Ron DeSantis Takes His Hatred of Mask Mandates to a New Level

What, me worry? Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty Images As Florida contends with a massive surge in COVID cases, Governor Ron DeSantis seems devoted to making it more difficult to stop the spread in public schools.

Many Florida school districts have indeed imposed mask mandates, but most are unlikely to run afoul of DeSantis, since they provide carve-outs for parents who don’t want to comply. Christina Pushaw, a spokeswoman for DeSantis, said on Twitter that the penalties DeSantis is threatening wouldn’t apply to such schools. Those that require a doctor’s note to opt out, though, could be in the crosshairs.

Florida, meanwhile, is getting slammed with the virus. Though it is more vaccinated than many states in the South, with about 50 percent of its population fully inoculated, it is seeing its biggest surge cases throughout the pandemic, with upward of 20,000 a day, per the CDC. It is also experiencing record hospitalizations.

The endgame is protecting his presidential bid. That’s it. Full stop. Everything else is collateral damage. He give zero fucks about the lives of Floridians.

Good for you Ron don’t take no shit

Good. If they don't like it they can build their own Florida...or learn to code....

not a Tyrant TomiLahren

Ask yourself why a Yale/Harvard graduate who has become a Governor of a popular state would go this far if the stats didn’t say it will work? Unless a large percentage of the population of Fla’s children die of Covid this is a winning strategy.
