Administration asks judge to order Florida to release funding to school districts with mask mandates

The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) issued a "cease and desist complaint" to the Florida DOE after the latter department withheld funding from Florida public schools over mask mandates.

The complaint was filed on Thursday with the Office of Administrative Law Judges after the state DOE stripped funding from the Alachua and Broward County public school districts, both of which had masking requirements in place.

In total, more than $525,000 has been withheld from Broward County Public Schools and more than $190,000 from Alachua County Public Schools, according to the Florida DOE.

That funding comes from the salaries of board members and a federal grant that was intended to protect students from the spread of COVID-19 at schools, according to the complaint. The federal grant provided more than $147,000 and $420,000 in Alachua and Broward, respectively.

we have in government that want to deprive and punish school districts that enact policies designed to protect the lives of America's children.
But then again, we should have seen it coming after America's response to the Sandy Hook event.

I cry for the children that are being raised in a place with a government doing this.........
