Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey said Tuesday that the state would use federal Covid relief money to increase the funding available to public school districts only if they're open for in-person learning and don't require children to wear masks.
To be eligible for the grant funding -- $163 million in total -- Arizona school districts must be open for in-person learning as of August 27 and must be"following all state laws," including the ban on school mask mandates that Ducey signed into law in June. "Parents are in the driver's seat, and it's their right to make decisions that best fit the needs of their children.
Governor you’ve been standing in the sun too long
Blackmail at its highest.
I hope he puts aside funds for ice units and respirators
What a 🤡🤡🤡. I call this blackmail
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws....Plato
As a gay liberal I’m so ashamed of myself for finding you kinda sexy.
Very American to dedicate covid relief money to making sure people get covid
Can't believe it
Return the money
Shameful...
Another person who prioritize their ambitions instead the safety of his constituents especially innocent children 😭
It’s in his name. The guy is a steaming pile of Ducey. He’ll give schools extra money only if they put their students and teachers at health/lives at risk? He should ask the Governor of TX about that Covid thing. Apparently, stupidity runs rampant in the Governor’s of the South.
POTUS WhiteHouse these barbaric murderers for profit need to be put in their place soon. they are killing innocent children to make profits from regeneron . this is sick, twisted, and inhumane on all levels. they are going to kill us all if you don't act.
So, he's using COVID relief money to discourage people from taking precautions against COVID? Hope this state remembers this at reelection.
He isn't called 'Sir Dougie the Child-Slayer' for no reason. GOP TheDemocrats AZSenateGOP AZSenateDems AZGOP azdemparty AZHouseGOP AZHouseDems dougducey FannKfann
Yeah good luck with that. It’s FEDERAL funding.
So let me get this straight..... hes gona pull funding away from schools that wants to keep infection rate down ... and its with COVID relief money.... WTF is happening here
All these people in leadership role who have access to the top medical amd public health advisors, ignoring their advice and forcing schools to open without masks just out of political expediency should be held responsible for all deaths that will happen in the next few months !

Ducey is a Pucey.
Tell him to get a life
AZ Remember that the GOP is causing this
baby killer
Hey, people of Arizona, exclude this guy when you vote next time
How about we base governors’ pay on the number of Covid cases in their state?
Arizona ! Madness from the heat .
GOP = Childkillers
Typical , it's all all about money it always is.
Wow that is the most ignorant thing ever!!!
Here you go Arizona you do not have to worry about Demercats taking your freedom your Republican Governor is doing it all by his self. He is taxing your taxes for school and telling everyone of you if you wear a mask you all will not get no funding. Do you feel good?
The Federal government should ask for their money back.
Uh, pretty sure they shouldn’t get that federal funding…
And when the virus spreads, they will blame Biden.
Another reason not to live in Arizona
What a poo bucket only if kids risk getting sick. Poor excuse for a governor
Wow. What did children ever do to him. Maybe he needs a big hug from his parents.
Ahh yes the party of “small government”
This makes 0 sense 🤦♀️
To big of a chance to take. Stop the spread anyway we can!
It sounds to me like you're black mailing the schools into submission. We don't have enought teachers that don't really receive a good pay to start with and you really want to do this? All you politicians are just going to chase away the education from the kids
Ducey, kill your kids but leave ours alone! You are not fit to be governer!
It doesn’t make any sense. Why is the mask such a big issue?
The risk goes beyond the money. The funds ought to be channeled in tech training, coaching, and other assets to improve teacher performance.
There is no greater threat to our children, our country, and our democracy than republicans.
I wish he was this concerned about guns!
Jealous of DeSantis and Abbott for shittiest, most irresponsible Governor?
This is malfeasance.
All he's doing is padding his pockets & killing the people of Arizona
Thinning of the herd to own the libs
This guy is the best. I love it when people speak up and stop the madness. Child mortality rate is. 004% Since when can anybody trust our government. Trust us we'll get out of Afghanistan. The Border nothing to here. Wear two mask. IDIOTS
Get him to explain his logic, without him says Trump told him to do this. Also.make him personally liable for any deaths caused by his decision to not follow CDC guidance on Civid prevention.
Disgusting.
The increase in stupid people in the US, particularly in government, is astounding 🇨🇦
Why is there not a law to keep them from holding funds to some people over others?
Idiot!
Don't want to get vaccinated or wear masks. Send them over the countries that desperately need them then maybe we can turn this pandemic around and the only nation the world has to worry about is the USA.
