The Biden administration’s Department of Education on Sept. 21 added Texas to the list of states being investigated over their bans on or exemptions from school mask mandates.

The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights sent a letter to Texas Education Agency (TEA) Commissioner Mike Morath notifying him about a “directed investigation” into whether the ban on mask mandates in Texas violates federal law.
