School Mask Wars Ensue.
School districts in states with right wing governors continue to defy laws against mask mandates. (The Hill)
“School districts at the epicenter of a summer surge in coronavirus cases are ordering students and staff to wear masks to stem the pandemic’s spread, in open defiance of Republican governors who have attempted to bar them from imposing new restrictions.
Districts in Florida, Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona are among those imposing new bans as the school year gets underway. The chief administrators in many of those districts say the mandates are necessary to avoid a repeat of last year’s disastrous start to the school season, when thousands of American schools closed and millions of children stayed home.”
Schools in Red States, primarily in big left leaning Blue cities, are defying their Governors to enact school mask mandates to ensure the safety of educators and school children alike. The mask mandate is a very productive and simple way to keep the Covid-19 variant from spreading around the classrooms. Unfortunately, the mandates are now completely settled in the political realm and divorced from scientific realities and cold hard facts. That is a shame.
