GOP governors, school districts battle over mask mandates

The three states are all hot spots in the nation’s recent COVID-19 surge, and defiant boards in Miami, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix and other urban areas argue that requiring masks protects students, teachers and staff from contracting and spreading the virus asThe districts often cite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommends teachers, staff and students all wear masks regardless of whether they’ve been vaccinated.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in a July executive order barring masks, cited a Brown University study that examined schools in New York, Florida and Massachusetts. He said it showed masks at schools made little difference, but it had a caveat he doesn’t cite: It analyzed cases associated with schools and not cases spread in schools.

“There is lots of evidence that supports masking and there is no evidence that it causes any harm,” she said. “Children are much more adaptable than adults are.” Save Our Schools, an Arizona group that successfully repealed a statewide voucher program, said Ducey is trying to use COVID-19 to restore public funding of private schools.the state’s biggest districts, including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin, are all defying Abbott and requiring masks. Abbott, who recently tested positive for the virus, is fighting the districts in court, but they aren’t budging.

“Forcing young kids to wear masks all day, these kindergartners, having the government to force them, that’s not defying me; that is defying the State of Florida’s laws,” DeSantis said this week. “This is not something we are making up.”

This is not Democrat v Republican. This is enlightened v dark ages. Smart v stupid.

That is why private schools DOMINATE In Democratic led cities. Nothing new here

Good. That won’t kill them. Covid will

Good! About time someone puts health over politics!

Now let’s see state-wide class action lawsuits to empty the coffers of the republiKKKan garbage from top to bottom. Leave them with nothing because that’s how they treat others. 👍

Democrats. 2022

The fact that this contagious disease became so politically polarizing is the last proof I need that the USA is doomed as a country. I’ll probably live to see it collapse into a state of total humiliation.

It is good to know that school administrators, tasked with taking care of kids, are infinitely smarter than the imbeciles that get elected to higher offices.

🤦🏾🙏🏾🌍😷

and with the support of local health officials

we live under a great number of hygiene mandates. Why people flip out over a mask is beyond me. Are all these anti maskers going to stop brushing their teeth or changing their underwear everyday? Apparently all our mothers were Fascists for making us wash.

It’s to save their life

Forget politics do it to save your own damn lives

Texas School District Works Masks Into The Dress Code To Bypass BanTexas School District Works Masks Into The Dress Code To Bypass Ban “A Texas school district found a creative way around Governor Abbott’s ridiculous mask mandate ban.” 👏👏 I think there is a movement toward independent schools among Texas liberals, based on a very unscientific poll of my friends who think I'm a genius for sending my kid to a school with the same strict mask policy from last year that Abbott can't touch.
