'No Restrictions, No Mandates': DeSantis Moves to Block School Mask Requirements, Empower Parents
By: Spencer Brown
Way to go governor De Santis! Your defense of freedom and parental rights and standing up for our kids is well done. It’s great that we have free states in this country where our individual rights, economic freedoms, and religious liberty will be upheld no matter what the federal regime says or does. The resistance against dystopian big government lives on! It’s time for them to get the Fauci out of our lives.

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis isn't taking the push for additional Wuhan coronavirus restrictions and mandates sitting down. Criticizing recent mandates as "a movement to impose more restrictions on the American people," DeSantis announced an executive order on Friday to protect Florida parents' right to decide whether their children wear masks in schools this fall, regardless of any mandates.
"In Florida, there will be no lockdowns, there will be no school closures, there will be no restrictions and no mandates in the state of Florida," DeSantis declared at the event in Cape Coral announcing his action.
"I'll be signing an executive order which directs the Florida Department of Education and Department of Health to issue emergency rules protecting the rights of parents to make this decision about wearing masks for their children," DeSantis explained. "We think that that's the most fair way to do it."
"I have young kids," he continued, adding "my wife and I are not going to do the masks with the kids, we never have — I want to see my kids smiling, I want them having fun."
"We were told that the off-ramp was vaccination, now we're told that that's not going to be the case and that you're going to have to do masking, you may have to do restrictions and potentially other severe forms of mitigation," DeSantis noted of the CDC and President Biden's recent announcements of vaccine mandates and a return to mask mandates. More restrictions "will have a devastating impact on so many peoples' lives and livelihoods and freedoms," he added.
Slamming the CDC's guidance as being done "so ham-handedly," DeSantis said the Biden administration "really shows a callous disregard for the physical, emotional, and academic wellbeing of our children."
"They need to be put first," he said of children. "We had this whole year and a half where so many people in our society wanted to put the kids last," DeSantis explained. "They wanted to impose most of the most extreme mitigation on the kids that were the least likely to face any negative harm from this."

The executive order from DeSantis comes after the Broward Country public school district announced that all students would be mandated to wear masks when they return to school at the end of the summer.
His announcement Friday echoed remarks made earlier this week in an address to the American Legislative Exchange Council. "No to lockdowns, no to school closures, and no mandates," DeSantis told a Utah audience, adding Americans "should not be consigned to live... in a Faucian dystopia."

Not only did you seed nonsense but you did so with thorough laziness by not editing out that which is not relevant to the article, and then to top it off you spammed the same 'cartoons' you already used in another of your seeds.
Boo!
Everything there is relevant to the article as you’d have known if you’d gone to the original source. You not liking the tweets the article author supplemented his article with is not my issue. As to the cartoons they are particularly relevant to the seed as 1. It’s about kids and masks and 2. If not for Bidens immigration spigot, we’d not be having near as big an issue as we are having now.
I always go to the original source of your seeds, they're neatly bundled unlike what you do with them which is akin to raccoons on garbage night.
Tweets? I thought y'all were banned ... @!@
You definitely don’t come to these seeds looking for anything original, coherent, or interesting. I only come here to take a digital shit on Husker.
It's almost like he wants people to die faster.
I mean he obviously doesn’t give a shit about the people he is supposed to be leading. Politics 100% for this cocksucker.
Why people vote for him is a real curiosity.
And now he is cold-heartedly putting the lives of the children in the schools by not requiring they at the least wear masks, but, should be vaccinated, to attend school. But, he has set no requirements at all, putting the lives of the children that attend FL schools at risk of being exposed to the vicious virus.
No one 12 and under can get the vaccine and that age is least likely to get the disease or spread it. No need to torture our children.
How does wearing a paper mask torture anyone? I'd ask if you possibly could get more absurd but you'd take it as a challenge, and you'd probably succeed.
Never challenge Husker to get even dumber because he will meet your challenge with ease. Dumbest person around here without a close second.
This is what I think of every time I read his threads,
Studies are still being done regarding vaccination of children under 12.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children make up 22% of all Covid cases. A significant reason for that is due to the Delta variant.
Right, because a child severely ill with a disease and possibly requiring hospitalizations and even intubation does not torture them >sarc<. And I thought you said you cared about children.
That’s typical for the strain, a four week spike of cases and then it recedes.
That 4-week spike means that +5000 people died, of which most of them would have been preventable. Is that your idea of being pro-life?
Read the meme again, it's 100% accurate. No other state has numbers that high per capita. It's not a coincidence, Buddy.
He only cares about human life before they are conscious, actual people. Once they pop out of the inferior sex (you know he doesn’t view women as equals, he won’t say it but we all know it’s true) he doesn’t give a damn about them.
Alan Grayson (from Florida) said it years ago. "The republican health care plan is: 1) Don't get sick... 2) If you get sick, die quickly."

