How many dead kids are you okay with, Governor DeSantis? Surely you can pick a number.

South Florida's Broward County Public Schools had announced last week that the district would require everyone in their buildings to wear masks to guard against Covid-19. That came after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance recommending everyone in K-12 schools wear a mask regardless of vaccination status.

But Friday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order preventing mask mandates in schools. The order threatens to withhold state funding from schools that implement one.

"Broward County Public Schools intends to comply with the governor's latest executive order," the school district said in an online statement released this week.

"Safety remains our highest priority. The district will advocate for all eligible students and staff to receive vaccines and strongly encourage masks to be worn by everyone in schools," the statement reads. "The district will also work to adhere to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, including frequent cleaning and disinfecting of our schools, physical distancing, hand washing, and staying home when sick."

3. This is just a tRumpian power grab...

I don't know how many administrators, teachers, bus drivers, & custodial staff are in that district, but if every one of them said in slightly more correct terms, "fuck you desatin, we quit!"

Can you even imagine the outrage from the parents who no longer have $0.50 /hr babysitters, and have to stay home and put up with their spawn every day. That in it's self could totally destroy his dreams of being pResident.
