Original title: six school districts in Texas will be sued by the state government for requiring teachers and students to wear masks
(Observer News) on September 10 local time, Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, announced that he would sue at least six school districts in the state because these school districts violated the governor's ban and required teachers and students to wear masks.
Earlier, Texas Republican governor Abbott issued an executive order to prohibit local government agencies and schools from requiring wearing masks or vaccinations, and threatened to impose fines or reduce funds on violators.

The school districts to be prosecuted by Texas attorney general Paxton are Elgin, Galveston, Richardson, round rock, Sherman and spring, NBC reported on the 12th.
Paxton said in a statement on the 10th that the school systems of the above six school districts ignored the ban of governor Abbott and required teachers and students to wear masks. He said that the list of school districts that "do not comply with the law" will be constantly updated, and more school districts may face legal sanctions.
"Education directors in Texas (some school districts) not only openly violate state laws, but also use regional resources that should be used to improve teacher performance or other educational welfare to defend their illegal political manipulation." Paxton stressed that he was confident that the law would not allow "political provocation".
On the same day, Paxton's office added: "if the school district and other government agencies continue to violate state laws, the attorney general's office is expected to file more lawsuits."
Earlier, Paxton threatened that the legislature could vote to cut funding for school districts that disobeyed the governor's orders.

In May this year, Texas Republican governor Abbott announced the lifting of the statewide "mask order". In July, Abbott issued an executive order prohibiting local government agencies and schools from requiring wearing masks or vaccinations, and threatened to impose a fine of $1000 on violators.
"The era of government order has passed, and we have entered the era of personal responsibility," Abbott said when explaining the state's position in July. It is worth mentioning that Abbott announced that COVID-19 test was positive in August 17th.
However, the CDC recommends that unvaccinated Americans aged 2 and over use masks in indoor public places. Vaccinated people should wear masks in indoor public places in areas with high epidemic risk.
At present, delta mutant virus is sweeping the United States. According to Hopkins University data, as of about 6 a.m. Beijing time on the 12th, 3362 new deaths in the United States in the past 24 hours, exceeding the number of victims in the "9.11" incident.
To make matters worse, most schools in the United States resume offline teaching in the new semester, but because children under the age of 12 have not been vaccinated, the campus has become a high-risk place for epidemic vaccination.
According to NBC, in this case, many school districts and institutions in Texas believe that masks are necessary for epidemic prevention, so they ignore the Abbott ban. In August, the appeal court of Travis County issued a temporary restraining order to prevent Abbott from enforcing the ban, and then schools in Austin, San Antonio and Dallas made relevant regulations requiring wearing masks.

At the same time, the contradiction between US President Biden and Texas governor Abbott has become increasingly obvious because of the new "abortion law" and epidemic prevention regulations.
On September 9, Biden announced a six part delta mutant strain control plan, requiring all federal employees to be fully vaccinated within 75 days. Abbott reacted fiercely, accused Biden of attacking personal freedom and vowed to file a lawsuit.
In his national speech on the 9th, Biden pointed the spearhead at Texas, accusing Texas and other state governments of the mask ban. He said that if some state leaders deprive teachers and officials of wages due to epidemic prevention measures, he will use federal funds to help them "do the right thing".
"I promise to support you," Biden added, adding that the Ministry of education is taking legal action.
