Biden calls school chiefs, lauds defiance of anti-mask rules

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — President Joe Biden called school district superintendents in Florida and Arizona to praise them for doing “the right thing” after their respective boards implemented mask requirements in defiance of their Republican governors amid growing COVID-19 infections.

The White House said in a Saturday statement that the Democratic president had spoken with interim Broward Superintendent Vickie Cartwright in Florida and Phoenix Union High School District Superintendent Chad Gestson in Arizona “to thank them for their leadership and discuss their shared commitment to getting all students back in safe, full-time in-person learning this school year.”

“The President commended their leadership and courage to do the right thing for the health and well-being of their students, teachers, and schools,” the statement said.

Biden’s phone calls of support come as tensions build over whether local school districts can and should require face coverings for students and school staff as in-person classes resume. In Texas, several school districts — along with the state’s most populous county — won temporary legal victories Friday in seeking to override Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s ban on mask mandates, which they argued is making the COVID-19 pandemic worse.

“...So he’s interfering in the States condoning lawbreaking?...”

That’d be him...live and in person.
Can you imagine the “outrage” IF Trump did something similar.
These AINOs (American In Name Only) can go pound sand up their gay arses.

If you are wondering why all the "experts" are now subtly casting doubt on the efficacy of masks: "cloth masks and other fabric materials tested in the study had 40–90% instantaneous penetration levels"

In other words, they do nothing, as we observed IRL for the past 16 months pic.twitter.com/8v8nhFZKMU— Brumby (@the_brumby) August 13, 2021


"it means that wearing cloth masks will not have much effect"

Of course, rather than admit they were wrong, same experts instead double down & MANDATE for kids

And b4 you suggest N95s, know they failed in Germany & watch below video on proper fit protocol

Perhaps this is all a "noble lie" to get terrified parents to send their kids back to school given disastrous consequences of school closures. Inexcusable - just tell the truth.

Biden could care less about the kids health

I bet he just called to ask how many 12 year olds live in florida.

Biden hates children and students. Loves the teachers unions. I’m in the Soviet Union of CA and looking at my teens wearing masks daily through high school and college indefinitely, muffled voices, bad skin and dental issues, no smiling, no easy breathing.

The IQs of young kids are falling due to masking. A study from Brown University showed this. Facial expressions are needed for cognitive development of children.

All us parents are asking, and what DeSantis gets, is allow us mask choice. Let the parents decide for K-12. We don’t need mask mandates or mask bans right now. Just let the parents decide. Each parent, not each school district or each county or each state.

Biden needs to butt out. His kids are grown, and were able to live a mask-free life.

Masks, “social distancing” and other CCPVirus related measures have become a religion for people like Biden’s handlers and other leftists.

It isn’t just “moving the goal posts” but moving the end zone to the sidelines.

Between the mask mandates and the vaccine induced miscarriages I am convinced that the Covidian left positively HATES CHILDREN.

Here's what Biden said last month:

“The Taliban is not the North Vietnamese Army. They’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstances where you’re going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy in the United States from Afghanistan.” — Joe Biden, quoted in The Hill, 8/13/21
