DeSantis files emergency appeal after judge says Florida must allow school mask mandates

Cooper said the state had failed to prove that an appeal would be successful and failed to prove that delaying his order was necessary to avoid irreparable harm.

"We are not in normal times. We are in a pandemic. We have children that can't be protected by vaccination," Cooper said in court, according toThe 41-page emergency appeal asks the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal to intervene and reinstate the automatic stay of Cooper's ruling, pending completion of the broader appeal.

"The adequate level of safety in schools and other public settings is a political question reserved entirely for elected representatives who are publicly accountable," the emergency appeal said. Taryn Fenske, DeSantis' communications director, said in an emailed statement Thursday:"No surprise here that Judge Cooper concluded that he is unlikely to be overruled on appeal.

"We disagree. Yesterday we filed our emergency motion to reinstate the stay, and we anticipate the appellate court will rule quickly, much like during the school re-opening case last year."

WTF is wrong with this guy? Is pandering to the lowest common denominator somehow going to assure him continued success? I sincerely hope not.

Florida man

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Why?

Florida is doomed

Do you have my support

Why does it seem like the governors of Florida and Texas are trying outdo each other to see who can up with the most disgusting, heartless and incompetent legislation ever? RonDeSantisFL GregAbbott_TX Fla_Pol

No mask no school. Can the school board block students out like some of the Universities are doing that was upheld in the courts. My daughter teaches at a Tier 1 school last year all the principal could do is strongly advise them to get vaccinated POTUS thank you

This man really wants to die on this hill.

He doesn’t profit unless u and your children get infected with COVID ..his plan and his profits rely on his “medicine” cure

I have never seen someone work so hard to maintain 'profits over people'.

With is wrong with this CHILD posing as a leader?!

The FL budget all going to litigation over the most outrageous legislation. In competition with Abbott in TX.

DeSantis is hell bent on harming the people in Florida.

Does he not realize that it is his base that is dying!? Seriously, what gives with them and their tired, pernicious rhetoric?
