Florida's largest school district to require masks, Says f___ you DeSantis

The school board in Florida's largest school district voted Wednesday to require masks for students and teachers when schools reopen next week amid rising Delta-variant COVID-19 cases.

Why it matters: The mask mandate, which allows for medical exemptions, makes Miami-Dade the latest Florida school district to defy Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who issued an executive order that effectively prohibits school districts from imposing mask mandates and threatens to cut funding of those who do.

Driving the news: The Miami-Dade County School Board voted 7-1 in favor of requiring students and staff to wear masks in schools.

A task force of medical experts advising the Miami-Dade school district on Monday recommended that schools require masks amid rising COVID-19 cases, per the Miami Herald.

... will not be the people who die and suffer on their watch, it will be their obvious political weakness as they are unable to force their policies on people with sense.

Murder is OK with the base, weakness is inexcusable.
