To be clear, Jason Kenney is lying. Our case has NOT been thrown out. You really cannot believe a thing this guy says. #KenneyLiesAllTheTime #AbLeg #abpoli #cdnpoli #COVID19AB

Acting with a group of parents, we asked for three things 1) a judicial review of the UCP’s decision to lift mask mandates in schools 2) a return to masking until the review is heard 3) nullification of the UCP’s prohibition on school boards setting their own mask policies.

The court threw out #3 because we’re not school boards. The judge said he’d have to hear directly from school boards themselves if they are treating LaGrange’s letter prohibiting school boards from setting their own mask rules as binding on them.

That’s the only part of our action that has been “thrown out.” The rest is still moving forward (of course, Kenney has directed government lawyers to drag their feet on picking court dates for as long as possible).

Note to @TrishEstabrooks: please read this thread and consider making your own application to make it clear to the court that you do, in fact, view LaGrange’s letter as a prohibition on your board’s ability to set its own masking policy.
