The national culture war surrounding face masks is far from over. At a nuanced level, this debate pertains to the morality and legality of mandating Americans to cover their faces in public. One of the latest politicians to be sued for issuing a face mask mandate is Oregon Gov. Kate Brown.
Some people are all for mandatory face mask decrees. People with this outlook believe that masking up will save lives and reduce the transmission of COVID-19. Some Americans have even gone as far as pushing for a national face mask mandate. However, President Trump maintains that he will not sign an executive order for a federal mask requirement.
Americans who take issue with face mask mandates are becoming more vocal. At this time, several politicians and health officials who issued face covering requirements are facing lawsuits.
