(Council Bluffs, IA) — The mother of two young students in Council Bluffs is suing Governor Kim Reynolds over the law she signed that bans schools from requiring masks. Fran Parr has twin sons in first grade and says she wants to get some recognition of the risk that the Delta variant is to the unvaccinated and to children. Parr’s is the first lawsuit filed to challenge the law signed in May. Governor Reynolds has said it should be parents who decide whether their children wear masks at school.
