https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a...ederal-judge/ar-AAS6lt8?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531In their lawsuit filed in August, two Nevada parents claimed that the mask mandate, as well as their exclusion from the decisionmaking process regarding it, violated their constitutional rights as parents. However, U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer Dorsey wrote that these "perceived wrongs" were not constitutional violations.
Dorsey determined in her 22-page decision that the plaintiffs in the case had failed to demonstrate a legal basis for their claims and rejected their lawsuit.
"The Constitution does not require an opportunity to participate in the decision-making process for such broadly applicable policies, and the fundamental right to parent does not include the prerogative to dictate school health and safety policies," wrote Dorsey.
