California Parents Sue Gov. Newsom For Barring Kids From School
In coordination with the Dhillon Law Group, a band of California parents filed a lawsuit with a U.S. District Court challenging the Democrat governor s mandate and seeking injunctive relief. At the time of the mandate, the monitoring list encompassed approximately 80 percent of California schools, including more than 1,000 districts comprising more than 10,500 schools and 6.1 million students. Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urging schools to reopen and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo announcing New York schools could reopen, Newsom didn t budge.
A one-size-fits-all solution is not the correct approach, Petrilla, a father in south Orange County and one of the plaintiffs in the case, told The Federalist. We really need to have these decisions at the district level because there are nearly 30 school districts in Orange County and they all have vastly different demographics, different population densities, different case numbers, and so for the governor to take this away from the local districts really doesn t make sense.
