Paxton shared a similar message also. The Texas attorney general mentioned in a public statement that previous “attention-grabbing” mayors and judges have attempted to override executive orders, only to be ruled against in court.
Shortly thereafter, Paxton confirmed that he believes the courts will once again side with the state of Texas and its executive orders on the issues of government entities and mask mandates. Thus far, school districts in Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and Houston plan to implement mask mandates, despite the governor’s order.
Pushback against forced masking in schools
Republicans are largely supportive of parents who want the choice to determine if their kids wear masks in schools. There are concerns about government overreach and the social ramifications of kids having to wear masks.
Democrats, however, are largely in favor of schools forcing masks on kids. Leftists seem to have no regard for parents who believe this is a decision that each parent should make for their own kids.
