A Father Accuses a School Mask Mandate of Violating His Rights
The father of a 12-year-old girl within the Winslow school system is suing over the decision to mandate students wear face coverings.
Scott Fortuna, who lives in Penobscot County and whose daughter attends Winslow Junior High School, filed the lawsuit Friday in U.S. District Court in Bangor, where he is seeking an injunction against the policy, damages, attorney fees and punitive damages.
The lawsuit names the town of Winslow, the Winslow school board, Winslow public schools and Superintendent Peter Thiboutet as defendants.
