(From Attorney General Eric Schmitt)Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt has joined a multi-state lawsuit against the Biden Administration for imposing a mask and vaccine mandate on Head Start students and volunteers, respectively.
“Head Start Programs provide much needed resources for underserved communities, single moms, and other parents who may be struggling to provide care.
"Forcing children to wear masks all day is counterintuitive, as children have a very low risk of contracting, spreading, or becoming seriously ill from COVID-19. Further, forcing those children to wear masks all day could hinder crucial development,” said Attorney General Schmitt.
“Additionally, requiring volunteers, teachers, and contractors to be vaccinated by the end of January will certainly lead to job loss and program cancellation, harming those underserved communities who rely on the Head Start Program.
"We’ve heard from parents across the state about how these mask mandates are harming their children. The Biden Administration does not have the authority to issue these onerous mask and vaccine mandates, and as we have with all of his illegal edicts, we will fight them vigorously in court.”
Head Start provides much needed resources to primarily underserved children and their families. The program provides early childhood education and resources, including diapers, to families. Under the mandate, teachers, contractors, and volunteers in Head Start Programs are required to be fully vaccinated by January 31, which will lead to job loss and loss of programming, harming underserved communities.
The states allege that the Head Start Mandate is not only beyond the Executive Branch’s authority, contrary to law, and arbitrary and capricious; but it also violates the Administrative Procedure Act’s Notice-and-Comment Requirement, the Congressional Review Act, the Nondelegation Doctrine, the Tenth Amendment, the Anti-Commandeering Doctrine, the Spending Clause, and the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act of 1999.
Joining Attorneys General Schmitt and Landry in in the lawsuit are the attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming, and West Virginia.

The Missouri Attorney General’s Office has been a national leader in fighting mask mandates in schools. Earlier this month, the Attorney General’s Office opened up an email inbox for parents to voice their concerns and share information about school districts continuing to enforce mask mandates and quarantine orders in light of the recent Cole County ruling. Since opening that email inbox, the Attorney General’s Office received over 7,500 emails and has sent out 52 cease and desist letters to schools, resulting in policy changes or planned policy changes in a number of schools across the state.
Further, Attorney General Schmitt has also been a national leader in challenging the Biden Administration’s unlawful federal vaccine mandates. Just yesterday, the Missouri Attorney General’s Office obtained a preliminary injunction halting the vaccine mandate on federal contractors. The Missouri Attorney General’s Office also recently obtained an injunction against the Biden Administration’s health care worker vaccine mandate. The Missouri Attorney General’s Office also joined a motion for emergency stay in the United States Supreme Court to halt the vaccine mandate on private employers.

Religious faith creates pathways in the brain where logic can be overruled by other nonsensical suggestions.
What's next?
Going after the stop at stop signs mandates?
Or the don't pass in no passing zone mandates?
As long as people have their freedom to decide about stop signs that's one thing.
GOVERNMENT MANDATES ARE SOMETHING ELSE!
Sounds like a Red-State Revolt against Senile Joe's mandates.
Currently 800,000 dead Americans, and a very significant portion of the public is yelling "hurrr hurrr no shots for me" and "things are already back to normal!"
Sounds like a Stupid-State type of thinking for lawmakers and electeds to prevent public officials trying to do their jobs to prevent illness and dead from doing that.
Many in Missouri don't believe in evolution and aren't proficient in math at the algebra level. Expecting these same folk to understand what's going on with immunology genetics and epidemology at any time if foolish. To expect them to be abe to make intelligent decisions about how to keep themselves and society safe is clearly a fools errand.
Once they were convinced by the reichwing tv, clergy and politicians to stop listening to smart people their stupidity gets unleashed on the world.
If the country had been hampered by this level of idiocracy in the 1950s and 1960s NASA would have never landed men on the moon. Nor would we have the smartphone, the idiocracy's favorite disinformation device.
No doubt the idiocracy were there in the past in the form of the parents and grandchildren of the current crop. Their influence back then was just sensibly limited by a sensible society.
Now the idiots regularly win Red-State elections and help fly the country into the ground.
