Biden’s Education Department to Target Governors for ‘Civil Rights’ Violations for Banning School Mask MandatesAshley Oliver 18 Aug 2021
Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona will continue targeting governors who have fought back against school mask mandates, warning Wednesday he plans to conduct “civil rights investigations” and take possible legal action against states with bans or limitations on the mandates.
Cardona said he finds it “astonishing” that some states — such as Florida and Texas — are defying the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) mask guidance and that those states could be violating some students’ right to education by creating unsafe learning conditions, according to the New York Times.
“The fact that they’re not adjusting based on the illness, and the outcry from medical experts, is astonishing,” Cardona told the Times. “But we cannot sit around. We have to do everything in our power, including civil rights investigations and even referring matters to the Department of Justice for enforcement if necessary.”
The CDC, per its most updated coronavirus guidance, recommends all teachers and students wear a mask in K–12 schools regardless of vaccination status. The agency cites “new evidence” about the Delta variant as the reason for its mask recommendation.
