Mississippi parents demand governor ban mask mandates after superintendent overrules school board
Fox News
Former Trump-era Environmental Protection Agency chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara and other parents are organizing to petition Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves to sign an executive order banning mask mandates in the state, similar to Texas and other states.
"We are asking the Governor of the state to step up and protect the citizens of this state from local officials using COVID as a mechanism for control rather than figuring out the best, most informed path for protection," Gunasekara told Fox News in a Monday email. The group, Mississippians for Mask Choice, is sending around an email blasting the governor for remaining "silent and passive relative to the incremental and systematic erosion of our personal and parental liberties" in the face of mask mandates.More Related News
