A federal judge has ruled that Texas' ban on mask mandates in schools violates the Americans with Disabilities Act
A federal judge has ruled that Texas' ban on mask mandates in schools violates the Americans with Disabilities Act, according to court documents filed Wednesday in US District Court for the Western District of Texas.
The ruling follows months of clashes between state and local leaders over mask mandates in schools -- not just in Texas, but across the country. Similar mandates became the topic of heated debates earlier this year as the Delta variant sent Covid-19 case numbers surging once again and schools across the United States began to reopen while many students were still ineligible for a vaccine.
