Biden administration signals support for Valley schools defying Arizona's ban on mask mandates

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey's new plan to reward schools that shun COVID-19 mandates came under fire Wednesday from the Biden Administration, with the president leading the attack.

The focus was whether Ducey was spending federal money the way Congress had intended, to help schools protect students and staff from COVID-19.

Here's what you need to know:

"A dangerous tone"

In a White House speech that appeared to have Ducey in mind, Biden criticized politicians "who are trying to turn public safety measures, that is children wearing masks in school, into political disputes for their own political gain. Some are even trying to take power away from local educators by banning masks in school. They're setting a dangerous tone."

WTF? There is zero time for signalling support. This article talks all about warnings and such - they don't listen.
