A Florida appeals court rules in favor of Gov. Ron DeSantis, blocking face mask requirements in schools for now

Lawyers for Gov. Ron DeSantis filed the emergency appeal after a judge ruled on Wednesday that the state must stop its enforcement of a mask ban.The latest court ruling comes amid a showdown between the state and some local school districts that have insisted on requiring students to wear masks as Covid-19 infections surge.On August 27, Second Circuit Judge John Cooper ruled against DeSantis, allowing Florida schools to institute mask mandates while the case was appealed at a higher level.

Ron DeSantis files emergency appeal on school mask mandatesCooper ruled that DeSantis had overreached when he issued an executive order in late July directing the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Department of Health to issue emergency rules giving parents a choice on whether their children should wear masks in class.

Just goes to show how stupid our court system is they’re all Republicans now we’re in deep trouble

Who is he defending the mortuaries.

brikeilarcnn As tragic as the loss of 13 service members to an Isis bomber was, over 16 Floridians an hour have died so far this month from Covid under DeSantis’ leadership (or lack thereof).

Well in that case, people of FLORIDUH should be able to sue the Goverdunce when their kids die of covid!

This is the Florida justice dept. stupidity

So much for pro-life

It should be a choice, we have a vaccine! Those that are worried can wear a mask!

😡

Good on ya mate! Somebody with a spine to stand up for those children so they can breathe gain and actually get enough oxygen to learn at school!

When the maskless comes, the masked should leave,my kids would.

I see some dumb ass comments about stats-one child with covid or dying from covid is too much-just bc of your politics-this country is the dumbest Mf ever

Hoa dong, nghi774en tục, chan that trong tinh cam

He must have 3 covid shots like the Texas Governor

😡😡😡

What if all teachers refuse to go back to class if there is no mask mandate? Maybe, that is what should happen to force Republican politicians to start reasoning.

You have to be kidding me. That is a grave error by the court for willfully allowing people to spread the virus. Are the courts there 85 + years old? Reckless. I hope someone can challenge this decision.

Great job florida

Love all the hate for people’s freedom to choose. As soon as the government mandates something you don’t like you’ll cry and complain. Hypocrisy!!

The judicial selection system in the USA is absolutely awful.

Congrats on your big win, hope you and your Trumpies are proud you big friggin idiot🙄

Greatest Governor in the nation!!!!

Activist partisan judges!!!

Deathsantis has his kids homeschooled.

Too bad that Florida isnt reporting their covid deaths apprpriately because Dictator DeSantis doesnt want to look bad.

So when children get sick and die, can the school board sue both DeSantis and the courts?

Go ahead let all your kids get COVID

Does he have a “real family“?

GREAT A VICTORY FOR THE REAL AMERICANS. DESANTIS IS A GREAT AMERICAN.

Sue Ron for killing 48,000 Floridians

Do these people not see what they're doing to so many children who can't fight this virus and don't come at me with BS because I'm a nurse and see the destruction daily.

what a bloody shit show down there

Stupid are the people who don't believe in science in the 21st century.

Children can carry the virus asymptotically, tested positive but no sign of illness, then their parents can get the virus and may need hospitalization. This is well-known fact in a Third World country like mine, how comes some Americans deny this fact?!!!!

NEW YORK SPIKING BACK UP CUZ OF SCUMBAG FLORIDANS ARE VACATIONING NOT GIVING A SHIT NOR QUARANTINE SEEN IT MYSELF WE BITCHING HERE BIG TIME AND SOME PEOPLE MOVING BACK , STOP ALL TRAVEL IN AND OUT OF FLORIDA POTUS PLEASE WE GETTING SICK UP HERE AGAIN AND WE DO KNOW WHY .

Save the kids that have no limbs etc in wombs yet risk children already here. Wtf ? We are a twisted ass country and backwards holy shit.. whoever said America was smart .... Lied .

Y'all ready for huge outbreak in the kids. Well gear up Florida . Y'all need to be shut down BoycottFlorida

Yes we do have the right to choose.

The Appeals Court must be full of Republicans, I hope their loved ones don't get sick with the Delta Covid Virus!

He’s killed 50k people for his political ambition! This is why on 9/11, it’s a slap in the face to see we are more divided than ever thanks to people like this governor. If it happened now would people unite? deadlydesantis

Unconscionable

I'm going to sue the state of FL to eliminate school zone speed limits. Clearly safety around schools should be the decision of the individual driver.

Disgraceful

WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN FLORIDA? DID ALL THE IGNORANT REPUBLICANS MOVE THERE?

This isn’t a political statement, this is a humanity statesmen! Covid is real, mutherfkers, believe it or one day buck her! Just put your mask on, that’s all you’re tasked on, if not, from this earth, you’ll be fast gone!!

brikeilarcnn Thousand of hungry alligators in Florida and they don't want Gov. De Santis. Maybe he smells rotten to them?

