The MO AG who has filed lawsuits against 35 school districts in Missouri over mask mandates or the use of virtual learning when there aren't enough staff to work in person.

that have mask mandates, sounds like another good political ad to show poorer Republicans the difference between them and the rich they serve.

These people are all upper middle class people who are the "cream of the crop" just ask them. One thing I like about Biden is he is a regular guy who attended public schools and colleges.
