Gov. Greg Abbott “has been clear that the time for government mandating of masks is over,” said Renae Eze, Abbott’s press secretary, in an emailed statement to The Texas Tribune. “Now is the time for personal responsibility. Every Texan has the right to choose whether they will wear a mask, or have their children wear masks.”On Tuesday, a prominent Texas teachers group called on Abbott to let districts impose campus mask mandates with school set to begin in two weeks while national education advocates applauded the new CDC guidelines.“Educators are eager to return to the classroom, but the pandemic is still dangerous,” said Ovidia Molina, president of the Texas State Teachers Association, in a statement Tuesday.The CDC now recommends that all students, teachers and visitors wear masks in schools, and that vaccinated people start masking up again in indoor public spaces in “areas with substantial and high transmission,” officials said Tuesday.
So every Texan has the right to infect other Texans' children? Is that what I'm getting here? Isn't this rather like saying every Texan has a right to fire off guns wildly, because 2nd Amendment?
As the CDC prepares to recommend all K-12 students wear masks, a reminder that @GovAbbott has made it impossible for Texas schools to protect students and for cities to protect its citizens.

Parents, share your concerns with your schools. They need to hear from you.
Maybe we could have an Alice's Restaurant anti-war massacree!*The number of unvaccinated people in Austin-area hospital ICUs is rapidly rising — and increasingly younger. Please get vaccinated. Until then, for the safety of our entire community, those unvaccinated should wear masks, avoid gatherings, and travel or shop only as essential.

Abbott can just blame the poor for being lazy and shiftless and not wanting to work for daycare centers. Or just ignore the poor, which is mostly what he does.Bingo https://t.co/gsmF3HqdmR

Zooming past winter peak to 8,816 hospitalizations. At this rate, could be all time high by next week. pic.twitter.com/dzAsbdB5jw
Florida is a state that should be put in custodial care. I remember how my Florida cousins used to make fun of Florida politics back in the early 60s and it was a lot less loony back then. I love my Florida cousins but there's no way I was ever going to go there.
