Biden Regime Investigating Republican States Preventing Mask Mandates In Schools – “Discrimination”
Joe Biden asked Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to investigate Republican states that have banned mask mandates in schools.
The Associated Press reported that this investigation aims to determine if allowing mask freedom is a violation of students’ right to a free, public education.
The Education Department announced Monday that it’s investigating five Republican-led states that have banned mask requirements in schools, saying the policies could amount to discrimination against students with disabilities or health conditions.
The department’s Office for Civil Rights sent letters to education chiefs in Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah. Those states have barred schools from requiring masks among all students and staff, a move that the department says could prevent some students from safely attending school.
