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.

The next step is for the parents of a child with chronic breathing difficulties to get a mask requirement overturned under the same legal arguments through the ADA.

We are living through the Tower of Babel v2.0.

Yet another bastardization of law by Congress and a Bush. The ADA like so much legislation isn’t spelled out precisely leaving room for interpretation by courts and bureaucrats.

Hopefully, the 5th circuit uses logic and slaps this ruling down.
