order that was issued by the Supreme Court was issued to Dallas County and it’s listed as Clay Jenkins and the county. It did not say one word about DISD in that order," Hinojosa said.

Weird reasoning. Yes, the Supremes made a statewide ruling but they didn’t mention us by name.

“No rule of law anymore.”

Gregg Abbott has shown a willingness to enforce his mandates. I would not be surprised if the DISD gets taken down.

Parents should swarm the Board of Education Building. We see how it worked for the Taliban. Just take it over. Alert parents on WhatsApp to walk their kids in unmasked. Have mask burnings at all Middle and High Schools.

It is long past time for Gov. Abbott to deploy the Texas National Guard. However RINO Abbott will just flap his mangina lips instead of forcing the teachers unions to follow the law.

Governor Abbot is a giant weeping va-jay-jay.

“They did not mention us by name.” The Texas Supreme Court specified Dallas County. What kind of word games are these lunatics playing?

*****

Progressives do this all the time. Reason, logic, coherence, principles, values, ideals, and tradition mean nothing.

You decide what you want and you rationalize, using elements of these things, to form the best sounding argument you can, then you do what you want.

I hope you realize that Texas law regarding speeding on the highway does not specifically name me, so guess I can speed!
