(Bloomberg) -- Two of Florida’s largest school districts voted Wednesday to defy Governor Ron DeSantis and require masks for students, joining a growing chorus of opposition to the state ban on such mandates.

The Miami-Dade County School Board, overseeing the state’s largest district, voted 7-1 on Wednesday to require its 334,000 students to wear face coverings when classes begin next week, with the exception of students who provide a doctor’s note. At almost the same time, the Hillsborough County School Board, whose district includes Tampa, voted 5-2 in favor of a similar measure.

Both schools agreed to review the protocols periodically based on the evolving state of the pandemic.

“The stakes are too high not to make sure we do everything we can to ensure the safety of our children,” said Marta Perez, a Miami-Dade board member.

1. WELL THAT PROVES IT . PEOPLE DON'T WANT A DEATHSENTENCE !

[brush]

2. Bet the little Napolean wannabe didn't expect school admins would actually want to protect...

kids and themselves from sure covid infections that his mask ban would induce.

And ya say this fool went to Harvard?

[Evolve Dammit]

3. Harvard?? He looks Cro-Magnon like to me. Neandrathal wanna-be, but not quite. Check out the skull

structure and the narrow eyes. He should not be here. Harvard?? What fraternity? Delta, Delta, Delta?

4. Hahahahahahaha. "Delta Delta Delta." Good one. Oh you kill me.

7. Yep

Stephen Colbert agrees with you, as do I.

11. Delta Delta Delta

Is a sorority.

But it's still funny.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Wasn't that Animal House's frat? Mr. Desantis "has no grade point average".

[leftieNanner]

15. It was called Delta house

But it's not Delta Delta Delta (Tri-Delt). I was in a sorority back in the day - almost a Tri-Delt myself!

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Thanks leftie! I was "recruited" by friends at SAE (Sleep and Eat) but decided I was better off not!

[Skittles]

5. DeSantis is the very definition of GOVERNMENT OVERREACH

fascist asshole

[Warpy]

6. Make it part of the dress code, like Paris, TX did

If there's one thing RWNJs love more than the freedumb to get their kids sick and maybe killed is the freedumb to dictate what girls can wear, whether it's pinafores or burqas.

I got a good laugh when I read the news about the Paris School District.

8. In my Ruby red county

Our school board just caved to the rants of anti maskers. Our children are in serious trouble.. as is, of course, their families n friends. I don’t get it. I’m pissed. I want out of this madness

9. ive said this for a while

if a school board rejects a mask mandate and a kid ends up in the hospital the school board members who voted against teh mandate should be charged with reckless endangerment.
and its the local community that should take care of punishing them. no qualified immunity. no loopholes. lock them up in the local jail. when those in power refuse to protect the defenseless its up the the local community to take matters into their own hand

12. I'm actually surprised more school boards aren't afraid of lawsuits.

It may be hard to get criminal charges against the members, but lawsuits are a whole other matter.

10. Monroe County (Keys) kids are all masked,

as well as teachers and staff.

The A/C went down the past two days and it was doubly hard to wear a mask… very hot this week… but we are tough conchs.
