Masks in schools took center stage in federal court in Denver Monday, with lawyers for the Douglas County School District asking a judge to halt a mask exemption policy passed earlier this month by the county’s newly formed public health department. U.S. District Judge John L. Kane didn’t immediately rule on the request for a temporary restraining order but told everyone to be back in his courtroom Tuesday morning to wrap up arguments. The 64,000-student school district sued the Douglas County Health Department last week on behalf of nine families with children with disabilities, who claim their kids’ civil rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act are being violated by the mask exemption. Their children have health conditions like asthma, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, diabetes and Down syndrome that make them more susceptible to more severe illness, or death, should they contract COVID-19, the suit claims.

  • Gateway Pundit Bankrupt
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 11:00 PM

    Trump-supporting conspiracy theorist Jim Hoft posted a message to his readers saying they are filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection claiming it is as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet. Hoft didn't say exactly who, what, or why this is happening now, but Will Sommer from the Washington Post has some information. While he didn’t name which lawsuits he was referencing, the site is being sued for claims of defamation and infliction of emotional distress by Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss, two Georgia election workers who say they faced threats after the site leveled baseless accusations of ballot fraud against them. That sounds about right.
