New Post: Attorneys for the state of Tennessee whine that if we can mandate masks in school using disability rights law, then the ADA also would allow us to mandate masks at work.

Damn right it does.

"When the news about Texas broke, MSNBC legal analyst Neal Katyal went on air to say that Texas was “on the verge of turning into something very medieval.” But there’s a key difference between then and now. In pre-modern Europe, as early as the ninth century, and especially in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and beyond, efforts to regulate pregnancy and criminalize infanticide are best understood as one part of a wide array of moral and legal decrees all intended to, above all, protect both pregnant women and children from all manner of accidental and intentional harm. Today, on the other hand, anti-abortion laws promote surveillance, criminalization, and control, driven by a movement that only cares about the fetus until the moment of birth. It’s easy to assume that these vigilante tendencies around reproduction have deep roots, and to call them “medieval” as a way of distancing ourselves from the horror. In fact, they are the fruits of far more recent, and newly grafted, plantings."

The intention was protection. And enforcement was (generally) merciful.
