Californians who are vaccinated will no longer have to wear masks inside come February 15, however the new rule will not include students and faculty at K-12 schools.
A security official for Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia directed principals to obtain a warrant from a magistrate if students attempted to enter the school without wearing a mask, the latest escalation in the commonwealth's mask wars.
The fight over masking Virginia’s school children will go on for at least a while longer. On Friday a judge in Virginia sided with pro-mask mandate school boards, and halted temporarily an executive order issued by new Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin that makes masks optional in schools.
A Virginia mother delivered a rousing speech where she blasted her child's school board over its mask mandate that she deemed to be "blatant political theater."
Elliot Tommingo, director of the Washington, DC Mayor’s Office of Veterans Affairs, said it is a “necessary evil” to allow ‘Darwinism to kill off” unvaccinated Americans, blaming them for the city’s coercive mandates, deeming them “foolish,” and accusing them of eating horse dewormer and “their own piss.”
Virginia’s governor, attorney general, and the superintendent of public instruction have asked to join a lawsuit on behalf of parents fighting to opt their children out of mask mandates at school.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom stopped short on Monday of admitting that he made a mistake after he was caught, once again, not abiding by COVID-19 rules.
