Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order prohibiting governmental entities in Texas from mandating mask wearing. The governmental entities include counties, cities, school districts, public health authorities or governmental officials. Public schools may continue to require mask wearing through June 4. After that, no student, parent, teacher or other staff member or visitor can be required to wear a mask on campus. Local governmental or officials that try to impose a mask mandate can be subject to a fine of up to $1,000, effective Friday.

The Lone Star State continues to defeat COVID-19 through the use of widely-available vaccines, antibody therapeutic drugs, and safe practices utilized by Texans in our communities, Abbott said. Texans, not government, should decide their best health practices, which is why masks will not be mandated by public school districts or government entities. We can continue to mitigate COVID-19 while defending Texans liberty to choose whether or not they mask up. Recently, the CDC issued new guidance on masks, stating that fully vaccinated people those who are two weeks past their final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine can quit wearing masks outdoors in crowds and in most indoor settings and give up social distancing.

Like fucking why? What is it hurting if someone wants to wear a mask? This is getting so insanely ridiculous. Texas and Florida are cesspools.

This really seems like a 'we're not refusing you entry because you're black but because you don't fit the culture' vibe.

Like 'we'll just throw you out because you're wearing the wrong thing/wrong hairstyle/don't mesh with our image/etc'

Obvious get around the rule is obivous

I don't support it obviously but this is really one of these 'easy to get around' laws

Texans, not government, should decide their best health practices,

It's one thing to stop a mandate, but to also make a mandate to stop...

This sounds like a governmental order, I thought the GOP wanted less government.

This is all pandering, hopefully Abbot has enough stains in his undershires from this year to lose the next election.

Teas where we can't teach a history of racism because that makes people uncomfortable, can't wear masks because people hate people wearing masks for any reason and if you don't like it you can move to commiefornia!
