VA Supreme Court Rules School Boards Can Make Masks Optional, Doesn’t Rule on Whether Youngkin Mask Executive Order Is Legal

See below for tweets by @bradkutner, @samshirazim, @nedoliver and others regarding the Supreme Court of Virginia’s ruling, dismissing a “mandamus claim against @glennyoungkns school #mask opt-out EO,” but not “rul[ing] in the actual issue at hand.” So, bottom line, per Sam Shirazi:

• “School Boards can make masks optional
• No word on whether Mask EO is legal
• Lower court opinion allowing some school boards to still mandate masks still in place”
