Kevin McCarthy: If Democrats ‘Trusted the Science’, They Would Have Voted for Ashley Hinson Bill to Unmask Kids in SchoolBreitbart, Feb 8, 2022
House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement on Tuesday that if Democrats truly “trusted the science,” they would have voted for Rep. Ashley Hinson’s (R-IA) bill to unmask children in school.
House Republicans offered a motion to defeat the previous question on H. Res. 912, a bill to enhance the U.S. Postal Service. If the House passed Republicans’ motion, they would have the House consider Hinson’s legislation, the Unmask Our Kids Act, or H.R. 6619. Hinson’s bill would:
* Block local education agencies from receiving Department of Education funding unless:
* Schools are open for in-person learning
* School mask mandates allow parents to opt-out on behalf of their children
Two-hundred and twenty-one Democrats blocked the Republican motion that would have ensured that children can receive in-person learning and do not have to be forced to wear masks in school.
