As COVID surges, Texas Attorney General asks people to rat out municipalities requiring masks

[douglas9]

As legal battles intensify between Gov. Greg Abbott and municipalities who push back against his order banning local mask mandates, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is asking Texans to rat out local officials.

In a Thursday tweet, Paxton's office urged residents to email a dedicated account to let staff there know "if your local entity imposes a mask mandate."

The tweet also offers a link to the AG's list of local entities that have defied Abbott's order. As of early Thursday afternoon, the tally now includes more than 70 purported violators, ranging from those in urban centers — Bexar County and Houston ISD, for example — to largely rural Lasara ISD and Nueces County.

2. Why does that sound familiar? Oh, right....

This time commitment and regular exposure to Nazi ideology weakened the influence of parents, teachers, religious figures, and other voices of authority. In fact, the Hitler Youth and League of German Girls even encouraged members to report to their leaders about what was happening in their schools, churches, and families.
