It's Sunday

Why?

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) said Friday that private schools are exempt from having to follow local health restrictions regarding school openings.

Paxton said in an open letter to religious private institutions that forcing such schools to comply with local reopening guidelines would be unconstitutional.

  

But it's not unconstitutional to force other schools?

Texas’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act mandates that the government must show a “compelling interest” in regulations that “substantially burden” the free exercise of religion and that rules are applied in the least restrictive way possible.

That doesn't cut it.

“Thus, as protected by the First Amendment and Texas law, religious private schools may continue to determine when it is safe for their communities to resume in-person instruction free from any government mandate or interference. Religious private schools therefore need not comply with local public health orders to the contrary,” Paxton concluded.

Bullshit.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
