Good evening from washington, d. C. I am zerlina maxwell, in for chris hayes. We are seeing a backlash around the country to red states bans on Mask Mandates, especially in schools. And texas, a School District is defying greg Abbotts Ban by adding face coverings to their dress codes. They are just one of the many districts taking on the governor. In south carolina, seven districts, including charleston county, are requiring masks despite a state ban. And in miamidade, the School Board voted to approve a Mask Mandate in defiance of an Executive Order from the republican governor, Ron Desantis. I let you a county, its also enforcing masking. I will speak to the superintendent of that district, later in the. Show its the same story over, and over, and. Over republican governments put these nonsensical regulations into place, in spite of warnings from Public Health officials and experts.

Information as we can to find a way to peacefully resolve this. So, we are in communication with the suspect. As you can imagine the threat is prompting a major Security Response on Capitol Hill. The Cannon Office Building has been evacuate and the nearest Metro Station is closed. Joining with us a live update is Justice Correspondent Pete Williams and also correspondent garrett haake, and what can you tell us about his identity . Well, he is a man from North Carolina named Floyd Ray rosebarry, and what is extraordinary is that he tried to call attention to him to provote a response, and so police say he drove to the Library Of Congress and he drove the Pickup Truck to the side of the sidewalk and as if that did not call enough attention, he claims that he called 911 himself, and this is maybe what got to police response.

So thats to be clear, you are vaccinated, correct . So is your concern primarily with your own health or with the health of the students who might not be vaccinated . I have mitral valve prolapse. I have some Family Members who have health issues. I have Family Members who are unvaccinated because theyre too young to get the vaccine. I have colleagues who have young children. And those are, those are all concerns. I have students who are going to come in who will be unvaccinated. So its all of that above. And school is coming back, its always a t
