School districts in Florida will be allowed to impose mask requirements after a district judge on Friday blocked an executive order from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) banning the mandates.
Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper ruled in favor of a group of parents who sued DeSantis over his executive order, arguing it was unconstitutional. He ruled the order is "without legal authority" and is by definition "arbitrary" and "capricious."
Cooper issued an injunction stopping the Department of Education from taking any action against local districts that require masks in schools without a parental opt-out.
Cooper said the state's new "Parents' Bill of Rights" does not allow the governor or the Department of Education to prohibit school districts from mandating masks.
"The law expressly permits school boards to adopt policies regarding the health care of students, such as a mask mandate, even if a parent disagrees," Cooper said. "Parents' rights are very important, but they are not without some reasonable limitations."
DeSantis previously said he would appeal if the ruling was not in his favor.

Bring it all the way up to Florida’s Supreme Court.
A friend went to a clinic today for an earache. Of course they gave him a mask to wear. The MD told him that masks are stupid for this virus.
Another local thug in a robe who thinks he is God with no effing standing.
In legalese parlance it is called : " Judge Shopping ".
What ver happened to my body my choice. Yet these people are fine with abortions.
How much do these judges cost the US and States(taxpayers) with their bs proclamations that require paying lawyers to try to get them reversed by a higher court?
In far too many states, the county in which the state capital is located is Demonrat Stalinazi, with local Derp State Demonrat Stalinazi elected judges that think they have the right, power, and authority to overrule the state legislatures and Governors. They pull this same $hit in other states like Wisconsin and Texas. These thugs in robes should be immediately removed from office when they pull this crap for malfeasance.
‘He ruled the order is “without legal authority” and is by definition “arbitrary” and “capricious.” ‘
Sort of like a mask mandate, then.
Of course this was going to happen. It’s right there in the Constitution
Call the Legislature into a special session and pass a law banning mask mandates.
Hey, Florida...be Montana.
Here we go again. Judicial Ping Pong.
Can we get this judge to rule on Pritzker (IL), Whitmer (MI), et al and their EOs regarding schools an masking?
Just great Governors can order masks but can’t unordered them. If the Constitution actually was the law of the land this wouldn’t be happening.
Anything that limits the power of government is unconstitutional. And men can get pregnant....
Do you really need too? No matter what he claims he is a Deep Swamp Stooge.
How quaint that you don't think they are? Parents sure seem to think they are since they send them off to public schools where they teach 5 year olds how to masturbate, or give them free access to change their boys into girls with out permission of parents and the girls can get free abortions after they have learned to make babies all without parent participation.
BAHAHAHAHAHA! A county judge?
The governor is elected by the people. Is the Judge?
