Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order on Friday blocking mask mandates in the state's schools, saying parents had the right to decide if their children would wear face coverings.

The move by DeSantis, a Republican who has opposed strict Covid-19 rules on residents and businesses, overrules a requirement by two Florida counties, Broward and Gadsen, that students cover their faces when they return to class next month.

, which operates the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, ordered all U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees to get the Covid vaccine.Mask orders and mandatory vaccines in the United States have drawn stiff opposition from conservatives who say such steps violate constitutional freedoms. The move by DeSantis puts him at odds with local political leaders in Miami-Dade and Orange counties, and the city of Palm Beach, all of whom previously defied his orders suspending all COVID-19 clampdowns and prohibiting mask and vaccine mandates.

Florida is the best state with logic and freedom. People have the right to choose nit be enslaved.

All those kids that have to be vaccinated for MMR and polio to attend school

Scary how many people here are willing to give up their freedoms. Personal choice no longer en Vogue?

Darwinism in glorious technicolor, so good to see 😂 We need to thin the herd in any case - keep it up Gov 👍

I’ve had enough of listening to medical experts. We need more people acting on random judgement and what their mates have told them down the pub. This is what made our country great. My mate Dave told me of you can’t get COVID if you suck on a polo and this is good enough for me.

Thank you Governon.

Typical DeSatan.

Amen Florida an Australian are the hope for humanity what an era

Idiot

WOMEN CAN CHOOSE Scotus

One in every 5 of Florida's 110,000 new, COVID cases is pediatric, and this clown is pulling this crap? Just how backward are these people?

What is about to go down is that these far right wingers are going to get a good reckoning as to how few in numbers they are. And there are a fair amount of them who consider themselves “center”. Snicker…….

That’s too much freedom for the left to handle. 🇺🇸

This country is completely divided and it do more harm than good

We need to start mandating helmets. If 100% of Americans wore helmets for 2 weeks, we’d have herd immunity. HelmetsNow

Kids have a .0001% chance of dying from Covid so that’s the right plan

Just call him Florida man.
