Thursday's appeal comes after Leon County Circuit Judge John C. Cooper ruled in favor of the school districts which gave Florida's 67 school boards the power to enforce a student mask mandate without parental approval.

Florida Gov.

Ron DeSantis, shown here in a roundtable discussion about the uprising in Cuba at the American Museum of the Cuba Diaspora on July 13, has filed an appeal asking for his ban on mask mandates in schools be reinstated."Ultimately, we are just trying to stand with the parents," DeSantis said."We think it's important that they are given the ability to opt-out."

Florida governor appeals ruling on masks in schoolsST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has appealed a judge's ruling that the governor exceeded his authority by ordering school boards not to impose strict mask requirements on students to combat the spread of the coronavirus. DeSantis, just like his hero, Trump, cannot admit a policy he proposed or something he previously said was ever wrong. If he did, he would lose his entire base and he knows it. The fact that there are so many sick kids speaks to the capability of the parents to choose. Y’all Queda acting up again. Good job killing Americans
