It looks like conservative US politics. COVIDIOCY!
In Florida and Texas Repug governors have forbidden mandating masks in public schools— “smack”wits!
It gets better! In the state whose capital was the SECOND to be occupied by Union forces in the Civil War a sensible Governor is being opposed by COVIDIOTS:
Quote:Louisiana remains the number one state in the country for new COVID diagnoses per capita, according to the latest data released on August 16. Louisiana’s Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards warned that while the state’s dubious distinction has led to an upswing in people getting vaccinated, it is doing little to quell push-back against a temporary mask mandate he put in place on August 4 that includes mask requirements in public schools.
He added that the majority of people hospitalized and dying from COVID-19 across the state were not vaccinated.
The state’s Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry meanwhile continues to push back against the governor’s latest regulations put in place to stem rising COVID cases while hospital officials say the state’s healthcare system is on the verge of being overwhelmed.
The Baton Rouge Advocate reported that Landry advised his employees in an email that they could use state laws to claim either a religious or philosophical objection to the mask mandate for students — and to a vaccine if one is required.
Landry also issued an opinion stating that the Louisiana State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) should instead be the one setting rules governing COVID-19 safety protocols like mask requirements, challenging the governor’s authority to set his own rules.
