(BECKERNEWS) – Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has issued another “shot” across the bow for schools that seek to cling to mask mandates that run against the science: It is now illegal, according to Iowa law.
“The state of Iowa is putting parents back in control of their child’s education and taking greater steps to protect the rights of all Iowans to make their own health care decisions,” the Iowa Governor’s account stated. The provision against school mask mandates was an amendment added to H.F. 847.
“An amendment has been filed in the Iowa House that would prohibit school boards, superintendents, and authorities in charge of each accredited nonpublic school in Iowa from adopting, enforcing or implementing a policy requiring employees, students or members of the public to wear facial coverings for any purpose while on district or accredited nonpublic school’s property unless the covering is necessary for a specific extracurricular or instructional purpose,” the Iowa Standard reported. “It will cover public schools as well as accredited nonpublic schools.”
