A federal judge has ruled that an executive order and new Virginia law allowing parents to opt their children out of classroom COVID-19 mask mandates
A federal judge issued an injunction on Wednesday instructing the state not to enforce - in certain districts where parents of 12 students with health problems filed a federal lawsuit
A federal judge says 12 Virginia schoolchildren who are particularly vulnerable to getting sick from COVID-19 can seek a “reasonable accommodation” such as requiring their classmates to wear masks
These students' health conditions, which include cancer, cystic fibrosis, asthma, Down syndrome, lung conditions, and weakened immune systems, make them particularly vulnerable to COVID-19.
The plaintiffs in the case are the parents of 12 children who have disabilities that put them at risk should they contract COVID-19.
