School districts in Florida may impose mask mandates, a judge said Friday, ruling that Gov. Ron DeSantis overstepped his authority by stanley cup issuing an executive order banning the mandates. Leon County Circuit Judge John C. Cooper agreed with a group of parents who claimed in a lawsuit that DeSantis order is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced. The governor s order gave parents the sole right to decide if their child wears a mask at school. Cooper said DeSantis order is without legal authority. His decision came after a three-day virtual hearing, and after at least 10 Florida school boards voted to defy DeSantis and impose mask requirements with no parental opt-out. Cooper said that while the governor and others have argued that a new Florida law gives parents the ultimate authority to oversee health issues for their children, it also exempts government actions that are needed to stanley cup protect public health and are reasonable and limited in scope. He said a school district s decision to require student masking to prevent the spread of the virus falls within that exemption. The judge also noted that two Florida Supreme Court decisions from 1914 and 1939 found that individual rights are limited by their impact on the rights of others. For example, he said, adults have the right to drink alcohol but not to drive drunk. There is a right to free speech, but not to haras stanley cup s or threaten others or yell fire in a crowded theater, he said.
