Students Epically Serve The Loudoun County School Board With Lawsuits Over Forced Face Masks

The Loudoun County School Board on Tuesday was presented with baskets of affidavits by several students during its meeting after a speaker claimed that the school division failed to respond to a Feb. 2 notice of “maladministration, and demand to cease and desist enforcing what they said are unconstitutional mandates on students.”

An LCPS spokesperson confirmed that papers were dropped off, and that staff would examine them, but offered no other comment. Some attendees could be heard in a video posted on social media claiming the School Board was being served.

It was not immediately clear what group was behind the effort during the public comment period.

On Jan. 24, an executive order from Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) allowed parents to decide whether their children should wear face masks in school, despite the transmission rate remaining high locally, around the commonwealth and nationwide. LCPS, however, implemented a local policy mandating the continued use of face masks before the executive order took effect.
