Daily Beast: A Christian School Sued Over Michigan's Mask Mandate. Officials Just Shut It Down.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/libertas-christian-school-sued-over-michigans-mask-mandate-officials-just-shut-it-down

The Libertas Christian School, a “Bible-based” institution that local officials say is grappling with an “ongoing” coronavirus “outbreak,” has had enough of Michigan’s COVID-19 guidelines.

In a lawsuit filed in federal court last week against top state officials—including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan attorney general, and the director of the Department of Health and Human services—the school alleges the state government has made “repeated, unreasonable demands” since it re-opened last month, including requiring all 265 students to wear masks.

“It is inappropriate, unwise, and unconstitutional to try to fit the State’s current designs of how an industrialized state-run school should operate to this Bible-based association,” the lawsuit alleges. The school accuses Michigan officials of “violating the constitutional rights of Libertas, its students, their families, and their teachers through a pattern of threats and intimidation."

to justify not obeying reasonable protective community rules.

Makes one want to lock them all up in their church house and throw away the key for a month with no government-connected medical assistance. Let Jesus take the wheel.
