| Federal Judge Strikes Down Fed School Mask and Vaccine Mandate |
| 2022-09-24 |
| [Liberty] LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA (Sept. 21, 2022) — Today, a federal judge in Louisiana ruled that the federal government cannot require Head Start program teachers, staff and volunteers be vaccinated against COVID-19, nor can they require that adults and students wear masks. In December 2021, teacher Sandy Brick filed a lawsuit in federal court Louisiana to stop the mandate and are represented by the national law firm Liberty Justice Center and the Louisiana-based Pelican Institute for Public Policy. "Although President Biden recently declared that the ’pandemic is over,’ the fight to restore Americans’ individual liberties is not," said Daniel Suhr, managing attorney at the Liberty Justice Center. "We will continue to fight for teachers like Sandy and the low-income students they serve until every illegal and unjustified mandate is wiped from the books. Today’s decision is a significant step toward undoing the injustice perpetrated against everyday Americans throughout the COVID-19 crisis." Sarah Harbison, general counsel at the Pelican Institute for Public Policy added, "Louisiana teacher Sandy Brick has been serving her students through adversity and uncertainty the last two years. Today, this decision vindicates her right to teach without sacrificing her freedom." |
