Biden says he plans to take ‘legal action’ against states that resist school mask mandates

The New York Times reported late Wednesday that President Joe Biden is planning on “taking possible legal action” against states where governors are resisting mask mandates in schools.

NYT reported, “President Biden, escalating his fight with Republican governors who are blocking local school districts from requiring masks to protect against the coronavirus, said Wednesday that his Education Department to would use its broad powers — including taking possible legal action — to deter states from barring universal masking in classrooms.”

“Mr. Biden said he directed Miguel Cardona, his education secretary, ‘to take additional steps to protect our children,’ including against governors who he said are ‘setting a dangerous tone’ in issuing executive orders banning masks mandates and have threatened to penalize school officials who defy them…”

NYT added, “Dr. Cardona said he would deploy the Education Department’s civil rights enforcement arm to investigate states that block universal masking.”

We have a Constitution. We have a Tenth Amendment that states clearly that powers not outlined in the Constitution as belonging to the federal government remain with the states.

Get ready for a fight, Joe.
