A coalition of some 400 private and religious schools are suing Michigan’s top health official, arguing that the extension of a statewide ban on in-person learning violated the students’ constitutional rights.
The lawsuit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan against Robert Gordon, director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The same day, Gordon extended by 12 days an earlier order banning in-person learning at high schools, colleges, and universities in an effort to curb the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
