Florida Gov. DeSantis is appealing a judge's ruling that the governor exceeded his authority by ordering school boards not to impose strict mask requirements on students.

Attorney Areva Martin talks to"GMA" about the rights of kids in the classroom as the delta variant continues to surge.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- 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 theThe governor's lawyers took their case Thursday to the 1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee.

DICTATOR doing again

The GOP's disinformation campaign about COVID is literally killing their own voters at a much higher rate than it's killing Dem voters. Do Rs realize that dead people can't vote? Or are they planning to just deny/ignore election results from here on?

ImpeachDeSantis

DeSantis would make a great Russian politician. He should move there and try it.

EXPLAINER: How California could recall Gov. Gavin NewsomLOS ANGELES (AP) — California’s Sept. 14 recall election could remove first-term Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom from office. Just over 5 million mail-in ballots — the form of voting most Californians use — already have been returned out of 22 million sent to registered voters. I’m not angry After next week's initial and unfavorable Gov. Newsom numbers... illegal ballot harvesting will commence. You are wrong about the recall reasoning. It’s a Republican political grab using the insane recall rules for no other reason then they can’t win a general election fairly

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
