A woman’s court challenge to the Newton School District’s mask policy has been denied. Harvey County District Judge Marilyn Wilder wrote in her seven-page ruling that Danica Dickson’s claims of discrimination and segregation against the district for punishing her son for improperly wearing a mask were invalid. “None of those rights is implicated in the requirement to put a small piece of cloth over one’s mouth and nose to help prevent the spread of a potentially deadly airborne disease when that cloth does not prevent any bodily function, does not impede movement in any way and is allowed to be removed in prescribed ways, at prescribed times,” she wrote.
