The seven-month long lawsuit concerning the constitutionality of Connecticut’s requirement students wear masks in school to slow the spread of coronavirus will continue after the Hartford judge presiding over the case denied a summary judgment Monday.
The Connecticut Freedom Alliance first filed the lawsuit in late August after former state education commissioner, and now newly appointed U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, ordered a school mask mandate in the state.
After losing an injunction in November and awaiting an appeal, the group asked Superior Court Judge Thomas Moukawsher for a decision in their favor without a full trial, to which he declined.
