In secret meeting, DeSantis pushes against masks in schools

[Zorro]

The discussion came a day before the CDC reversed course on mask guidelines in schools.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday gathered a collection of scientists who railed against masking kids for the upcoming school year, a move that came just one day before federal guidelines were revised to say everyone should wear masks inside K-12 schools amid a national surge of COVID-19 cases.

The new federal mask guidelines are almost certain to brew more tension in Florida, where Gov. Ron DeSantis has been doubling down on his opposition to mask children as school boards across the state face more intense debates over whether children should wear masks inside schools when in-person learning resumes in August.

On Monday, DeSantis made his stance on school mask mandates very clear during a closed-door panel discussion. He invited a group of four physicians, a parent and a student, all of whom had views that aligned with the governor’s handling of the pandemic, to discuss the issue of mask mandates.

The panel discussion was closed to the public, and no reporters were invited. But a video of the 50-minute panel discussion was later posted by the governor’s office on Rumble, a video platform that is frequently used by DeSantis and that has emerged as a conservative alternative to YouTube.

4. Death Sentence wants to make FL #1 in deaths and is succeeding.

I am so unhappy with the freaking court pulling its decision and letting cruise ships kill people en masse. I wish they could all move out of FL, but think that's impossible, there are too many and the infrastructure required isn't there anywhere else in sufficient quantity.

So unhappy with my area being #1 in cases. The 2 counties surrounding us have low low vaccination rates and even my county is only at 48%. WTF is wrong with these suicidal & murderous asses?
