U.S. District Court Judge Terry A. Doughty in Louisiana ruled that the federal government cannot push a COVID-19 vaccine or mask mandate for the Head Start program.
On December 2021, a teacher named Sandy Brick filed a lawsuit in federal court Louisiana to stop the mask and vaccine mandate. Brick was represented by Liberty Justice Center and the Louisiana-based Pelican Institute for Public Policy.
Brick’s lawsuit was prompted by the Office of Head Start under the Department of Health and Human Services publishing an"interim final rule" on Nov. 30, 2021, that required teachers, staff, and volunteers in Head Start programs to be"fully vaccinated" by Jan. 31, 2022, or face termination from their jobs.
The Office of Head Start also placed a universal mask mandate on all adults and children over two years old.President Biden on September 9, 2021, issued the Head Start mandate as part of a package of COVID-related mandates which would have affected more than 80 million AmericansHowever, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the government’s vaccine mandate for private businesses in a 6-3 decision last year.
With the Head Start ruling struck down, it is up to the federal government to decide whether to appeal the Western District ruling to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals."This is a monumental win for individual liberty. Our constitutional rights were brushed aside over the past two years. This victory should remind everyone that our rights cannot be put on hold based on the whims of the so-called experts at the time.
