The suit was filed last week in a Sarasota County court by parents Amy Cook, Gustavo Collazo, Nicholas Eastman, and Catherine Gonzales after the school board approved an emergency 90-day mask mandate that extends its policy through to the end of the year.
"The policy of mandatory facemask wear for students of tender years leaves parents with little choice: subject their children to a policy that is not in the best interest of the child, or to be compelled to home school their children in a manner that is both separate, and unequal, and also results in additional harms unrelated to COVID-19."
Caroline Zucker, the school board chair, declined to comment on the lawsuit. Shirley Brown, the vice-chair of the Sarasota County School Board, said they are following guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Brown also said that the mask requirement is just one of the steps the district is taking to prevent a potential outbreak. There are no assemblies at the schools and the number of visitors is limited.
When the teachers die from the virus they will close the schools. Then you're going to have to pay for day care.
Bunch of idiots
If you believe that government can stop a virus, then you are an idiot. If you believe governments are stripping away rights and monitoring our every move because they care, then you possess the logic of a slave who has fallen in love with its master. Candace Owens
This is so stupid what is wrong with theses folks really really
Do they sue over seat belts?
Because they don't want to protect their children? Isn't that your JOB as parents?! And WHY does ot seem like it's ALWAYS Florida?! Does the stupidity just get inhaled in the air?
Idiots.
ColleenHuberNMD Good, they should sue them. They should sue everyone who is pushing this face mask farce!
What fools...They only want to protect their kids for them
STUPID STUPID PEOPLE!!!!
In a sane world the judge would throw the case out on sight.
People with nothing better to do. What a waste of tax payer money
Same parents probably will take their kids SAT tests and bribe their way into colleges? Too many crazy people now. Need educated people. Vote.
Those parents are morons!
Let their children get Covid. Give those parents what they want!
Patients dont get the treatment Trump got and thats why so many die. Remdesivir corticoateroids given TOO LATE IF AT ALL
Idiots.
A group of parents in Florida are idiots. Just like being required to vaccinate to attend school, you had the right to choose not to have them wear masks, and keep them the fuck at home. 🤷🏻♂️
I bet they had to wear seat belts on their way to school too! Oh no!
Why doesn’t each county open a no mask campus and all the kids and teachers who don’t want to wear a mask can go there. Then we can see which method works. My kid can use as this years science fair project.
Not a smart move, then schools will have remote learning for all.
Good for these Parents! Keep fighting!
Foolish people with there children's health
I have grandsons with asthma and they wear mask. Hmmm.4 and 6 years olds terrible allergies and wear mask. Y’all so full of it.
🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ people
It's for their health what is wrong with you people
OMG!! Like we don't have enough drama with COVID-19!! Now the liability attorneys are being brought in!!
Stupid people shouldn’t breed.
Pathetic to think there are parents putting politics or their idolation of Trump over the health and safety of their children and any older folks they might interact with. This is where Trump has led us. Separating families, dividing our communities. Vote him out.
Selfish idiots
Seriously what idiots
Unbelievable. What’s wrong with people.
Ugh! Keep your human Petri dishes home!
This is America the judge will decide if it's right or wrong. Ask Italy if Mask mandates work? Mass are for sick healthcare workers and the vulnerable period.
Covidiots.
Just cut Florida loose, and let it drift on eastwards, into The Bermuda Triangle...
Recommendations aren’t law
And if the schools are closed because of covid their rights of education were equal ? 🤔😂
Masks are the most sensible, and least disruptive of normal life behaviors to engage in during the pandemic. Hopefully after November 3rd, cockroaches like these parents will scurry back to the darkness where they belong.
I’d say having parents who are this intellectually deficient is of greater concern for these kids, especially long term. The “Muh freedumz” crowd obviously doesn’t care about their children much less other people’s.
What's the cure for stupid?
Yet they have no problems with regs and laws requiring surgeons, dentists, etc from having to wear masks at their places of work
What in the San hill is wrong with Florida residents Can they really be that dumb?
Florida
What’s wrong with these people ?
White gop voters are truly ignorant and devolving.
Amen
THOSE PARENTS ARE IDIOTS!
The idea that wearing a mask would make allergies worse goes against all good sense. I have a child with allergies and hers are better because she’s not breathing in allergens every time she steps outside the house.
Perfect timing right in sync with the 3rd wave. Trump logic.
Good luck ignorant people.
Clowns
Do these same parents tell their 16yr olds they don’t need to wear a seat belt?
Let’s just do it already
🙄
Some people’s Karent’s.
