    We will let the courts figure it out.... in the meantime if your school system does not follow federal & CDC guidelines for keeping students safe at school --- then you better be prepared to spend plenty of money defending yourselves against lawsuits from the parents of every child who catches Covid. A school system failing to take basic measures recommended by the government against a disease is not any different than a school failing to take recommended measures to protect children against sexual predators on school grounds in the eyes of the legal system.

    That is called protecting your family's health -- all completely within the confines of the law.

    Parent sues school district after child contracts COVID-19

    October 11th, Monday

    WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — A parent has sued a southeastern Wisconsin school district after her son contracted COVID-19 from a classmate.

    The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Shannon Jensen filed the lawsuit in federal court against the Waukesha School District and school board on Oct. 5. Jensen is seeking an injunction ordering the district to comply with U.S. Centers for Disease Control COVID-19 guidelines.

    According to the lawsuit, the board in May removed a student mask requirement and other COVID-19 mitigation measures. One of Jensen’s son’s classmates came to school with symptoms in September and didn’t wear a mask. Jensen’s son was seated next to the sick student and was wearing a mask but still became infected. Jensen’s other two sons later tested positive as well.

    School Board President Joseph Como declined comment on the lawsuit.

    The Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC is funding the lawsuit. The brewing company is owned by Kirk Bangstad, who has aired his frustrations about how former President Donald Trump's administration responded to the pandemic. He ran unsuccessfully against incumbent Republican state Rep. Rob Swearingen last year.
    ----------

    Here in Canada, they've already ruled the school districts and other Parents that are not vaccinated and then sends a sick child to school without Covid testing...

    If another child then becomes infected with Covid from that sick child on school property...the school district and/or the not vaccinated Parents of the sick child...have no immunity from legal action.

    Parents and school administration meetings have been civil (almost boring) since that was announced. Thus, not vaccinated parents have not been outspoken as before now that vaccinated parents have a new tool to help protect their children.

    is it called extortion if the school district fails to keep hygienic cafeteria standards and kids catch e-coli?
