Are they doing this in your district too? Could I potentially win a suit? So, if a staff member refuses to force a child to wear a mask etc they get reprimanded and eventually fired if not immediately. I don’t think this is right.

You don't think its right they fired the staff member? In many states they don't need a reason to fire a person.
