Missouri AG Schmitt files anti-mask lawsuits against school districts

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed lawsuits on Friday against more than 35 school districts he said were illegally instating health policies.

Schmitt tweeted links to suits filed against the school districts, including Francis Howell, St. Louis Public Schools, Columbia Public, Kansas City, Rockwood and Fort Zumwalt.

The suits allege that school districts do not have the authority to impose public health orders for children. Several parents within the districts are named as plaintiffs in the suits that were filed in the counties where the school districts are located.

The lawsuits are part of Schmitt’s ongoing effort to force Missouri schools to drop mask mandates and other COVID-19 mitigation policies. Schmitt is a Republican running for U.S. Senate.

Only a loser attacks children and old folks. Yeah, this asshole is also filing lawsuits against nursing homes for having mask requirements. Then, he’s gonna run for US Senate.

I think he needs more negative press.

is the product of conservative ideology which states "It is all about me". It started with Reagan and Trump put it on steroids.
