A federal lawsuit is being filed over Texas' ban on mask mandates. Disability Rights Texas says Governor Greg Abbott's Executive Order on masks violates federal law because it puts children with disabilities at risk. DRTx says students with disabilities need to be in classrooms, but not mandating facial coverings means they could get COVID and die. They're hoping an Austin-based federal judge will issue a Temporary Restraining Order. The Texas Education Agency is also named in the suit.
