Two Dallas parents have filed a lawsuit against Dallas Independent School District (DISD) and several administrators, alleging their children faced retaliation for not complying with the district’s 2021 mask mandate. The parents claim staff at George Bannerman Dealey Montessori Academy subjected their fifth- and eighth-grade children to abuse and segregation, despite medical exemptions from the mandate.
A medical group called the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons demanded mask mandates end after studies found masks do not prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection.
