Mandates No More

No more running down the wrong road
Dancing to a different drum
Can't you see what's going on
Deep inside your heart
--Michael McDonald

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed an executive order blocking state sponsored entities, including public schools, from requiring masks or vaccines as countermeasures to CV19. 

"The new executive order emphasizes that the path forward relies on personal responsibility rather than government mandates," Abbott said.

The governor appears to have learned from his past mistakes. He joins a growing list of officials to reverse previous policy mandates for masks, lockdowns, etc.

Abbott added that Texans "have the individual right and responsibility to decide for themselves and their children whether they will wear masks, open their businesses, and engage in leisure activities."

Right on, governor. As these pages have noted since the beginning. Let the people decide.
