States, Feds Face Off Over School Mask Policies

It remains to be seen what repercussions districts face and what if any steps the U.S. Department of Education takes.

Kids are heading back to class across the country, learning in person this year. But COVID-19 is forcing some students to quarantine, and others to close school doors.  This all comes as a handful of states go against CDC guidance for universal masking, and the federal government threatens to step in.  "I have no problem if you wear your mask and if you want to stay home because you're scared. Please do so. That is your right and your choice, and I would like the same choice for my child," said parent Megan Collins.
