[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think someone needs to step in to sue to stop implementation until proper studies are made on effects of such a law.  I’m sure that there’s a sympathetic judge somewhere who’s willing to grant an emergency injunction.[/quote]

May I ask you something in all seriousness?  Why do you care so much about this? [/quote]
Lawsuit filed in federal court.  Told ya![/quote]

Can't find anything online. Can you please post a link/source? I would really appreciate it. thank you.[/quote]

All I could find was the Virginia ACLU twitter response that they will amend their complaint. That doesn't provide any proof that a federal lawsuit has been filed.

Anyone have any references on this?[/quote]
What possible basis would there be for a Federal lawsuit? If there is an issue with how this law was passed, and whether it violates the Virginia constitution, that’s purely a case for the courts of the Commonwealth. Federal courts would reject the case for lack of jurisdiction.[/quote]

It's based on the ADA and masks being necessary for making schools accessible to students with certain disabilities. It's a ridiculous argument that is failing everywhere they are trying it. [/quote]
That’s beyond asinine. There is no reasonable interpretation of the ADA that would conclude that it would be a reasonable accommodation to force others to mask to protect vulnerable people. The reasonable accommodation is to allow vulnerable people to continue to wear masks, which is still the case.[/quote]

I agree that the reasonable accodomation is to allow masks optional.[/quote]
Yes, I'd be opposed to a total ban on masks. There is some small percentage of kids with health issues that probably need to continue wearing masks. We should defer to their parents and their doctors. Just like the schools need to give deference to those of us that are comfortable with ending masking. [/quote]
