Amid Afghanistan chaos, Biden asks for 'legal actions' against governors who ban mask mandates
Fox News
President Biden on Wednesday said he's asking Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to go after states with bans on mask mandates in schools, up to and including taking "legal action" against them, even as a crisis rages on in Afghanistan.
"Today, I am directing the Secretary of Education – an educator himself – to take additional steps to protect our children," Biden said in remarks at the White House, after which he did not take questions on Afghanistan. "This includes using all of his oversight authorities and legal actions, if appropriate, against governors who are trying to block and intimidate local school officials and educators." "As I’ve said before, if you aren’t going to fight COVID-19, at least get out of the way of everyone else who is trying," Biden added. "We're not going to sit by as governors try to block and intimidate educators protecting our children."
