In light of the CDC’s updated COVID guidance, I’m calling on every California school district that still has a mask mandate to end it immediately.

By the CDC’s own terms, there is also zero justification for any school or college to exclude or segregate based on vaccination status. This retrograde era of discrimination must end.

Specifically, the new guidelines “no longer differentiate based on a person’s vaccination status” and also recognize natural immunity. It’s taken years, but the agency has finally bowed to reality. 

This comes as the OC Board of Education’s lawsuit to end the State of Emergency is moving forward with new co-plaintiffs. A judge granted Rocklin Unified’s motion to join the case after the district told the Court that it should “be able to make decisions that represent the interests of our constituents as it relates to vaccination, mask requirements, testing requirements, and instruction.”

The Judge also said: “I don’t know what science the Governor is relying on. Maybe we will find that out in this case.”
