I told my 1st grader yesterday, that he doesn't have to wear a mask if he doesn't want to. And that he only has to put one on, if a teacher makes him. My son's Catholic school has been easing their initial mandates, which makes them purely nonsensical at this point. They dont' have to wear them while they are outside. But never specifically states to wear them inside. No masks during lunch, just when walking around. I don't even know the rules anymore because they are so all over the place.

What is the situation was reversed? What if the state government was mandating mask mandates, and a school district didn't want them?
I don't think you get to pick and choose just based on the issue
I choose the same way. Whichever entity provides me more freedom. In your hypothetical, I choose the school district.
I don't like govt overreach. And in some weird convoluted way, the state govt stepping in is being used to prevent local govt overreach.
In a perfect world the school district wouldn't be made up of political hacks and they would have settled on a science based decision, no masks for children.
But I think where we do agree... as a whole should governance be pushed down to the most local level possible.

Good to know that Judges write political opinions. Especially ones directly contradictory to the Executive office.

If it's a law, and not an EO, then send in the state police to deal with it.
No need to cut funding or make up insubordination claims.
But I disagreed with the state mandate (or prevention of mandates I guess) to begin with. I still think these decisions should be made on a local level.
And if the heavily democrat Dallas ISD wants masks... knock themselves out.
What Abbott's EO does is to prevent the tyranny of school districts over the wishes of parents. Period.
You start with parents and work your way up from there.

Yep. Students go to school without mask. Let them send them home. File lawsuit depriving of right to education.

That ring unfortunately is getting larger and larger as Dallas infects the surrounding cities.

Proud is absolutely not the word I would use. Not even close. More like the opposite.

So in Texas, the County Judge isn't a judge... he is basically the parish president...

1) I'm willing to bet a majority of Dallas ISD parents (to the extent these kids even have parents who care) support a mask policy.
2) There are other ways to accomplish this without state heavy-handedness.
I agree that parents ultimately should make the decision for their kids. You also should recognize - and this is going to sound very egotistical of me - but a lot of the "parents" in that school district aren't as enlightened as perhaps you and I are.

You don’t have a spine. Sad.

It's the opposite. My spine doesn't bend to the whims of the issue at hand.
