During an interview on Sunday, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said the Office for Civil Rights would be investigating claims to ensure students keep their rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Department has the authority to investigate any state educational agency whose policies or actions may infringe on the rights of every student to access public education equally,\u201d said Cardona. He added states banning mask mandates are \u201cneedlessly placing students, families and educators at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Florida and Texas are just two of several states that have implemented bans on enforcing masks in schools. Cardona added school districts who defy governor bans on masks would receive federal funding.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as Joe Biden asked Cardona to \u201caccess all available tools\u201d that can be used against states going against public health measures.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To local leaders and educators facing repercussions for protecting the health and safety of students and school communities: we stand with you, and we\u2019re ready to assist.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Y35rNCP6Mj\">https:\/\/t.co\/Y35rNCP6Mj<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zkQPAMHDU3\">pic.twitter.com\/zkQPAMHDU3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Secretary Miguel Cardona (@SecCardona) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SecCardona\/status\/1428807555988480000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 20, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/group-of-gop-state-attorney-generals-fire-off-letter-to-atf-opposing-push-to-regulate-gun-parts\/\">Group Of GOP State Attorney Generals Fire Off Letter To ATF Opposing Push To Regulate Gun Parts<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 AUGUST 05: Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel Cardona answers questions during the daily briefing at the White House.
