Fiona Lashells, who just turned 8 years old, has been refusing to wear a mask in school for months. As a result, shes been suspended 38 times. In July, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order making face masks optional in schools. But in local school districts like Fionas in Palm Beach County, mask mandates are still being enforced. .
You wear it for a long time and you breathe in all those germs, Fiona said to NewsNation. You set it down at lunch and put it back on your face and breathed that all in all day long.
Now every time Fiona refuses to wear a mask, she is suspended and sent home with a note explaining why.
I was really shocked by it, Fionas mom, Bailey Lashell said. I couldnt believe it was all over not complying with the mask mandate.

(5,969 posts)Are they too stupid to provide some extra masks for their kid? Those parents could at least pretend to care a little both for the sake of safety and education of their child. When your kid gets sent home that often, of course there are consequences. It shouldn't come as a surprise after 38 times...

(16,820 posts)but the little girl, and her stupid mother, are going to have to learn about consequences. Nobody gets to make up her own rules in life. That's just the way it is.

(20,044 posts)If the daughter is breathing "in all those germs" they are coming FROM HER. By wearing the mask, she is protecting others from any of her germs and she is protecting herself from inhaling the germs from others. Why would the mother think it was okay for her daughter to miss 48 days if school?
