Texas AG Paxton announces the state is suing at least 6 school districts that defied Gov. Abbott's order prohibiting mask mandates at public schools.

recommends mask usage in indoor public spaces for unvaccinated Americans 2 and older. Covid-19 vaccines have yet to be approved for children younger than 12. But the CDC says even those who are vaccinated should wear masks in indoor public spaces in areas with high Covid-19 transmission.

Jodi Duron, superintendent of the Elgin Independent School District outside Austin, said she can't comment on Paxton's suit because the district has not received a copy. But she said by email that the district"continues to comply with "Right now, local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs," he said."Talk about bullying in schools. If they’ll not help — if these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my power as President to get them out of the way.

This is fascism.

Punishing a school for trying to protect children from a deadly disease. This is Anti-Life.

They will stop the first time someone sues for wrongful death w/ negligent homocide as a kicker.

What a constant waste of money! Could be better used to save lives & better schools! When does this Republican-created & led foolishness end? Trump lost! He s/be no hero to anyone! Vaccines are free & save lives! Masks protect unvaccinated children! Mandates are necessary!👠

More specifically more dying ppl children included Philippines 🇵🇭 haven't been in school 2 yrs now and only 35k dead not close to 600 thousand.

Praxton is just another white collar criminal pretending he represents Texas.

Paxton is living proof that evolution isn’t always in a positive direction. He’s Martin Bormann in cowboy boots

Talk about dictatorship. Schools and communities should do what is best for them. Keep politics out of it.

Interesting how Paxton and Abbott are will to throw people including children under the bus for political partisan reasons…

Great do that no judge will go down in history abandoning elementary children, kindergartens 5 and up age trashing CDC GUIDANCE FOR A DAM POLITICIAN..No judge will join hands on a killing spree of children..

I think the feds need to stop withholding funds from the state, if they want to save children lives. Hit them in their pockets.

America knows GovAbbott is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But this is All part of the new GOP GOPLiesAboutEverything Including the insurrection on Jan6

😂😂😂😂😂🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

It's getting close to winter. Do we except another last years winter? Shouldn't you be focusing on that?

They are the Republican Taliban. Lives mean nothing to them, unless you are a Zygot or Fetus.

why not just allow them to decide what's best for them. at least we'd get more data. the emo is strong these days.

What a colossal waste of taxpayer money being used to sue the taxpayers who want to protect children.

This is so stupid. All everyone does is sue. These politicians don’t care about their state. It’s all politics!

That is one dedicated murderer.

Texazz

You forgot the best part. The reason they are all doing this is because they make a ton of money off of it. They cause human suffering and then are fundraising off of it.

This makes sense. The state sues schools getting tax money back that the state allocated to them. Like a rebate!!

“We’re so pro-life, we’re working extra hard to make sure kids catch a deadly disease!” Once again, proving they don't care about lives if they already born, only the ones that force women to carry pregnancies & give birth. Sound about right, KenPaxtonTX?

Disgusting

Texas and Florida are shit stains on society

They continue to rip apart the country with their own form of politics...

The people of Texas should sue you and Abbott for causing harm to their children

Texas is gilead. Backwards hick state

Nice going, Texas Why not make a stand for killing your children 🤬🤬🤬

Go a head sir, that is a good move, healthy of our kids, first priority. 😏

How could a parent tolerate politicians actively trying to harm and kill their children?

Those kids should be able to wear a mask without some grown up interfering

When are they going to realize their own GOP voters are dying and they need them to stay in power. For the love of their own self preservation, do the right thing

morgfair Isn’t the son of a bitch under indictment for some shady dealings during the 2020 election?

🙄🙄😩

Make sure they serve Jail time if convicted!!

Lawyers getting richer Is this a diversion from what they are NOT doing

A) did you get vaccinate B) do you wear mask Hope your answers are no if not your suits have no leg to balance on

Texas! Stop electing these awful people!

Despicable

Parents should jointly sue the government for putting students at risk.

More tax dollar funded bullshit lawsuits. Paid AG Covid killer!

Criminal AG acts like a fascist

This is absurd Kids are dying!

Republicans are the new Taliban they have lost there minds

Authoritarian, patriarchal rule on full display in Texas.

bfry1981 What a waste of tax dollars

Texas has lost their blessed mind they really are a death cult these days and will Sue to enforce it I guess GOPDeathCult

What does it harm Paxton and his ilk if people wear masks. I sometimes smh as to why these men think they are cut out for public service.

In these modern times we often say, of criminals & sociopaths, they must be mentally ill but in reality evil does exist . those who willfully put others in harms way for personal ambition and gain, they are the personification of evil.

So when is KenPaxtonTX going to federal prison? I mean shouldn’t he be busy working on his defense instead of filing frivolous lawsuits suits?

The GOPDeathCult strikes yet again - after all, they got a quota to their death god to fill & masks & vaccines keep them from accomplishing that. Their death god now wants as many children as possible & the GQP is going to see them in their graves asap.

Why isn’t this guy in jail yet?

Those sixth districts will countersued the A.G..

The state suing its own school districts for striving for safety of children and staff (wtf) also banned abortion and allows bounties on women. Smfh handmaidstale

What a waste of time and energy! While NOT protecting the public health.

… G O P IS TAKING …. P L E A S U R E …. 👹 H U R T I N G OUR 👹 C H I L D R E N 🙏🙏 WHY !! WHY !!🙏

Can’t believe this! Where has common sense gone?

GregAbbott_TX KenPaxtonTX are pro virus

🇺🇸 On 9/11 let us pause as Republicans allow domestic terrorism to flourish in America on January 6 and upcoming again on September 18, 2021.

This gigantic gas bag should be in jail

59,000 Texans killed so far by Abbott's and Paxton's disregard for human life. At least there's no more rape in Texas.

Isn’t this what they’d call “big government interfering in local affairs”?

Pretend the governor helped with an abortion because he wouldnt provide financial assistance to the mother. Go.

What is Abbott and Paxton approval rating? Sounds like a dictatorship running this state.

monsters

thomaskaine5 and them-thar christian-repubs just love it. He'll get re-elected.

WTF is wrong with these people?

That wheelchair Justin fix all of Greg Abbott's disability if you needed jog a little bit faster the tree wouldn't have fallen on him it must have hit his head intelligence we're severely Disturbed anybody that wants to kill kids has to be disturbed.🙄🙄🙄

glennkirschner2 what say you?

Idiot

thomaskaine5 I wish I believed in Hell. I wish I believed in Hell. I wish I believed in Hell. I wish I believed in Hell. I wish I believed in Hell. Abbott and Paxton can hang out there together.

Playing politics not facing reality Licking GovAbbott's bunghole is spreading the disease of hate Spreading hate results in kids deaths Spreading the disease of hate results not only in the death of people & the souls of the religious Spreading hate kills the TexasEconomy

Central Texas school districts without mask mandates have more COVID-19 cases, data shows AbbottHatesChildren

But muh freedoms....

All this fucking tax payer money being flushed down the toilet on these mask related suits is criminal. How many people could be fed, clothed, given medical treatment, given housing, etc., etc., etc., I never want to hear “we can’t afford to do…” again. Fucking over this BS.

What kind of apartheid state sues it’s Independent (citizens) School District for trying to protect their kids… this is a state you should be careful living in

Just a reminder that Texas Attorney General KenPaxtonTX is under indictment for securities fraud.
