Virginia’s governor, attorney general, and the superintendent of public instruction have asked to join a lawsuit on behalf of parents fighting to opt their children out of mask mandates at school.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by three families against Loudoun County Public Schools, one of Virginia’s public school districts that insist on requiring students to wear a mask in school buildings in defiance of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s order.
