Those are the idiots following the loon Joe Gale.
Be on guard for real now because the PA state Supreme Court just upheld the lower court ruling about mandating masking in schools (from the state level) - that was the breaking I heard on the radio about 15 minutes ago.
Have been trying to find some news report web link (sigh) but here is the ruling (PDF) - https://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/Supreme/out/J-86-2021pco%20-%20104981865154346467.pdf?cb=1
[J- 86-2021] - ORDER
PER CURIAM DECIDED: December 10, 2021
AND NOW, this 10th day of December, 2021, the Commonwealth Courts decision
is AFFIRMED. This Courts Order dated November 30, 2021, granting the emergency
application to reinstate the automatic supersedeas, is VACATED.
Opinion to follow.
Justice Saylor did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.

Pa. Supreme Court strikes down school mask mandate as Wolf administration loses appeal
by Maddie Hanna
Published 18 minutes ago
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday struck down the school mask mandate imposed by the administration of Gov. Tom Wolf, affirming a lower court ruling that said state health officials lacked the authority to set the requirement.
In an order, the high court said it had vacated an order that allowed the mask mandate to remain in place while the Wolf administration appealed the Commonwealth Court ruling. It did not immediately issue an opinion, but promised one would be coming.
During oral arguments Wednesday, some justices seemed skeptical of the administrations position that masking was a form of modified quarantine permitted under existing state law and regulations.
The plaintiffs who brought the case, Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman (R., Centre) and other parents, had argued that Acting Health Secretary Alison Beam erred in not following a formal process to create a new regulation when she imposed the masking requirement this fall.
This is a developing story.

I know the mandate was going to "expire" in January (post-holidays) in order to revert to "local" control...
