In reply to the discussion: Florida Is Now Refusing to Pay School Board Members Who Order Mask Mandates [View all]Dorian Gray
(13,469 posts)5. DeSantis is an idiot
If he had any intelligence, He would have taken the court ruling and told people: "My hands are tied. I tried." He could still campaign as a "freedom fighter" or whatever and let the school districts mandate masks and make education in Florida a safer place for kids and adults.
Instead, he's tripling down, and he's going to look terrible for it.
More kids will get sick, and he'll be the reason why.

They did. This is open defiance. I'm very curious about their internal polling on this

Funny but where I live in Nevada school board members are unpaid volunteers.

Those kids have already been born therefore the GOP doesn't care if they die.
