[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ACLU lawsuit is ridiculous.  The ADA entitles a qualified individual with a disability to an effective accommodation- not the accommodation of their choice.  Prior to filing suit, an individual with a disability has to go through an interactive process to get such an accommodation.  In this lawsuit, the plaintiffs attempt to argue that somehow other students not wearing a cloth mask (which is not a proven effective 'accommodation' in any event) means they are not being accommodated?  It should get tossed out of court immediately.  Now- if the law said no student was allowed to wear a mask, preventing immuno compromised students from wearing a n95 mask themselves, that might get somewhere.  [/quote]

Agree completely. The lawsuit is preposterous. Cloth masks provide very little benefit and one way masking with a high-quality mask is a very effective accommodation. The ACLU jumped the shark with this lunacy, [b]especially when many disabled kids are suffering from mask mandates[/b]. [/quote]

This is what kills me the most about the stupidity of the ACLU lawsuit. Where is the concern for kids with Autism, speech issues, sensory issues, cognitive disabilities, etc. who have struggled with masking? Where was the outcry when children with IEPs lost in-person services last year? The absolute focus on COVID infection as the *only* possible harm that exists in the world is beyond insane to me. Not to mention, they are asking other people to change *their* behavior as an accommodation for someone else. When there is the scientifically proven accommodation of having the immunocompromised person mask. Further, even if cloth masks were more than a facial decoration at this point, I’m not sure you can classify masking of tens and thousands of children across the state to be “reasonable.”[/quote]

Except &lt;5s (not sure if any are plaintiffs in the suit), vaccination would seem to be a good accomodation also? And for any 12+, the emerging preventatives also, assuming their doctors OK.[/quote]
