The Iowa A-C-L-U says 11 Iowa parents of students with disabilities and a disability rights group are filing a federal lawsuit against the state over the law that bans mask mandates in schools.  A-L-C-U attorney Rita Bettis Austen says the students can’t get the same education through online learning. She says they are asking the court to immediately block the part of the law that prohibits mask mandates from schools.

Governor Kim Reynolds signed the bill into law in May and says it allows parents to decided if their child should wear a mask to school.
