The Texas Supreme Court struck down a mask mandate within San Antonio's school districts Thursday, the latest rejection of a local mandate in the state as debates rage over how to keep students and educators safe while returning to in-person instruction.
Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have both been vocal against mask mandates within their state, even as several counties have attempted unsuccessfully to appeal the governor's May 18 executive order banning mask mandates in school districts, among other places.
"If your kids’ public schools are still requiring masks, email maskmandate@oag.texas.gov," Paxton tweeted . "They are wasting your tax dollars dragging everyone into litigation!".
San Antonio's failure to mount a successful legal challenge to the executive order is the latest in a string of defeats for counties resisting the directive. Dallas and Bexar counties took the governor's order to court earlier this month, but both were blocked from mandating masks by the Texas Supreme Court......snip~
