Leon County Circuit Judge John C. Cooper agreed with a group of parents who claimed in a lawsuit that DeSantis’ order is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced. The governor’s order gave parents the sole right to decide if their child wears a mask at school.His decision came after a three-day virtual hearing, and after at least 10 Florida school boards voted to defy DeSantis and impose mask requirements with no parental opt-out.
“We don’t have that right because exercising the right in that way is harmful or potentially harmful to other people,” Cooper said. He added that the law “is full of examples of rights that are limited the good of others ... would be adversely affected by those rights.” The school districts that have defied Santis’ order represent slightly more than half of the 2.8 million Florida public school students enrolled this year. DeSantis, a Republican who is eyeing a possible presidential run in 2024, had threatened to impose financial penalties on school boards that vote for strict mask mandates. Democratic President Joe Biden has said if that happens, federal money will be used to cover any costs.
The state had given Broward and Alachua counties until Tuesday to end their mask mandates. Broward’s students began school a week ago with a mask policy in place.
For a guy who spits a ton of rhetoric about there should be less government involvement GovRonDeSantis sure does stick his nose in a lot of local s**t
They need do this in Arizona as well. dougducey is giving $1800 per student to schools that do NOT wear masks... some are doing it too. Wonder how many think their kid is worth $1800... 😡
I am thankful for the ruling of the Judge that will save many lives! When it comes to be keeping people safe from this VIRIS, Ron DESANTIS seems to be acting like a Praying MANĪTS!

GOP governor clowns trying to keep certain elements happy. Without thinking of safety. Good job justice!
Codnugget777 Judge put mr fancy pants in his place. I knew that would happen. Thanks Judge!
I’m anti-mandate…but I’m also anti-overreach. DeSantis was overreaching with this action. Local governments should be able to make their own decision on this matter.
About time someone is putting the safety of our children first bc it doesn’t appear like the Governor is
At this point haven't we all found a comfortable mask for our kids? Mine complain about homework and what I gave them for snack, not masks.
Hey ron how many headstones get you elected. Get a job
It’s really sad when Americans have to take their Governor to court to protect themselves🤔GregAbbott_TX GovRonDeSantis
CDC NIH POTUS IHaveRightsVaxxed
I don’t understand the strategy… why let your voter die off, who the fuck is going to vote for you?!? but in all honestly his voters could nearly die, but they’ll still vote for him after… cause you know, party over country. Lame.
Wake up Florida get rid of this guy and things will get better almost instantly
Really can't stand him trying to figure out why Florida does .
Group of parents, lol.
I guess we’re moving again!
Thank God!
Criminal.

Judge is a leftist hippie.

DeSantis is begging, please judge, I invested a lot of money in regeneron and I need my constituents to get covid to get the Regeneron treatment. They could wear masks and get free vaccinations but my I don’t want that, I need them to get covid for my investment to pay off.
RonDeSantisFL GovRonDeSantis In your drunken face!
Good and especially because Florida just reported the most new COVID-19 cases of the pandemic to the CDCgov : 27,584.
Same goes with mask mandates
?
So it is unconstitutional to remove rights from people you disagree with? Yup sounds about right with this ilk that are a okay with this China Sock puppet group giving a hit list of American's, SIV and Allies not just names mind you they gave the TALIBAN their Bio-metricks
LiberalWarrior_ DeSantis needs to stop working against the Constitution, against the restraints of his position as governor, against science & best practices. It’s time for a change in Florida. NikkiFried
Someone please send a bill (including penalty) to DeathSantis' campaign for the legal and administrative fees associated with defending his ridiculous executive order.
Now let's vote this lower out of office and elect Charlie Crist
There is a reason this is my mask.
✨🙏✨
A Federal judge should rule that all school districts in the nation may impose mask mandates. While we're playing 'Whack a Mole' with these GOP governors, thousands of school children, their parents & teachers across the nation are at risk. Mask mandates should be universal now.
Look. GovRonDeSantis wants COVID running wild in FL. So people go to all his RegeneRON Sites. He needs to pay back his Biggest Donor.
BigDummyDeSantis
Well there goes your 2024 Presidential run….the attack ads wrote themselves in Florida lol
Thank you, God. Classroom management depends on consistency. If the rules don’t apply to everyone, it’s chaos.
People who won't wear masks are idiots. There should be mandates. I have family that are complete idiots and they send their kids to school while the whole house has covid. Everywhere they have gone in the last 2 weeks they have spread it. They won't wear masks and they dont care
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
In other words, Judge Cooper said ….. DeSantis GovsforCovid
LOL GovRonDeSantis
critic99 💯‼️😷🤣
More nonsense...
GovRonDeSantis is a dictator and grifter posing as a governor. He's allowing the spread of COVID to make money off of Regeneron. Maybe there should be a law that removes reps who knowingly put their constituents in harm's way for profit. Name it after DeSantis. RegeneronRon
GovDeathSantis. Crash & Burn!! Let the professionals do their jobs, go home, sulk, then announce your retirement from public office. Save you the embarrassment of losing the election that you are not qualified for anyway.
Don't let the GOP/DEMs tell U the 3.5T PLAN is too BIG-we have been SPENDing 300M a DAY in Afghanistan 4-20 YRS.RBReich. Pfizer VAC is FDA Approved-Tattoo ink is NOT. 965Exitos NaynMusic repjacoby LationUnited ddlovato UnanimoMiami990 taybabybaby420
Political decision. The mandates themselves are unconstitutional.
Isn’t this the group of special education parents that brought the suit?
DeSantis' political calculation is that he wins either way ... School districts will do the right thing to protect kids in spite of his posturing, yet come election season he can still tell his freedumb-lovin' supporters that he 'fought for their freedoms'.
“Every problem cannot be solved in a courtroom. Some are solved in the ballot box,” Cooper said.
OMG!!!!!!! Great news for kids health!
