BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked an Iowa law banning school districts from mandating masks to fight the coronavirus. Judge Robert Pratt said the law increases the risk of children with health conditions of contracting COVID-19.

He issued a temporary restraining order to be in effect immediately. It remains in effect until the court issues an order for a preliminary injunction.

Pratt pointed out that it’s been almost 40 years since the U.S. Supreme Court recognized that, regardless of citizenship status, denying school-aged children a free public education violates the U.S. Constitution. He said the AAP has recorded about 3,500 new COVID-19 cases among Iowa school-aged children since July and some public schools in Iowa are experiencing COVID-19 infection rates at upwards of 60% of last year’s total for the entire school year.

So children without health conditions are safe, thought so.

What data did Pratt look at?

Hope judges across the country will block any law that is against mask mandate because mask is only protection of kids at school especially those not yet eligible for vaccines.

The worst thing is this fool will be re-elected next time.

Ask Kim Reynolds about her math elements that she has to slow and stop Covid-19 and the pandemic ?

Oh Iowa, please learn from our past, circa 1918

The judge is a legal expert, not a medical expert. He should stay in his lane and leave the doctors to attend to their expertise. Probably a lousy judge anyhow.

Yet another judge that doesn't doesn't give a damn if our children catch Covid-19, wind up on a ventilator, & possibly die. That means that the state of Iowa is NOT a place you'd like to live & start a family in.

I'm old enough to remember when no one could bring peanuts for school lunch cuz one kid might be allergic

Im no attorney but I think this is, in legal terms, “F**k you anti-maskers.”

Does this law she's halting prevent the mandate, or is her halting the law making it so the mandate isn't in order? Need clarification.

Translation 'Liberal Judge Orders track party lines without any basis in logic or science'.

Kudos to a considerable judge!

Fine, then children with 'health conditions' can wear masks and/or home school

GOP: killing the kids to own the libs

Is he a doctor as well

Thank GOD!

What next? Forcing us to wear a shirt and shoes to go into a store? Tyranny!

Who does Iowa think it is, Florida?

The Republican courts are a danger to society and democracy. This is just lunacy.

The virus has already appealed this decision
