It is the smart thing to do.

Not everybody has a basement, or a wine cellar, or a whine cellar, to hide in, especially in Texas, where there are no basements.

President Joe Biden has expressed his disagreement with the move as have many health experts. They say it's too early to roll back measures meant to contain the coronavirus and that doing so might lead to lost progress. Show Less

Way to soon, need to get more people vaccinated, then maybe if numbers keep going down!

Its so ridiculous to end mask mandates right now. Increasing capacities is one thing...this is just stupid and irresponsible for no reason other than their politics.

Sue Evans

This just a political move. He is already playing that card with his statement regarding Biden and immigrants. If he was soo concerned for the Texans he would push for continually mandates because of immigrants coming in not the opposite.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
