TX School Officials Try Dress Code Loophole In Gov. Ban


The Texas, Paris Independent School District (PISD), announced New Changes to the Dress Code by adding a Mask, in a Press Release on Tuesday, weeks after Governor, Greg Abbott (R), issued an Executive Order, Banning Schools from requiring Face Masks.

"The Board of Trustees is concerned about the health and safety of its students and employees. The Board believes the dress code can be used to mitigate communicable health issues, and therefore has amended the PISD dress code to protect our students and employees," the School District said in the Release.

The District, went on to say that Abbott Lacks the Authority "to usurp" the Board's "exclusive power and duty to govern and oversee the management of the public schools of the district." "Nothing in the Governor's Executive Order 38 states he has suspended Chapter 11 of the Texas Education Code, and therefore the Board has elected to amend its dress code consistent with its statutory authority," the District added.

The move comes after, another School District in Texas, said recently that it will keep its Mask Mandate for Students In-Place despite a recent Ruling from the State's High Court upholding Abbott's Ban.

School Districts in Republican-led States including: Arizona, Florida, and Oklahoma, have implemented similar Polices in recent weeks, defying Orders Banning such Measures by State Leaders, as the Delta Variant has fueled a Surge in Coronavirus Cases in different Parts of the U.S.

Health Officials have urged the Public to return to Wearing Masks in Indoor Spaces, even if the Individual is Vaccinated, to curb the Rising number of Infections, including "breakthrough cases" in fully Vaccinated People.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says Coronavirus Vaccines remain Effective in Staving-Off Infections and bringing the current year-plus "pandemic under control."

However, the Agency notes on its website that No Vaccines are 100% Effective in preventing Illness in those Vaccinated, and acknowledges there will be a Small Percentage of Fully Vaccinated People who will come down with the Illness.

Abbott, who is Fully Vaccinated, was revealed by his Office to be One of those Cases, on Tuesday, after Testing Positive for COVID-19.
