Joe Biden intends to fight back against anti-mask initiatives. State governors and many of their counterparts at the local level have made masks in schools optional or illegal. Parents across the US have also fought against the school mask mandates. However, Biden is determined to have his way. Team Biden hopes to leverage the Department of Education’s civil rights enforcement to force the mask policy.<\/p>\n
From Newsmax:<\/span><\/p>\n ”The president is appalled, as I am, that there are adults who are blind to their blindness, that there are people who are putting policies in place that are putting students and staff at risk<\/span><\/strong>,” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in an interview on Wednesday.<\/p>\n ”At the end of the da<\/span><\/strong>y,” he said, ”we shouldn’t be having this conversation. What we’re dealing with now is negligence<\/span><\/strong>.”<\/p>\n Cardona said he was spurred to after having conversations with parents of children with autism, respiratory illness or weak immune systems, ”who rely on school for socialization and the important building blocks of learning.”<\/p>\n ”I’ve heard those parents, saying ‘Miguel, because of these policies, my child cannot access their school, I would be putting them in harm’s way<\/strong><\/span>,” Cardona said. ”And to me, that goes against a free appropriate public education. That goes against of the fundamental beliefs of educators across the country to protect their students and provide a well-rounded education.<\/span><\/strong>”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Newsmax has the full story<\/a>, as well to the link to the New York Time’s story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
