The suit against Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee claims his executive order is unlawful.

SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. — Another battle in the war against COVID-19 has heated up.

According to a report in The Daily Memphian, Shelby County filed a federal lawsuit Thursday over the mask opt-out option in Tennessee schools. The suit against Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee claims his executive order 84 is unlawful. That order gave parents the ability to opt their children out of the mask mandate from the Shelby County Health Department.

1. From what I've seen, children get used to it and are fine with it was long as it's everyone

Not to mention, kids are getting sick!

3. Kids are so resilient

They aren't bothered by the masks.

It seems to be something in the adults' minds... they take it so personally.

5. I think I mentioned the little boy who sat in front of me in church at the funeral last week

He was wearing a mask - as was every single person in that large church - and he was obviously used to it, didn't seem to bother him in the least. And that was a pretty long funeral service. And I'm guessing that he has his own masks - probably for school if he's old enough - since it was smaller than the ones the adults were wearing. I don't think he was older than five. But it was obviously just fine with his parents who were wearing masks, too, so it was "normal" for him.