Get the hell out of Florida. It is unsafe

The future of this country is highly in doubt!

GREAT JOB ! Stay informed and awake children are your least of the worries concerning spreading this flu!!! NATURAL IMMUNITY IS 1000% just a friendly reminder if the vaccine works and the mask work keep on wearing them keep on Jabbing more power to you

Why do American politicians actively put forward bills that kill the American people

This was wrong he is killing young children first thing I would demand is seeing his kids in the schools instead at home being tutored

Florida will Florida

I have heard it said that the pandemic is a war. Then who could be held accountable for the preventable deaths?

Only in the US does such drama occur

A war crime is a violation of the laws of war that gives rise to individual criminal responsibility for actions by the combatants, such as intentionally civilians! Does children count

The majority on the 1st DCA are Trump appointments!! That should have been the headlines!!

It's time for a strike, Y'all.

Did you ever notice that the lawyers seem to always make out best, this legal back and forth, more lawyer work....

New Deaths in Florida 2,448 Record high: 2,448 Sep 5–Sep 11, 2021

Sad that you put politics ahead of safety you Trump lemming!

Without face mask will be SAFE? Who said so?

DeSantis is trying to reduce the population of Florida to cut back on spending

What Florida needs is to get every single God damn Republican out of office. Starting with Marco Rubio Rick Scott and all the other House of Representatives we need to get rid of republicans.

In my county in Sarasota they are implementing masks in the school. My kid got covid luckily a mild case this past week. And no one else got it in my house. We wear the masks it's not such a big deal. But schools are a breeding grounds, after school how do parents protect theres

Very immature ruling in favour of RonDeSantisFL Will the court and he be subsequently liable if and when Covid-19 infections spike; especially when considering that children can be most vulnerable to the infection?

CRAZY USA POLITICS!! Got the BEST VACC's in the WORLD but they would RATHER risk peoples LIVES!!👎🤔😜🤪👎👺👺👺👺👺

Ugh!

Disgusting

The judge is sleeping with Desantis and sharing the profits of Desantis drug Generon. Really how stupid to blame Mexico4 covi 19 now mexico is no longer vacationing in Florida, bravo disney

The judge is sleeping with Desantis and sharing the profits of Desantis drug Generon.

HEY FLORIDA RON DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU. HE SHOWS YOU THAT EVERY DAY. WAKE UP RECALL HIM SAVE FLORIDA, SAVE YOUR KIDS.

This is what they want. I don't know why, but if Floridians do not Recall Ron for what he is doing. I ask is he more important than your family and friends?

Then they say why covid cases are Rising? 😪 pity yall

DeSantis death camp rules!

Those of you with children what's in the water for you all to put your babies at risk! your children really!!! All I can do is pray God watch over your children SMH!

Lunacy

Now the state courts want to kill people

Sad

Ok! Let him kill off his constituents

Why someone spends so much energy on creating obstacles for children to survive this pandemic? Only one answer: DiSantis is a criminal

Shame on the appeals court and this Governor! Karma will come 10xs over !!!!

So, you’re trying to kill your citizens?!

Get ready for more body bags and trailers. May God have mercy on those who are lost following the devil.

Obviously the appeals court judges are just as crazy as the scientists

Now if only they were all fetuses, they’ll be masked and vaxed in no time.

Good. Face masks are child abuse.

seriously and they should be fired.

Fkn disgusting!!

As a surgeon, I have electively (required) worn a mask at least 4/7 days per week for the last 21 years. This was not done for my own protection or comfort but to protect my patients. I do so because it is the right thing to do. I do so because masks work. This is true at any age

Snore

They all have blood on their hands. And for those who manage to survive covid unvaccinated, the long covid health effects will make their lifetime healthcare expenses a nightmare living in that state. You either die needlessly or suffer lifelong pain needlessly. What a gov.

If they can, Biden restricts federal funding on education based on vaccination rate. Let Rubio and de Santis cry murder! They are doing that now. Tell deSantis to send his kids to public school!

Simple, stop sending them to school

Its time for Biden to say enuf is enuf with the deSantis and Rubio’s of Florida. You put interstate travel restrictions on all states that dont have 65% vaccination. You ‘ll hurt the state economy but eventually residents will fold.

This is so fucking ridiculous!

Florida is going to Florida.

Crazyyyyyy.

So what is he trying to prove? We know he's angling for a presidential nomination in 2024. But not with the illnesses and deaths of children. Shame on that appeals court. they must not have thought their decision through.

brikeilarcnn This is complete insanity, so happy and relieved I don’t live in Florida

WTF?

