A Florida judge on Wednesday ruled against Gov. Ron DeSantis’s administration for a second time over school mask mandates, allowing school boards to require that students wear face coverings.
Leon County Circuit Judge John C. Cooper again sided with parents who said an executive order from DeSantis (R) overstepped the state’s authority in restricting school districts from requiring masks.
“We have a variant that’s more infectious and more dangerous to children than the one we had last year,” Cooper said when issuing his ruling. “We’re in a non-disputed pandemic situation with threats to young children who, at least based on the evidence, have no way to avoid this unless to stay home and isolate themselves. I think everybody agrees that’s not good for them.”
Cooper pointed to the guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that recommends masks for students and staff in schools, calling it the “the gold standard.”

Kids can effectively ignore this school district order without consequences.
We really quit asking lib judges for permission. They are like weevils. When one rules against the libs, they do what they want anyway.

Appeal. Ignore. Rinse. Repeat.
DeSantis should require the same mask requirements for all Florida court houses. What’s good for the goose...
Fool's Gold.
Governors need to comment about all these advocate judges, "Let him come enforce it."
“Masks should be optional banned.”
While I sort of agree, if someone wants to wear a mask because they believe in its protection, they should have that right.
How does this judge have the authority to override DeSantis’ EO? Answer, He doesn’t.
States need to CRANK out “controversial” EOs one or more a day every day.
