My op-ed piece today in the @dallasnews, on Gov. Abbott’s misguided attempt to prohibit public schools from requiring masks. A law that is supposed to allow a governor to respond to disasters is instead being used to prevent responses to a disaster. https://t.co/0krFwc6pw4

So the question for Gov. Abbott and Attorney General Paxton: If these prominent private schools are making this decision to protect their students, employees, and families, why shouldn’t our public schools be able to make the same choice for theirs? 6/6 #txlege
The @RichardsonISD has my full support in the lawsuit that AG Paxton has brought against it for requiring masks indoors. The district should not be sued for its efforts to do the right thing for its students, teachers, and families. More here: https://t.co/rwRvtADX2T. #txlege
