Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appeals a judge's ruling that schools can require students to wear face masks, saying it’s important to let parents opt out.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis promotes monoclonal antibody treatments at the Florida Department of Health office in West Palm Beach, Fla. Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021.
DeSantis, a Republican, said at a news conference earlier this week that he is confident the state will win on appeal by linking the mask mandate order to the Parents Bill of Rights law. That law, the governor said, reserves for parents the authority to oversee their children’s education and health.
So far, they have moved to withhold salaries for school board members in Alachua and Broward counties. Those are two of the 13 school boards representing over half of Florida’s 2.8 million students that have voted for mask mandates in defiance of the governor’s order.
