Judge allows San Antonio, Bexar County to issue mask mandate for schools, public buildings

Local officials on Tuesday imposed mask requirements, quarantine rules and other measures at area schools to prevent the spread of COVID-19 shortly after a judge temporarily overturned Gov. Greg Abbott’s emergency order preventing such mandates.

At a hearing Tuesday afternoon, state District Judge Antonia “Toni” Arteaga issued a temporary restraining order blocking Abbott’s order, clearing the way for the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District to require students and employees in public and private schools to wear masks and to quarantines in cases where unvaccinated students were exposed to people found to have COVID-19.

The city and county asked for the ruling in a lawsuit against the governor filed that morning, citing a rise in coronavirus cases and a stall in vaccinations against it. The coronavirus delta variant has resulted in the fastest rise in hospitalizations throughout the state since the pandemic began last year, officials said.

What do YOU consider « offensive »? – updated

« The gold miners dig everywhere like wild pigs. The forest’s rivers will soon be no more than miry backwaters, full of mud, motor oil, and trash. They also wash their gold powder in the streams, mixing it with mercury. All these dirty and dangerous things make the waters sick and the fish’s flesh soft and rotten. After the gold prospectors arrived the forest had become bad and was filled with xawara epidemic fumes. Since the gold miners arrived among us most of our fathers and grandfathers were devoured by their diseases.» – Yanomami spokesman and shaman Davi Kopenawa

What is my personal point of view regarding «obscenity»?

I’ve had occasional problems, over many years, with photos of Yanomami living traditionally in the rainforest that I posted on Facebook. Due to censorship concerning their «community standards». Facebook removes the «offending» photos and I’ve been sanctioned by having my ability to…

Filosofa's Word

Just two ‘good people’ today, but they are small fry with huge hearts!


Let’s start today’s good people with a small, very cool young person. His name is Rowyn Montgomery, he is all of seven years old, and lives in Tiverton, Rhode Island.  Young Rowyn … this kid is gonna knock your socks off … he’s smart, he’s compassionate, he’s got more sense than a great number of adults I know.  And he’s even got his own YouTube channel, “Rollin’ with Rowyn“.

Rowyn first came up with the idea of making inspirational videos after being bullied himself.  Says Rowyn …

“When I make videos, it makes me feel happy that other people can watch them and feel happy. If they’re getting picked on or if they’re shy or something, they can watch the videos.”

Take a look at this one …

Gov. Andy Beshear issued a new mask mandate Tuesday for Kentucky’s schools, less than a day before many districts will welcome kids back to class. Under the new requirement, anyone inside a Kentucky school facility will be required to wear a face mask, regardless of their vaccination status against COVID-19.