Circumstantial evidence that republican governors collude together.
More than 110,400 new COVID-19 cases reported in Florida as positivity rate climbs
Where in the fuck did this idea that every idiot parent knows better than fucking doctors when it comes to health or medical decisions come from? Most parents don’t know jack shit about much of anything, hence why I dont listen to virtually anyone about anything outside of a narrow scope of topics, primarily depending on their profession. Just because you managed to fuck and produce offspring doesn’t mean you have any idea what we should or shouldn’t do to battle a virus.
Florida...
That graph will ultimately end with hundreds of dead Floridians including way too many children this time.
The saddest part will be that it was mostly available.
If Florida had competent leadership, but they do not.
Unfortunately true. DeSantis is more concerned with political points than the lives of the people he is responsible for.
That seems to be typical politics. Trump exemplified that.
Florida Leads U.S. in Covid-19 Cases as Hospitalizations Surge
Probably because of Biden resettling so many covid positive illegal aliens in Florida
No, probably because of DeSantiss' idiotic policies. I mean, that's who the article is about, yes?
You always with the, "I know you are but what am I" argument.
For the record though, Biden is PUSHING the use of masks and vaccines....Desantis? Not so much. Did you read your own article?
That's nice. Prove it! Oh wait, you can't.
When the children start coming down sick and possibly dying, their deaths will be on his and their parent's heads. If the parents want to blow off precautions, then they should home school their children.
Nothing like that happened last school year. By the time school starts the worst of this strain will have passed.
Oh yeah? And what do you do for a living exactly? What specific qualifications do you have that imply that you have any fucking clue what you are talking about?

Morning XX
Last year Delta did not exist remember...
And you know this how, exactly?
True. I was simply referring to how it went in the UK very recently, another mostly vaccinated nation.
[Deleted]
We are not even close to a “mostly vaccinated nation” thanks to morons like yourself.
Next DeSantis will make it illegal to list COVID as a valid reason on anyone's death certificate in FL.
That will prove to America that the pandemic is over. /s
True.. Suppose they could just use, apetrolemia. Nice generic cause of death.
Morning Frosty..nah.. Just shove cactus on it..covers everything..
Cactus here means snuffed it, carked it, pushing up daisies etc .
For the record..
Apetrolemia = A(without) petrol(gas) emia(presence in blood). It's a fun way of saying, "They ran out of gas".
Don't give that dirtbag any ideas.
In the past two days, Florida has had 34,000 plus new covid cases. Some hospitals are now limiting elective surgery, Over 6,600 are now hospitalized with covid.
DeSantis has said there will be no mask mandates, which is a lot of BS. Most every county in Florida had mask mandates this winter and spring. Some of the first to do it was the companies that are some of the largest in FL. Disney World et al.
Yesterday, Disney announced that it would require masks on all indoor venues at their facility in Orlando effective, TODAY, FRIDAY, July 30.
Walmart has announced that all stores will require masks.
Perhaps he isn't aware that teens and children are getting the new variant, Delta at a very high rate.
The Children's Hospital in Arkansas admitted 24 kids a few days ago and 7 went into ICU and 2 are on ventilators.
Local officials and doctors have requested DeSantis to declare a state of emergency which he has refused to do.
Morning...2 cases in Melbourne today masks mandatory State wide here.
Qld well Brisbane just announced a 3 day snap lock down 6 cases up there...
NSW figures have not come out yet but averaging 170 odd a day..so still pretty stable. Younger people being admitted to hospital and a few in ICU.
I wear a mask don't think anything of it. It helps protect me and others and happy to do my bit.
By all means don't wear a mask...but only hope you have plenty of spare cash to fund your own funeral and family members..
Both the author and seeder of this article are at best living in a delusional world where some BS about their so called rights over ride common sense and everyone else's rights.
Stupid is as stupid does/says.
The vaccinated can get and give the virus to others including children who can't be vaccinated. An overabundance of caution is still called for.
An update on the number hospitalized, it's now up to a big over 9,300.
A/noon...
NSW has got 210 cases today...
203 admitted to hospital, 53 in ICU and of those 27 on ventilators...
9,300 how do they cope with that??
Hope your son and his family are safe...
My OZ family is safe, thanks shona.
It's almost impossible to cope with it, shona. The best one can do is try to stay as safe as possible and be vaccinated. It's the fricking morons that whine and complain about the vaccine and do not use masks that are causing the virus to spread and it will keep that up.
It's very dishearting to see those fricking morons on social media/tv and sites like this spewing the idiocy.
Freedumb!
Some American progressives are too dumb to deserve be free.

