Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' order on masks in schools faces its first legal challenge over constitutionality

(CNN)Eight Florida attorneys have filed a lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis over his executive order on masks in schools, said Charles Gallagher, an attorney working on the suit.

This is the first legal challenge over the constitutionality of the governor's order on masks, Gallagher said.

The order, issued late last month, directed the state's health and education departments to issue rules preventing the implementation of school mask mandates in an effort to "protect parents' freedom to choose whether their children wear masks."

"They are framing this as a parent choice issue when this is really a public health issue," Gallagher told CNN by phone.

What if parent A decides it’s ok for his/her son to rape parent B’s child. It’s a parent choice issue. Parent A does not care what Parent B thinks. It’s what Parent A’s kid wants, he wants to rape another child, Gov Deathsantis by his reasoning is ok with this.

during a pandemic then the other parents should also have the right to just not send their kids to the school at all.

He says he will issue “vouchers” to students to attend private schools for those that want them. Sound familiar? Vouchers to attend private schools..like crazy betsy devoss. Easiest way to kill a school budget, pull money out for private school vouchers

bring his numbers down. I wish Democratic supporting billionaires would blow the dust off their wallets and fund hard hitting messaging against scum republicans like him, as RW billionaires do against Dems.

It's a massive opportunity.
