Attorney Norm Pattis has joined a challenge against the state’s requirement that children wear face masks in school to slow the spread of the coronavirus and is seeking to appeal a recent ruling denying an immediate end to the rule to the state Supreme Court.
The plaintiffs in the case, several parents and the CT Freedom Alliance, filed an appeal last month of a recent decision by Superior Court Judge Thomas G. Moukawsher denying an injunction against the mask mandate.
“The appellants argue that forcing children to wear masks in school is dangerous to children’s health and that children are constitutionally entitled to a physical learning experience under the Connecticut Constitution,” Pattis wrote in the filing this week.
