Two California-based advocacy organizations filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and the state’s top health officials over COVID-19 protocols for K-12 schools.
The groups, Let Them Breathe and Reopen California Schools, include parents of students attending public schools throughout the state. A joint statement said that they are specifically “challenging the state’s facial covering, asymptomatic testing, and close contact quarantine guidance.” In addition, they have been working in collaboration “to advocate against the State’s erroneous school closures and arbitrary operating protocols,” it continued.
