Ron DeSantis fails children with political posturing on COVID-19 safety

[mia]

Can you imagine 30 people in a room today without masks? The governor can. If those people are children.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — who has repeatedly failed to act responsibly on the COVID-19 emergency — has come under intense fire for his executive order forbidding local governments from making mask mandates. This came after the Broward County School Board voted to require masks of employees and students when school resumes later this month. Now they may be backing off that position, even though home rule clearly gives local governments, including school boards, the authority.

Let’s hope the Miami-Dade School Board has the backbone to do the right thing when it meets Aug. 18 to decide the policy here. It will take courage.

Because DeSantis has threatened to defund school systems that defy him. Yes, the guy who blasted the ‘defund the police’ movement has now started a defund schools narrative....

[The Magistrate]

1. He Doesn't Fail Them, Ma'am --- He Means To Kill Them

There is no question that is his intent, for it is the predictable outcome of his actions, and he knows it.

2. 100% has earned the nickname Death Sentence.

That's what he is to the people in my state. Glad the court ruled against him but don't trust them not to reverse themselves like the last appellate court did. Of course, even if they stand strong, there's always SCOTUS that can continue the plague of the working class (in their minds). I don't trust those nazis, not one bit.

3. A much larger percentage of minorities will die. That's what he's aiming for. nt

4. Yes he is. It was a calculated risk. Will more R's or D's die.

He pushed the vaccine out to rich, white R’s in the beginning and did nothing after that. He was counting on covid not mutating and being children, for the most part, safe. Then came Delta. He got the grandparents vaccinated but he’s put their grandchildren in harms way. They won’t forget that.

5. It may not be in the cards for Ron D.. I saw a tv piece this a.m.

that featured a billionaire giving SC Sen. Tim Scott $10 million for a presidential run.

I can't see Q-Anus GOP electing a black man to the presidency so, the message I took away from the sudden interest in Scott is, "DeSantis is a no-go for 2024".