RecallDucey
Stop the war on children. dougducey
They should be the only districts that get grants, schools must set the health and safety of students first before improving education, a sick person cannot learn & a moral person protects others GetVaccinated WearAMask
Two minute penalty for being a horses arse…
We need to stop calling anti mask Governor activists “politically motivated.” They are criminally motivated. Plain and simple! There’s nothing political about using a pandemic to kill people
covidiot
Fox News obviously trained him.
Nope.
I truly do not understand these people. How sick a person are you when you want to expose children to risk. Shameful!
Is he sending his own kids to school on this basis?
dougducey is playing a dangerous game with the lives of Arizona children. The youngest Delta variant victim on a ventilator in my state was 1 month old and our chikdren’s hospital hasn’t had an empty ICU bed in WEEKS. Children WILL die. Don’t let it be yours.
What’s wrong with these people?
Pathetic
mining is the production of Bitcoin you can earn 5k in 2weeks start mining send a DM to get started.
How is this suit even legal?
Baby world news Al Qaeda members said they celebrated the Taliban's control of Afghanistan.
Another shakedown?
Baby world news Malala Yousafzai, the youngest woman in Afghanistan, reiterated to U.S. President Joe Biden that the U.S. has much to do.
What is wrong with these GOP PEOPLE? They get vaccinated then screw over everyone else
Not smart.
Beyond despicable
Take a few minutes to search for Hussein. If you do not have a religion, at least be free Hussein
Remember when leaders used to be educated people?
Ducey is a dick
Irresponsible,dangerous and not fair to children who are too young for vaccines and too young to speak for themselves!! Why are politicians who think it is clever to pretend that vaccines and masks are not needed allowed to make decisions about the lives of innocent children?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 everything to sabotage the federal government even if it means people dying
Another baffoon!
I don't get how these governors can legally do this. Can't Biden sign an executive order to over ride them
His emoji going change 1 Wk
The way the American political system uses money as a weapon is disgusting.
Can't wait to see him get sued
The Taliban taking over Afghanistan is like America would be taken over by the GOP, NAZI’s, Evangelists, Racists, homophobes, etc, all of which are the bottom 30%
Wow federal money, our tax dollars , just sitting idle. Hey Landlords, the money that supposed to supplement you during the moratorium is there… tied up in state government BS.
Well, the race now has a third jackass coming out of the gate! Will he be able to overtake Abbott and DeSantis? Looks like he's starting late but giving it everything he's got!
Voted for Doug but didn't like some of the paths he went down including pandering to Trump until he turned on him like all and certainly despise this one as a parent during a pandemic. Unfortunately not concerned with reelection having termed out and it shows through his actions
This is terrible way to govern your people. Time for recall
It’s past time for these governors to be put into re-education camps.
Nothing like dangling money over your kids education if you don’t OBEY republicans demands. I bet republican citizens love their republican representatives
See he likes to use blackmail tactics just like DeSantis😡
Ah another member of the RRTDC! 'Republician Right to die cult' Their Motto- 'Take as many as we can, with us!'
No one believes CNN news
He is probably getting money from that Covid treatment. They gotta make that money no matter who suffers even kids. They should use that funding to help them develop moral values.
I swear, here in New Mexico, I'm surrounded by idiots.
Good for him! Standing up for FREEDOM? Crazy!!!
This despite the fact 120,000 children have now tested positive recently the highest number ever! The delta variant is targeting our children and all he cares about is his political career&Blackmailing school districts that need the funds
So dumb
Can he even do that? What a sick person!
Good. Reward good, sane behavior.
Karma gonna get u
The federal government should not allow this.
Douchey Ducey
Using covid relief money to spread covid to our kids. cool.
Party of freedom... but only their's
He should be made to attend the funeral of the next child that dies.
I predict the Biden Admin. will bypass this Ducey and get the aid to the schools directly.
' These Grant's acknowledge efforts by schools and educators that are following state laws and keeping their classroom doors open for Arizona's students '.
Schools with no mask mandates and safety protocols will shut down in a week. Guaranteed. Good luck with that Governor.

Thank god
Can this people be held liable if kids start getting sick and die because the no mask mandate
WHY DONT THEY WANT THE KIDS TO WEAR MASK
So he’s gonna cut off funding for schools that have to go back to remote learning because there are too many covid cases in his schools because he refused to allow his school systems to enforce mask mandates
That’s disgusting.
Yah the Biden administration will love that.
What is the big deal with masks….just don’t get it🧐 Seatbelts, bike helmets, security check at airports…
