Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday moved to punish local officials who ignore his executive order which prohibits mask mandates in the state’s schools.
DeSantis recommended the Florida Department of Education withhold the salaries of school board members who implement the mask rules.
“With respect to enforcing any financial consequences for noncompliance of state law regarding these rules and ultimately the rights of parents to make decisions about their children’s education and health care decisions, it would be the goal of the State Board of Education to narrowly tailor any financial consequences to the offense committed,” DeSantis’ office said in a statement to CBS Miami. “For example, the State Board of Education could move to withhold the salary of the district superintendent or school board members, as a narrowly tailored means to address the decision-makers who led to the violation of law.”
“Education funding is intended to benefit students first and foremost, not systems. The Governor’s priorities are protecting parents’ rights and ensuring that every student has access to a high-quality education that meets their unique needs.”
He’s so awesome.
Lawsuit and some activist judge will immediately shut that down.
He is not playing around…
I want to move to Florida.
The teachers would spend more time keeping the masks on kids than actually teaching.
I'm noticing on Twitter a growing number of otherwise liberal moms who are fed up with the mask mandates and are genuinely concerned that they are harming the psychological development of their children, children who are at virtually no risk of COVID.
They're paying attention.
Hurry while there is still room. Property prices are high but apparently it’s worth it.
If I kicked out of the home here, I might have to look at FL.
Why waste time trying to withhold their paychecks which almost certainly will not happen?
The answer to to go to their homes with a swat team and arrest them for violating state law. How hard is that to figure out? Ask yourself: what would commie democrats do? They would send swat teams at 3am of course, then take 10 months to a year or more to go to trial.
recommended the Florida Department of Education withhold
Hopefully in a year I will be moving there
I haven’t checked on some of local garden variety wackos that I used to in order to figure where they were going. Too frustrating and sad.
ELON MUSK:
PLEASE FIND A PERSON WHO CAN BUILD AN ONLINE EDUCATION SYSTEM & GIVE THOSE STUDENTS A DISCOUNT ON STARLINK.
THESE KIDS NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER BEFORE !!!!!!
THANK YOU.
Wish he was my Governor.
I think I’m falling in love...
Governor Desantis, I will vote for you in any national election. Sadly I don’t live in Florida so can’t do much there.
Oh, didn’t Rush have some strategy where he encouraged Republicans to register as Democrats and create chaos?
DeSantis should issue an EO making each student an honorary guest of Obozo’s 60th BDay party so they do not have to wear masks.
LOL!
Same here.
I haven’t kept up with Henry here in SC.
Charge them with insurrection againt the State of Florida. 1 year in solitary before any trial.
