Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit on Aug. 24 against school districts in the state that have imposed mask mandates on students, seeking a declaration from the courts that such requirements are unlawful.

“Mask mandates for kids in schools are not supported by the science and are an arbitrary and capricious measure. The cure should not be worse than the disease,” the lawsuit (pdf), filed in the 13th Judicial Circuit Court in Boone County, Missouri, reads.
