Utah's governor responded Thursday after President Joe Biden this week ordered his education secretary to explore possible legal action against Republican-led states that have blocked school mask mandates and other public health measures meant to protect students against COVID-19.
In response, the Education Department raised the possibility of using its civil rights arm to fight policies in Florida, Texas, Iowa and other Republican-led states that have barred public schools from requiring masks in the classroom.
