The civil rights division of the Justice Department is threatening to sue five Republican states – Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah — for voting to ban mask mandates.
The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department is investigating the states even though the states have a right to vote and pass public health laws. The states don’t want the children to be forced to wear masks.
The states want children’s civil rights protected and the civil rights division is trying to claim that it’s a violation of their civil rights by not forcing them to wear masks.
It’s bizarre.
If a parent wants your child to wear a mask in school, that child can. There’s no ban on mask-wearing. There’s a ban on mandates.
The whole thing is bogus.
Florida has a large number of people with COV so Governor DeSantis signed an executive order on July 30th saying schools cannot mandate students wear masks. That’s allegedly illegal, but you can wear a mask if you want to wear one.
A month later, a Florida judge, John Cooper, said the executive order by DeSantis is illegal. The judge claimed it’s not within his authority and it’s unconstitutional according to the Florida Constitution.
The Florida education commissioner of Florida, Richard Corcoran, says he’s not going to obey the judge.
Richard Corcoran is withholding money from two districts — Alachua and Broward — for refusing to comply and stop mandating the wearing of masks.
Now, Richard Corcoran is going to be criminally charged, not the governor, because he is the one who is defying the judge’s order.
That’s it for now.

The Federal government is REALLY bad and corrupt. The DOJ is one of the worst organizations in the government. It’s very name has become Newspeak. Might at well start calling it the Ministry of Love.
The DOJ can do as it wants, because it will, however, just to be clear, the Federal Government cannot create a law against this, and this is a State authority, so, DOJ is basically wasting taxpayer money for a frivolous lawsuit, seeing as the only thing the State is doing is preventing coercion by masking, however, individual choices are not banned. As for Florida…again….a State issue.
Doj, feel free to withhold State funds (because States really should be on their own as far as funds go), however, the DOJ has to also remember those withheld funds can only apply to the subject matter attached…for instance…the doj cannot withhold infrastructure highway money if a State refuses to obey federal gun control laws.
COVID has become total political. There is no science when Democrats are in Charge. European Studies and a hundred years of Military research clearly show that Masks are useless against a virus. Then there is the issue of the Vaccines themselves. All indications are that we have “leaky” vaccines, but any real scientist is shut up when he brings up the issue. If the vaccine is in deed “leaky”, it is causing more harm than good because it is causing mutations. It’s the same issue we had a few decades ago with the over use of antibiotics. The result was super bugs. It may be a good thing that half the country is not getting the Vaccine and looking at going for the real thing – Natural Immunity. The problem is Democrat Politics and their desire to be Tyrants is getting in the way of good medicine. Government should be completely out of the Medical system; one size fits none Medicine is very dangerous and one size fits none is what you get when the Government “centralizes” and controls medical care and drugs.
The DOJ needs a new name because the “Justice” doesn’t apply any more. And judging by their actions to force children to wear masks, their civil rights division should not even exist because they obviously don’t know what civil rights are.
I call them the ‘Department of Just Us’.
It looks like China Joe’s wingman is also becoming his enforcer.
