Doubling down on the anti-mask stance, the Department of Health rule issued Friday states that students “may wear masks or facial coverings” but also said that parents can opt their children out of wearing masks. The rule laughably says that it is designed to “protect children with disabilities or health conditions” — those likely to be the most vulnerable to the virus — who might be “harmed” by masking protocols.
DeSantis is not just endangering Florida children, he’s also bragging about it and using it to fundraise. The governor has traveled to Michigan this week to hold a number of fundraisers. DeSantis is expected to make a presidential run in 2024.
i have four nieces/nephews in public school in FL. This is BS
I’ve never thought people were freaking this dumb until now. I guess we are never getting out of this.
100% fakenews he is leaving it up to the PARENTS to choose what's best for their children.
Couldn't be because masks don't actually do anything to prevent the transmission of the virus. Wearing a mask is equivalent to most Democratic policies. They don't actually do anything but make you feel better about yourself by thinking you are making a difference
That’s because he is irresponsible! Shame on you!
But the school his little darlings attend apparently instated a mask mandate.
The comments on here are frightening in their stupidity
jraizen Deathsantis wants to be president. Did he not get the memo Trump lost?
Van_Firth Just the kind of maroon the gQp like.
Now THAT’S an accurate headline.
RonDeSantisFL HE. DOES. NOT. CARE. Running for President.
Masks don't work. They have had no beneficial impact. No one is forbidden from wearing one. If you want to wear one, wear it. He's just not allowing schools to force them on kids.
LOL. Stick to music and faking rape stories. Florida is a large state (2nd biggest in pop.) and its covid surge happens in summer. The number of kids in hospitals (most check out same day) is less than 150.
Liars.. you should be sued for false information. But keep spreading fake pics around. No one believes you
50 million kids under 12 are not vaccinated. If school is a priority, vaccines for kids should have been a priority. And mandates and masks for everyone. Provide remote school for all kids now and have them repeat a year, no trauma/drama. Kids need to be living to be learning.
DeSatan is sacrificing children for political gain. Where’s Q when you need him/her? TheEndIsNear
PrOLiFe tho- 😒

Ya, you guys can sit this one out:
Gracie_Raw DeSantis’ road to The White House is being paved with the corpses of Floridians.
Thank you for highlighting this idiocy!
GovRonDeSantis is PRO DEATH and will be the cause of more death and suffering of children than can be imagined.
As George Takei said , he should be known as Ron Death Sentence - the voters can weigh in if they have a preference.
gov.who hell-bent to get reelected in '22. Invertebrate complicit Racist party legislature is consigning FL ppl to agonizing death. Short of a hurricane levelling Floriduh, pray existing filed lawsuits lead to immediate judicial intervention or injunction. Jesus wept- John 11:35
Why's Kevin McCarthy there?
He looks very sick👹
Knock, knock Who's there? GovernorWho! GovernorDeathSantis, that's who!
There’s far more kids in the hospital during the winter months with the RSV (cold) virus than with Covid and nobody masks up then. Or for the flu which is far more dangerous to catch for kids than Covid
Rolling Stone got their marching orders... hacks
tomaskenn He’s happy to sacrifice our kids to appeal to his base.
This you?
DeathSantis wants to kill our kids. VoteHimOut Florida
DeSantis is the crown prince of the GOP death cult.

A+ headline work.
DeSantisvariant
Not one single child has been hospitalized because they wore a mask. Not one.
Mistake in this article. There are not 13,400 kids currently hospitalized in Florida.
Pajjr2016 This shit makes no sense what so ever.
Pajjr2016 Will DeSantis ban the use of insulin next or maybe chemotherapy?
The interesting thing is those kids should have had the vaccine 12 and up can get it,36% of the cases in children are patients between the ages of 14 and 17, according to Florida's data. That age group also accounts for the majority of children hospitalized (34%).
By all means Mr. Media please just give the guy another microphone & national platform so he can continue to spew his hatred into the air then get more people killed by the virus. Please don't correct him by telling him this is all his fault & NOT the radical left's.
DeSantis should be criminally charged with deaths of any children and or Adults in his state.......This is nothing short of genocide
Death is his game and DeSantis is his name.
Full on mass murderer. No lie.
Would Jesus be fighting to Ban School Mask Mandates during a deadly Pandemic?
School starts in Florida this week. Thoughts and prayers for the innocent school-aged children.

I wouldn't put DeSantis in charge of a lemonade stand. Shit...I mean what the fuck is scientific about politics? It's all hearsay and conjecture. Are you gonna tell me that politics exist on the atomic/molecular/cellular level? NoEducationNoOpinion
And GovRonDeSantis is PROUD of it! DeathByDeSantis
double_atheist Why doesn’t he ban buckling them up in car seats too?🙄
Are cases really the best metric or are deaths?

covid is a scam!
insurance companies should immediately raise the premiums of anyone unable to show proof of vaccination
It's pretty obvious that Desantis doesn't care about our kids. I wonder if he would be sending his children to school maskless?

WaPo and NYT: this is how to create a headline. Quit 'both sides'-ing this one sided issue.
Fat Hitler
Sadly, these reads like an Onion headline, but it's true.
What the fuck is wrong with your country?
They’re here for all Floridians
Meanwhile...he's vaccinated. Let that sink in...He is vaccinated. Children under 12 are not!
But he’s pro-life?! Ridiculous.
GOPDeathCult
And he is still Gov. Thats power!! Democrats need to learn how to fight like a RepubliQan!!
If RonDeSantisFL GregAbbott_TX GOPLeader trio was a band, they’d be called Merchants Of Death.
Florida people voted for him. Voting has consequences. He is being consistent with GQP principles.
Perfect headline
That’s how you write a headline
Kid killers and they look the part.

The dude cares more about the money spent at beach-side T-shirt shops and Tikki bars than he does about elementary school-age children.
Arrogant moron.
TexansRevolt And Desantis is threatening to not give the education funding until they do what he says 🤮🤮
The people who say they hate big government actually really love dominating authoritarian government.
Its just a mask. Who gives a shit? If theyre right about masks - great. You’re helping prevent the spread. If theyre wrong about masks - oh well you’re only wearing a mask. No big deal.
You have kids you are responsible for them. Not the government. Maybe one day you will understand when your head is removed from your backside
Wow when are you clowns going to start holding the parents responsible for their children. This magazine has become nothing more than an idiot outlet. Use to be a decent magazine but now is just full of blaming others for the BS going on. People need to start being responsible
Covid?......you 100% sure? Really?
It'll be interesting watching him try to get elected for anything again.

Asians kids’ academic achievements never suffered from wearing masks . From preschool on Asians regularly wear masks due to metro’s pollution and density of cities. So what’s this talk of masks stunting brain development? Maybe your kid doesn’t study much and it’s not the mask?
Affected families need to sue in class action suit in every state against governors who acted against CDC guidelines for dereliction of duty and all relevant criminal charges. DeSantis and Abbott have been most defiant and negligent.
WHO cares about a deadly pandemic killing kids…. BUT if the kids get lice….🤡 GovRonDeSantis ☠️ NOT good for the kids NOT good for their parents NOT good for FLORIDA….
Did the TheOnion Hack your account?
Good luck in the general buddy
