AG Paxton Sues San Antonio ISD Over Employee Vaccination Mandate

[#TexasPolitics365]


Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a complaint asking for a temporary restraining order against San Antonio ISD after it refused to follow Executive Order GA-38. GA-38 prohibits governmental entities and officials from mandating COVID-19 vaccinations. It has the force and effect of state law and preempts local rules and regulations.

"If other governmental entities continue to blatantly disregard state law, I will sue every single one of them," he said.
