E.T. v. Morath

On September 29, 2021, the United States filed a statement of interest in E.T. v. Morath, No. 1:21-CV-00717 (W.D. Tex.), to address the application of Title II to Texas Executive Order GA-38, which prohibits school districts from imposing mask requirements. The issue in the case is the impact of GA-38 on the plaintiffs—students who allege that their disabilities place them at heightened risk of infection and severe illness from COVID-19 and that GA-38 requires them to choose between returning to in-person learning despite these heightened health risks or leaving the public school system.
