Yesterday The Epoch Times<\/a> reported that the Biden administration is threatening legal action against governors who ban school mask mandates.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Governors who ban school mask mandates could face legal action from the federal government, President Joe Biden<\/a> warned on Aug. 18.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden stated that he was directing Education Secretary Miguel Cardona \u201cto take additional steps to protect our children.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis includes using his oversight authority and legal action, if appropriate, against governors trying to block and intimidate local school officials and educators,\u201d Biden said in remarks at the White House.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re not going to sit by as governors try to block and intimidate educators protecting our children.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an example, he said the federal government may use money from the American Rescue Plan to pay an educator who has their salary cut by a governor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to say a lot more about children in schools next week that as we head into the school year remember this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, says masks are critical, especially for those not yet vaccinated, like our children under the age of 12,\u201d Biden said. \u201cSo let\u2019s put politics aside. Let\u2019s follow the educators and scientists, who know a lot more about how to teach our children and keep them safe than any politician. This administration is always going to take the side of our children.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much of the science does not support either masks or vaccinations for children. Also, the federal government constitutionally has no role in education–that is up to the states. (However, we have ignored that for so long, I don’t know if we can get control back to the states.)<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

After Biden\u2019s threat, Christina Pushaw, press secretary for DeSantis, told The Epoch Times via email that \u201cthe forced-maskers often criticize Governor DeSantis for overruling \u2018local control\u2019 to protect parents\u2019 freedom to make health and education decisions for their own children.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI doubt they will apply the same principle to this blatant federal overreach,\u201d she said. \u201cCDC bureaucrats and their politicized \u2018guidance\u2019\u2014which does not have the force of law\u2014shouldn\u2019t interfere with parents\u2019 rights, which are protected under Florida law. Governor DeSantis will continue to stand up for Florida families and defend our rights, no matter what the Biden administration attempts to do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This threat is aimed at Governor DeSantis. The Democrats are desperately looking for a political victory somewhere and are throwing mud against any wall they can find. Governor DeSantis will probably have a place on the Republican presidential ticket in 2024, and the Democrats would like to remove him from the picture before then. They have done similar things with candidates in the past and will continue until people wake up to what they are doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
