Florida sanctions school districts for mandating that students wear masks

The actual penalties by the board, which comprises DeSantis appointees, are yet to be determined, but the votes marked the first punishments for districts that chose to mandate masks amid a surge in Covid cases from the delta variant of the coronavirus as the school year gets underway.

School officials defended the mandates at a more-than-two-hour hearing, saying they were the best way to limit the spread of Covid in their districts short of vaccination. Children younger than 12 are not eligible to be vaccinated.

They’re defunding schools ladies and gents! And thousands of kids already in quarantine lol

Dade county waffled

What is WRONG with these people!?

I;d love to see anyone on MSNBC interview DeSantis, Abbott or both...anyone, that os, except Chuck Todd

Is it that no one can wear a mask in school or is it that the school can't force anyone to wear one?

Special place!

GQP DEATHCULT!

Can anyone say Toxic Masculinity. Desantis is trying to make Florida into a mini dictatorship. He thinks Florida is his own little country. Punishing people that don't cling to his every word and mandate. These runaway governors need to be reigned in federally.

How about sanctioning GovRonDeSantis maybe impeachment for failure to perform his job and killing Floridians

So stupid and harmful for kids

This chaos is why a lack of leadership is so harmful…the state is floundering and they are more concerned about pissing contests.

Florida

What happened to freedom?

I think we should threaten a national boycott of all Florida products, no Disney trips et.cet, until the Gov lets the parents mask up the schools. $$$ talks. No masks, no business.

Florida political decisions don't bother me. Without Florida, where would our mentally ill go?

They just keep trying to put children in danger. I do not understand this.

I wouldn't want to be a member of that School Board ATM, given the massive class action suit and jailtime for this coming.

Fighting for your own life and that of your students--of children!--is now 'sanctionable' in Florida and several other states governed by vindictive, stupid, confused madmen.

GovRonDeSantis We don't care. We want an investigation into you and the money you're getting from your Remdesiver investing buddy who gives you $5 million a year. Oh buddy, you in trouble now with pushing that drug cocktail now.
