Funny thing is, they don’t want to seem to take on Texas and Florida. I wonder why? Could it be that those states have a lot more pull, a lot more ability to defend themselves? Or, could it be that those governors will fight back very, very hard, and they could be candidates for president in 2024?
Biden Administration Launches Civil-Rights Probes against Five States over Mask-Mandate Bans
After President Biden gave the cue to Education Secretary Cardona, the Department of Education has launched civil-rights probes against five Republican-led states that banned mask mandates in public institutions.
“The Department has heard from parents from across the country – particularly parents of students with disabilities and with underlying medical conditions – about how state bans on universal indoor masking are putting their children at risk and preventing them from accessing in-person learning equally,†Cardona said in a press release.
OCR will investigate whether the states in question have violated Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which deal with discrimination.
The department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) sent letters to education leaders in Oklahoma, South Carolina, Iowa, Tennessee, and Utah. The recipients did not include Florida or Texas, whose governors have been battling school districts in their states over mask requirements for weeks. However, the agency said it is “closely monitoring†the conduct of those states and is prepared to take action against them if warranted.
So, basically, the Sleepy Joe admin looked for any tiny little reason available, all in an attempt to force states to comply with what is a CDC suggestion, not anything allowed by law. Nothing that has been passed by law, because there is still a 10th Amendment, and the power to force kids to wear a mask is not specifically delegated to the federal government.
Does anyone think it’s rather ironic that this is a civil rights investigation to force children to wear a mask (which mostly doesn’t work)?
(KOKO) Gov. Kevin Stitt’s office had a direct suggestion for President Joe Biden and his administration after the U.S. Education Department announced its investigation into five states, including Oklahoma, with universal mask mandate bans in schools.
“Until every American citizen is safely out of Afghanistan, President Biden shouldn’t spend a single second harassing states like Oklahoma for protecting parents’ rights to make health decisions for their kids,” Carly Atchison, communications director for Stitt’s office, told KOCO 5 in an email.
There are still at least a couple hundred Americans left in Afghanistan, along with Afghanies who wanted to get out after working with the US and other nations, and a huge number of military working dogs, which Biden just left to be taken.
Oklahoma’s new law, Senate Bill 658, prevents school districts from issuing mask or COVID-19 vaccine mandates unless the governor issues a state of emergency. Some districts have defied the law by issuing mask mandates, while others have recommended that students and staff wear masks.
Unlike the federal government, Oklahoma passed a law. People can wear masks to their hearts content, but, schools, for one, cannot force kids to wear them. That’s up to them and their parents. Federal laws, heck, all laws, should be targeted and specific, not open to whatever interpretation they want that’s convenient for the political beliefs of those in office. Especially since Joe, Jen Psaki, and so many others in the Biden admin often fail to wear masks despite Joe’s executive order regarding wearing them while in federal buildings.

But, see, we have to force children to wear mostly useless mask while the Elites blow off the rules.
CDC: Unvaccinated, unmasked teacher caused community-wide outbreak in California
An unvaccinated elementary school teacher in California infected more than half of her students with COVID-19, ultimately resulting in a community-wide outbreak in Marin County, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.
Haven’t The People In Charge been telling us that masks stop us from getting COVID? Kids in California are required to wear masks. Shouldn’t the masks have stopped this? No? Huh.
The ban on mask mandates does not prohibit any individual student from wearing a mask, nor does it prohibit any age-eligible student from getting vaccinated. One would think that, if masks are effective, if the vaccine is really a vaccine, the left wouldn’t care if other people choose differently. After all, the masked up left would be protected, right?
No Dana you must be misinformed
Neither the masks nor tge vaccines are 100% effective
Who told you that ?
Just as deaths are not 100% effective at stopping injuries tgecsame is true if masks and vaccines
So please continue to use both masks and seat belts to avoid increasing risk to others including first responders
Remember the first rule of i was taught for first responders is DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM
“Just as deaths are not 100% effective at stopping injuries ”
Actually death is 100% effective at stopping injuries.
“So please continue to use both masks and seat belts to avoid increasing risk to others including first responders
If we want to avoid increasing risks to others STAY HOME.
“Remember the first rule of i was taught for first responders is DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM”
And yet you already are a victim. You are a victim to all the bullshit tyrannical government, big pharma and most of all the fake news media has thrown at you for the last almost 2 years. There is so much bad information, contradictory information and false information circulating by panic stricken Karens and political operatives finding the truth is a fools errand at this point. They want to scare the shit out of everybody to get then to obey and comply the next time they want to limit our freedoms. Which should be right around the next “election”.
Hairy, you haven’t thought on your own since Clinton convinced you it only matters what “is” is.
So the idiot nuCon gov of OK wants to tie mask wearing to getting all Americans out of Afghanistan.
More children died last year of Covid than Americans died in Afghanistan.
And how many soldier’s lives is Teach willing to risk rounding up service dogs in Afghanistan? (Note: It turns out the nuCon blogger was lying about the service dogs).
nuConism or tRumpism is a death cult.
