The Supreme Court of Virginia has dismissed a lawsuit brought by parents in Chesapeake over Governor Glenn Youngkin's school masking executive order.
The parents argued the order allowing parents to choose whether their kids wear masks in schools violates a recently-adopted state law. It requires school districts to follow federal pandemic guidelines in an effort to offer in-person instruction.
The state's highest court dismissed the case due to a technicality and didn't rule on the lawfulness of Youngkin's order.
In a statement, Attorney General Jason Miyares called the decision a victory for Virginia families.

Last week, an Arlington County judge did rule in favor of seven school districts challenging the executive order. Youngkin's administration has said it will appeal that decision.

It's amazing how progressives cling to these unpopular mandates, even during an election year.
Fear is a powerful motivator...
For many.
It's amazing how parent's cling to anything that might keep their kids from becoming a Covid statistic, regardless of what year it is.
If you had kids, did you let them ride in cars? Or play outside? Or did you treat them like Howard Hughes?
Did you know that children who died of Covid had pre-existing conditions such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, severe asthma, heart/lung disease? Yes, they did.
I think that many of today's helicopter parents would be utterly shocked to learn that once upon a time cars didn't have seatbelts, 8-year-olds sat in the front passenger seat, and shocker of all ... some of us stood up in the back so we could see out of the front window!
You mean certain parents. Others are concerned about their children being in worthless cotton masks 5 days a week.
And there are some politicians, parents, and non-parents who think that stifling grammar school kids with N95s for 6-7 hours a day will keep everyone safe. /SMH
I am surprised that you of all people would make what appears to be a sweeping generalization about a complicated subject.
Never mind it has nothing to do with my comment.
You appear to be repeating false information previously assumed by Senator Roger Marshall, an MD who should know better.
GOP Senator Dismisses Deaths of 400 Children From COVID After Assuming They All Had 'Underlying Conditions' (thenewcivilrightsmovement.com)
The CDC as late as Aug 2021 did not track pre existing condition for 0-17 year olds.
They did track 0 to 24 pre existing conditions.
and the data does not support your conclusions.

How shocking is it that people of any age group that ended up with lung issues and died of Covid
also had respiratory failure listed as a cause of death?
Seems like, once again, ME's and Coroners put things on death certs or deliberately omit things that skew the CDC data.
COVID-19 in kids: latest data on cases, deaths and hospitalizations (usatoday.com)
700 ish dead and still not tracking pre existing conditions.
The most recent CDC chart shows 200 deaths of infants less than a year old.

I'm guessing they are in the minority.
Like a surgeon or a firefighter?
It apparently has little impact on health or reproduction in all of the countries around the world
that permit it or encourage it for religious, cultural or health reasons.
South Korea & Japan come to mind immediately.
Yeah, can't use common sense and insist kids mask up while in school.
Well, you have a choice. You can either mandate an extreme small annoyance of wearing a mask to protect your children from a deadly pandemic, or you can fake a partisan outrage about that protection.
We can tell what choice right wingers have made.
What type of mask- not all masks are affective. They lied; and continue to lie. Think all kids are wearing custom fitting N95 or KN95 disposable masks? Think all parents can afford them?
Cloth masks have proven not be be effective- but don't let a little thing like science get in the way of fascist principles.
Post that lie, and a link to it please.
I'm trying to find where she even mention "cloth" masks. Since you are referencing that, please show me where. Unless this is just another strawman from you (my guess).
How totalitarian and authoritarian of those Chesapeake parents! Aside from that, those uneducated, brainwashed parents still haven't learned that cloth and paper masks do not prevent anyone of any age from contracting or transmitting the Covid-19 virus and any of its variants.
They can't let a little thing like science and facts get in the way. They need to make sure to take full advantage of this crisis. "Never let a good crisis go to waste" is the Democrat motto.
Democrats and their lemmings aren't done using Covid to get what they want yet.
Wait until the next Covid variant(s) cause more fear-mongering: Lockdowns, masking indoors and outdoors again, wipe down (disinfect) your groceries, and the most politically profitable one ... federalized universal mandatory vote-by-mail without citizenship ID verification.
Those are the only intelligent and truthful words he ever spoke!
And here I thought our Virginia readers would be getting a weather report. Currently Roanoke is chilling out with cloudy skies.
