Gov. Gavin Newsom acted in an unconstitutional manner when he implemented COVID-19-related mandates barring private school children from in-person classes, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has ruled.
A July 2020 lawsuit filed by the Center for American Liberty and 20 plaintiffs challenged the Democrat governor’s order that barred in-person teaching in 32 of California’s counties. Several of those plaintiffs said Newsom had overstepped his authority and acted illegally by denying parents control over their children’s education.