FLORIDA HAD 21,683 NEW COVID CASES. THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF NEW COVID CASES SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC.
Disney now requires all employees to be fully vaccinated in 60 days.
How many covid positive illegal aliens has Biden deliberately resettled in Florida? And other red states?
You're the expert you should be able to tell me the exact number. You're the one that has stated that Biden is deliberatly bringing illegals with covid to red states. Could you give me a link to support that, XX?
You realize that this is the 3rd wave or is it the 4th wave in Florida, don't you?
I’m no expert on the inner workings of the occupational illegitimate regime I’m proud to be labeled by it as a domestic enemy of. The regime chooses not to accept that there can be a loyal opposition to it, thus it labels us as enemies of the state.
Can you prove that with a link?
You're no expert is the understatement of the century. So your BS comment is just that, BS. No link or proof.
I'd say an enemy of reality and you prove it with almost every one of your articles and comments.
That is a lie. In fact, there are numerous comments from you in the weeks following President Biden's inauguration where you called yourself an enemy of the state.
Fraud is a primary trait of many Trumpists. It is a sign of deep-seated psychological deviance.
Your comment is pathological, disgusting and profoundly un-American.
XX statement was that Biden was DELIBERATELY bringing illegals with covid to red states. Your link does not support that statement.
This video does not support your claim.
"Dr." Watters television political commentary is. . . wait what is this dudes education: Is it in History? He is complaining about masking up in red-states (as if any virus gives a red-state's ass about Liberty and Freedom as slogans - the virus does not care ). And so:
"Dr. Watters applauds Governor DeSantis' leadership on the rising numbers of sick people, full ICU beds and ward, and deaths I'm sure.
Good work, Fox and "friends"! Yes, really good work. Your efforts are paying big dividends in ratings, book sales, and event tickets!
And that's from the official state website previously accused of doctoring the data touching off a war of words between
Rebekah Jones and Ron DeSantis resulting in her arrest for allegedly sending an email to a state employees website
she should not have had access to after termination.
She started her own website and drew the ire of DeSantis. She moved herself & family and website to D.C.
In May she won a Florida decision to grant her whistleblower status in the case.
In June the trial judge dismissed Jone's request to drop the 3rd degree felony count over an email, without comment.
Jones wrote that on Instagram because those biased people at Twitter that only suspend conservatives, permanently suspended her Twitter account
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office responded with a statement, saying Jones clearly violated the social media platform’s terms of service. In addition, the statement refers to Jones as a “super spreader of COVID-19 disinformation.” It goes on to read that she used Twitter to promote conspiracy theories.
DeSantis is just like his idol, he doesn't know when to keep quiet.
