Stay away from Marxist indoctrination centers, where mediocrity and self-worship are sown with a vengeance.

If your School mandats masks in Texas, vote with your feet and move to a district that doesn’t.

It has gotten to the place where the lower courts can no longer decide anything, but every case must go to the Supreme Court now.

And useless masks pose even graver dangers for an even larger segment of children with disabilities such as asthma, children for whom mask requirements would harm.

[Four letter words for the judge redacted,]

Ironic as a PA judges threw out the governor’s mask mandate in that state earlier today: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4011573/posts

Does this only apply to kids with disabilities.

AVerage kids don’t have the PRESSING NEED that disabled kids have. And vaccines may make them sick.

Unless there was a ruling the past hour, i believe the exact opposite happened in Pennsylvania: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4011573/posts

“The spread of COVID-19 poses an even greater risk for children with special health needs,” Yeakel said. “Children with certain underlying conditions who contract COVID-19 are more likely to experience severe acute biological effects and to require admission to a hospital and the hospital’s intensive-care unit.”

So the judge’s ruling is not based on law rather his personal medical opinion.

The ADA and ... COVID masks?

What’s the connection? If you can’t have everyone around you wearing a mask then you are disabled?

Even if a mandate is prohibited, each person can still choose to wear a mask if they like.

This is a stretch even for the federales.

They should bring the scienctific studies showing masks are nearly worthless.

This is very bad news for those of us fighting for mask optional K-12 schools and colleges. This decision is like CA and public schools and peanut butter—if even one child is allergic to peanut butter, then it must be completely banned and no one can eat peanut butter in school. Now, it is breathing freely and smiling that must be banned.

If this kind of decision holds, I see no way out of mask mandates indefinitely in schools. One parent will complain about her child with comorbidities who “might” get covid—for years to come—and the masks will stay on.

Very depressing. What about those children who can’t learn English or a foreign language in school due to the masks? The speech delays? The depression, tooth decay, acne? The inability to flirt and smile and talk in high school?

Awful decision.

No - get rid of the school boards and faculty who do. It's a much cheaper option than moving, the work more rewarding.
