No First Amendment right to refuse to wear masks against Covid

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that there was no free speech right to refuse to wear face masks at school board meetings during the height of the Covid pandemic. (The Associated Press, February 6, 2024, by Mike Catalini)

New Jersey citizens brought suits challenging the rule, but the court rejected their arguments, “Skeptics are free to — and did — voice their opposition through multiple means,” the court wrote, “But disobeying a masking requirement is not one of them. One could not, for example, refuse to pay taxes to express the belief that ‘taxes are theft.’ Nor could one refuse to wear a motorcycle helmet as a symbolic protest against a state law requiring them.” (New Jersey101.5, February 7, 2024, by Eric Scott)
