"I welcome the mandate you may ultimately decide on," Jackson Lee said."It will be the board's decision, but I hope that that will be the case. And if it is, I will say to you that you are doing the right thing."

Yeah, how dare those school districts put protecting those kids and keeping them healthy above politics and what might be the easy way. Clearly legal action is needed to stop that kind of insanity. Straight buster!

Shouldn’t someone who claims to be in favour of “small government” allow local school boards to make the decision? What a hypocrite

Put Abbott in prison to save your lives.

Hasn’t thought this through. Will definitely be paying for it with his job.

Bet he loses. Judges always support public safety when the plaintiff cannot show it is harmed by the defendant doing so.

If one person dies....Abbot should be brought up on murder charges

Arrest him

Good for the people in Houston!

Is that consistent with Communism or Anarchism?

Such a odd hill for him and his supporters to literally die on. Why not just let local communities decide. He’s only going to kill his supporters.

If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. The governor isn't stopping you from doing anything other than sending kids home for not wearing masks.

Let him. It will bite him in the ass.

All fine. His mask will be over his eyes in due..

You know what he can do w himself! He is guilty of conspiring to commit manslaughter, if not murder.

So what's next Abbott? Being against arresting school shooters because it violates their second amendment rights?

Guys, guess that power grid is not getting fixed. Gotta sue or citizens.

The schools should sue Greg Abbott back! « Œil pour œil et dents pour dents »
