A few days ago, I announced an imminent political war in Florida, as part of the educational institution there continues to try to undermine Governor Ron DeSantis’ efforts to respond to the Wuhan pandemic based on science. , Not based on any panic-filled article that happened to be on the front page of the Miami Herald or the New York Times one day.Post is Ron DeSantis (Ron DeSantis) faces a rebellion initiated by the Florida School Board for authorization to wear a mask. Will he fold or double? This is the story.
Last week, the CDC releases new guidelines Schools should again require faculty and students to wear masks. Although there is a lack of empirical evidence from controlled trials that masks have any effect on the spread of the Wuhan virus.
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Changed the mask guide For people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, new information on the ability of vaccinated people to spread delta variants was cited on Tuesday.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends that people vaccinated in parts of the U.S. wear masks again indoors Where the coronavirus is raging And everyone in the K-12 school wears a mask, regardless of the vaccination status.
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said that the high spread of the Delta variant was the reason the agency changed its guidelines.
The day after the CDC issued the new directive, schools in Broward County announced that they wouldDevelop mask taskIt is said that this is to protect children, but the real purpose is to put the thumb on DeSantis’ eyes.
Members of the Broward County school board held a special meeting on Wednesday to discuss the issue of wearing masks. One day ago, about 22 people who opposed wearing masks disrupted the meeting during a screaming contest and burned outside the building. Facial mask. Board members agreed to continue to require masks for at least the beginning of the school year, making it the first school district in the state to do so. Miami-Dade School officials stated that they are reconsidering their mask policy based on recent CDC recommendations, but no decision has been made yet.
In response, DeSantis issued an executive order prohibiting school districts from enforcing mask regulations and threatening non-compliance with required school funds.
Executive Order 21 175 go through Red state pressure On the desk
The South Florida school district, which voted last week to require face masks when resuming face-to-face learning this month, now says it will comply with Governor Ron DeSantis’ executive order to prevent wearing masks in schools, rather than implementing the Center’s recommendations for disease control and prevention.
“The Broward County Public Schools intend to comply with the governor’s latest executive order,” a district statement issued Monday afternoon said.
Things took a strange turn. Two other counties in Florida, Alachua (Gainesville) and Duval (Jacksonville), chose to directly confront DeSantis and effectively get him to cancel state funding.

I pointed out that the meeting of the Alachua School Board of Directors has all the spontaneity of the meeting of the Politburo of the Soviet Union. Every parent who testified agreed with the rules for wearing masks, and they all wore masks. Skip this meeting video and see for yourself.
Then Broward County suddenly decided Not really to obey Executive orders with the governor.
The struggle to wear masks at Broward County Public Schools continued on Wednesday, and the district insisted that their facial coverage policy is still in effect for the time being.
The school district said in a statement that schools and facilities still need to wear masks, but said they are still waiting for further guidance before deciding whether to wear masks for the next school year.
DeSantis looks like he is trying to adjust to the school district, but a bit Pull the line By giving parents the right and right to opt-out, they have the right to collect the educational funds planned to educate their children and transfer them out of the public school system. My colleague Bunche has that story, Ron DeSantis fights back against the insurgent, anti-science school districtThe parent opt-out order issued by the Florida Department of Health is as follows.
This rule says, “[students] Masks or face shields can be worn as mitigation measures; however, the school must allow the parents or legal guardians of students to choose not to let students wear face masks or masks. It went on to say that students who choose not to wear a mask must not be harassed or discriminated against. They cannot be separated from the student body; they cannot be isolated during classes or activities, nor can they be excluded from school-sponsored activities.
As I thought yesterday, I doubt that DeSantis’ efforts to reach an agreement with the rebel school district will succeed. I write that these people always confuse dialogue and goodwill with weakness. Their behavior shows that they are more interested in fighting than solutions. Allowing parents to withdraw from the public school system and take away money dedicated to their children is a good thing, but the real problem is that the education staff openly rebelled against the governor.
Today, Alachua County Education Bureau made it clear Does not comply with DeSantis orders or rules issued by the Florida Department of Health.
regardless of Emergency rules issued yesterday According to the Florida Department of Health, Alachua County Public Schools (ACPS) has informed parents that a doctor’s signature is still required to opt out of the school mask requirement.
The rule specifically states that students “can wear masks or face masks as mitigation measures; however, schools must allow students’ parents or legal guardians to choose not to let students wear face masks or masks.”
In response, ACPS sent an email to the family reminding them that “the student’s mask requirement will be valid for the first two weeks of school and all adults on ACPS property until September 17.” The email said the family There are two ways to choose not to wear a mask: 1) Apply for a Florida Hope Scholarship to attend a private school or school in other areas; and 2) Submit a student mask opt-out medical exemption form, which “must be issued by a licensed doctor and a licensed osteopathy Signed by therapist or licensed senior registered nurse.”
It proves that public schools in Alachua County do not accept parents (or even mental health experts) opt out of masks. This is an email from today. pic.twitter.com/ilaIaZgwgO

It seems that the plan is to bully the children into submission.
2/ Although the rules say they cannot be treated differently, you know they will. So all of you need to plan to record everything-responses to opt-out forms, any discrimination in school, any harassment. Ask your child to write it all down.

4/ So make sure your child wants to deal with this problem. To be clear, they expect your child to not want to deal with this problem. It is completely wrong to say that this falls on children, but this is where we are.

I don’t think DeSantis can allow himself to be laughed at by the school board and taken seriously. He signed an executive order prohibiting them from taking this action. His health department has issued a legally binding rule stating that masks cannot be required. The school board has told them all about FOAD. If DeSantis allowed himself to be fucked by these clowns, he would not deserve our support in the future.
