Don't let Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis bully you

The Broward County School Board on Tuesday voted to keep its existing mask mandate in place for the 2021-2022 school year, defying the governor’s orders that threaten financial penalties, including withholding the salaries of superintendents and School Board members....

School Board members also authorized the district to evaluate and legally challenge the state health department’s new mask-related rules in court.

The decision was made after hours of deliberations and listening to public comments. There were 373 public comments submitted online to discuss the district’s mask policy. More than a dozen people spoke at the meeting, including teachers, parents and students.

Many who attended had the same message for the nine-member School Board: Don’t let Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis bully you, and keep the mask mandate in place.

1. What is the penalty in Florida for wearing a mask?

I would think that a good lawyer could make a good case for anyone charged.

6. There is not one. This has to do with mandating a mask be worn in schools.

You're mistaking this for a country where being a piece of shit has consequences.

5. True - the fuckers want to reward him instead of punish him.

And Gavin Newsom is the one who gets punished with a BS recall instead.

The only thing that has really kept me going in this Shithole that is America, is the fact I feel that my state, California, is very much a Blue state.

Unfortunately, we've had repub Governors in the past, so I shouldn't get too confident.

8. Yeah I'm so worried the recall could go the other way.

And the thing is though, they don't even have a candidate! Who are they going to run? Larry Elder? Caitlyn Jenner? I mean come on! They have 40% undecided.

Also like I keep saying, the people who are running this recall election are people who you wouldn't trust to run a 7-11.

9. repubs Don't Give A Shit Who Is In Office

Just so long as it's not a Lib.

That's why many repubs who didn't care for TFG, voted for him anyways, simply to defeat Biden.

I can't imagine the Democrats doing the same, but perhaps it's time we got with the fucking program.

The only good repub is a Dead repub.
