Court rules for Florida governor, reinstates ban on mask mandates in state's schools

Source: Reuters

(Reuters) - A Florida appeals court ruled on Friday in favor of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, issuing a stay in a case that effectively reinstates his ban on mask mandates in the state's public schools to the dismay of many parents and teachers.

School and health officials have battled with governors and other officials in what has become a politicized tussle over COVID-19 precautions.

-snip-

Friday's ruling was by the First District Court of Appeals.

Charles Gallagher, the lead attorney for a group of parents suing the state, wrote on Twitter: "We are disappointed by the ruling of the 1st DCA that reinstates the stay and will be seeking pass through jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Florida since this matter involves statewide issues. With a stay in place, students, parents and teachers are back in harm’s way."

the school are compensated based on attendance.
If Florida works the same, just boycott the schools.
Starve them out!
Google and Wiki are good teachers.
Works for my old butt!

I feel for those kids who are too young to be vaccinated. And I feel for fully vaccinated teachers in Florida who might get breakthrough infections and who have underlying conditions. I do not feel for those eligible for a vaccine who have not got one.

Will this truth be allowed to be taught as Critical Race theory? Oh right, this is the content that would psychologically harm our children. Not gun drills. This is more like. Critical Race Fact. Can’t have that is our God Bless AmurKKKa propaganda day cares, some call em schools. Just K-12 child care. Imagine the history classes the indigenous people had to listen to in the forced white man schools and churches. That’s where Fox’s roots began. Great great great great grandad Murdock was the Secretary of Education over those schools.

Back and forth. Yes you can ban them, no you can’t. Our courts are divided.

The court was 4-3 for liberals before he took office. Three liberals were forced into mandatory retirement and Death Sentence was able to replace them with 3 hard-core cons. The vote will likely be 6 to 1 in favor of banning mandates. The governor, the Florida Supreme Court, and the Fl legislature will all have blood on their hands and they don't care. They are nothing but evil-doers.

How does a teacher explain our court system to students when it is like watching a ping pong ball. Then reviewing the written opinion s where the opinions makes it imposible to reconcile the differences.