What a shithole state. Seriously. What the fuck. Any of my Florida friends tired of living in a humid and moist version of Mad Max, you're welcome to all the legal weed we got here in California.
Oh no Joe. Pick up the laptop.
First, anti-vaxxers, now anti-face maskers. Sigh.
Ah yes, Florida... making America great again. 🙄🤭
Selfish morons all.
What a buch of whiny loser parents
Wonder if they sued when they made it a law for children to be in car seats or seatbelts
Why on Earth is that worth the money or time?
Let’s just give them all a participation trophy and call it a day
Same parents who don’t believe in vaccinations for their kids
Well you know it's Florida. A lot of these folks in Red state are trump supporters. They feel privileged in that area. Unfortunately, this is what we Floridians have to live with even though we're drowning in Coronavirus. But, I'm hoping this gets thrown out. Safety comes first.
Double-digit Trump supporters, no doubt.
If the students weren't required to wear masks, there would be a group of parents suing the school board for the preventable rise in virus cases among students.
This is how I imagined those people feeling once they knew they had “stuck it to the man” 🤦🏼♂️
If you think a face mask is going to keep you from catching a cold you might want to grab a clue. Lmao Who is that dumb?
Hard to defend stupid.
Imagine hating your kids this much.
Florida, sounds about right 🙄
Then they will be the brunt of law suits when contact tracing zeros back into them when ppl die as a result of their arrogance.
Tampa Bay region. Needs its own statehood.
More nut jobs.
They are spending a lot of money to try to infect people with a disease. And they are going to lose
Idiots
Killing your family friends teachers and neighbors to own the libs
Ah....Florida.
wtf is wrong with americans 😩
Some parents should not be parents
Sue the parents for neglect. Also for willfully disobeying a law/mandate/school policy, also inciting dissidence and disrupting school schedules. Morons.
Who are you? And you are tweeting this story why?
Florida parents at that school would rather their kids die than wear masks? Huh? Could they possibly be trump cult followers? Stop this child abuse. Vote.
But children are “forced” to stand and pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth? 🇺🇸
Are they antivaxers too? Those who rush headlong into a burning building without protection do so at their peril. I recognize their right to an opinion. But I find stupidity repulsive. What doctor would perform surgery without protection against pathogens? Same principle.
Remember, half of all people are below average intelligence. That where this nonsense comes from
Sarasota County parents don’t have a corner on the stupidity market...protect yourself, your children and others...wear a fricking mask.
Some people just shouldn't be having more people.
Masks and gloves are horrible! They keep you free of Covid-19 and becoming apart of the worldwide fatality rate! Nobody needs that!
What’s the point of those kids going to school if they go home to idiots for the rest of the day?
These people are idiots.
fucking Florida for the win
Stupid, childish people. Then they will sue the school for exposing their children to the virus.
Covidiots
Dear parents who are suing... go to hell
Then remove the kids from public school and send them to private school. Let's see how fast the get over the mask when they see the bill.
无权强制。
Lmao good luck assholes
🤬🤬🤬🤬
COVIDIOTS
People are dumb in America and getting dumber each year because of Fakebook and Twitter! After Biden wins,I'm off this shit! I QuitFacebook 6 years ago!
THEY ARE COIDIOTS
Idiots
Covid idiots
What kind of parent does not want to do everything in their power to keep their kids safe? Sure, arm the teachers with AR 15’s but masks are way to radical a safety idea.
I’m a big fan of personal freedom . I wear a mask out of respect for others when I can’t social distance. Don’t want to freak anyone out. Not afraid of virus but take some precautions.
Oh FFS.
Stupidity abounds. Masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19. I guess these parents want their kids to get sick.
Trumpers
🤦🏿🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏾🤦🏼♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏻♀️
Sounds like a bunch of Karen's with to much extra time on their hands.
these people are why covid will be around
Well done those parents.
Let's see how long it takes for those kids to infect and kill their families... COVID19
Fucking Florida.
Fuck em
On brand for Florida
Sue if they wear them. Sue if they don’t. Lose lose situation
They feel safer with guns, but not masks. Ok.
All our education shortcomings are actually killing us now.
That is of course the “other Florida”... It’s where the less educated and fake “christians” live. Here in south Florida we pay for/carry the rest of the state, have the greatest population & pay the most taxes. Why the f*ck are masks a political issue? They aren’t!
And I'll wager these parents voted for and will vote for Trump, no doubt at all.
The fucktardery of Floridians never ceases to amaze me.
