President Joe Biden is directing the Education Department to “use all available tools” to combat Republican governors whose state policies prohibit Covid-19 mitigation strategies like masking in the classroom.

Biden, in a memo sent Wednesday to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, said the Education Department must take action to ensure governors and other officials are allowing a safe return to in-person learning and “not standing in the way of local leaders making such preparations.”

“Our priority must be the safety of students, families, educators, and staff in our school communities,” Biden wrote. “Nothing should interfere with this goal.”