What could possibly go wrong?

ridiculous decision

Please everyone who has lost a love one to COVID-19 join together for a class action lawsuit. The case will center around anti masks mandates. Wrongful death. Go get the Governor.

there is no argument about masks being helpful at some degree to limit the spread of the virus. I truly cannot understand why people fight about it, why not do the little such takes in case it may help even a single person to avoid from getting infected?

He threatened or bribed them. Guaranteed.. shady like trump

FREEDOM WINS!

This is so. FUCKING. STUPID. What the fuck do I go to work for every single day? For this bullshit? You know what? Next time the antivax crowd needs a nurse, they can miss me with that.

The courts are a partisan joke!!

He is killing his own state and people. And yet Ca is trying to recall theirs. Mind blowing.

brikeilarcnn Rediculous

The problem with conservatives is they don’t solve the problem at hand. All they do is argue. They are poor problem solvers, and COVID is a serious problem.

WTAF?!

Dumb

brikeilarcnn The madness and idiocy are never ending 🤬🤬🤬

Who would deliberately deny unvaccinated children the right to get sick and die in a school environment. Who would do that? Why would anyone do that?

brikeilarcnn Well—when GovRonDeSantis basically “owns” those judges at the flcourts ..what do you expect…. TheRickWilson ProjectLincoln matthewjdowd maddow DanRather JoeNBC Acosta kasie OccupyDemocrats TheView soccaroo WhoopiGoldberg GStephanopoulos nypost washingtonpost

The “Purge” is on!!!!!

brikeilarcnn This country is doomed!!!!

Florida is America's disabled child.

This is SO WRONG!

Cracked team reporting here

brikeilarcnn Republicans 🤬🤬🤬

brikeilarcnn I have to say, I just don't get it. Such a small thing and it might keep kids from getting sick and yet, Florida refuses. Florida has abandoned common good, public health, and DeSantis looks really bad so HOW can this be the avenue of choice?

GovRonDeSantis keeps killing Floridians

Do these brain-trusts grasp that antivaxers will seize on these rulings to challenge ALL vaccines now? Get ready for kids to start dying of Measles again. It killed 2.6 million people a year before the vaccine.

Wtf. Then let them all perish

Incoming triggered liberals

Of course it did.

Bad move. Why do Florida politicians want their residents to DIE from Covid when simple vaccines and masks could save lives. Dead people can’t vote…

And now more Children will die.

Thank God someone follows the constitution!

Insanity

I can’t believe the amount of resources DeSantis has wasted on trying to stop the mask mandate. It’s a mask, a piece of cloth that covers your face lol.Not sure why anyone in a position of power would spend more time and energy on harming people than protecting people.

Murderers.

Is it still illegal to carry the mask in your hand

The final act of the U.S. war in Afghanistan was a drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 people. Our latest investigation shows how a man the military saw as an 'imminent threat' and 'ISIS facilitator' was actually an aid worker returning to his family:

Brazil

Governors from hell should go back

Imagine celebrating your victory to kill parents, teachers and kids? DeSantis needs to go... Vote blue

Getting whiplashed here. JFC

Why is it such a big deal for unvaccinated to wear a mask.

Thanks a lot judge you just lined the governors pockets with a whole lot more money

It’s not breaking news it’s crappy news

So let’s worry about the unborn but let’s not give a damn about those that are alive we don’t care about those kids so what the courts are pathetic and DeSantis is pathetic. It just proves nobody gives a damn. How much did the judge get paid for that decision

FloridaDeathCamp DeathSantis RonDeSantisKnowinglyKillingKids

Can you imagine a Court standing in the way of safety and saving grief and loss of life? What a MESS. While people are infected and dying, all for what? Just for some right wing non vaxxers non maskers? Then they will be out against abortion? .

Dam skippy

So the judicial system is as stupid as the Governor. I guess I should expect nothing less from this state!!

Our President already committed to replace the money DeathSentenceDeSantis wants to take from the schools so this will have no effect I think.

Good!

Florida has turned into a full blown circus.🙄

ABAJournal They're hell bent on killing folks.

GovRonDeSantis fighting hard to put the children of Florida in harms way.

I never imagined I'd see the day where a governor would go to court in order to endanger children.

Let’s be clear- this has nothing to do with masks or even children but everything to do with RonDeSantisFL ‘s quest for the White House. DeathSantis

Go Florida

Just crazy

i wonder if they are getting kickbacks/perks for Regeneron treatments too....

JFC.. Florida's 1st District Court on Friday reinstated a stay on mask mandates in schools,

Let me guess a Republican judge.

Numerous non-mitigated large public events & political grandstanding encourage denial & feed resurgence, intensification of pandemic. Delta variant has only just begun & will eventually rage thru the millions of easy prey unvaccinated, non-masking. Worst is yet to come. Without mandates, why would people wear seat belts?
