How is Desantis not for freedom and choice? That's hilarious you left out the rest of the article which says:mrussel1 said:Ron Desantis chides students for wearing masks, asking them to take them off. They don't. That's hilarious considering he said he was about freedom and choice.
https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2022/03/02/desantis-chides-students-for-wearing-masks-at-his-tampa-news-conference/TAMPA — At a news conference Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis expressed irritation that a group of high school students standing behind him were wearing masks and urged them to remove the face coverings.
Before taking the lectern at the University of South Florida, where he announced a $20 million state investment in cybersecurity workforce education, DeSantis asked why people wearing masks were standing behind him.
Then he approached the students, who are studying cybersecurity in high school.
“You don’t have to wear those masks,” DeSantis said. “Please take them off.”
Some of the students laughed. DeSantis appeared to remain annoyed. “Honestly, this is not doing anything,” he said. “We got to stop with this COVID theater.” The students didn’t respond.
“So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous,” the governor said before turning around and sighing.
Four students took their masks off, but three left them on.
DeSantis has previously said Florida is “the freest state in these United States” and individuals should be left to decide for themselves how to respond to COVID-19.
DeSantis spokesperson Christina Pushaw said the governor wanted “to make sure everyone is aware of the facts and data now, so they can feel free and comfortable without a mask.”
“As the governor said, “You can wear them if you want” but there’s “no evidence” they make any difference,” she said in an email. “That has been clear for a long time, and the data informed our state’s official guidance. Following Florida, the CDC has even stopped recommending mask wearing for most Americans.”
Did you read what he said? "if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous", which is absolutely true. He gave them a choice to wear the mask or not. 4 of the 7 kids (a majority) removed their masks. He could've said what he said in a kinder way but he is as fed up with COVID bullshit and lies as the rest of America. Many Democratic leaders have proven they feel the same way when they told their communities to mask up and then they went out without masks and got caught. It was theater.I have no problem if someone still wants to wear a mask. I personally won't make fun of them and I think it's pathetic for those who will make fun of them. If wearing a mask makes you feel safer, that is a personal choice that I respect even though most masks are not sufficient.0 -
he basically shamed them. on stage. on video. in public. sure, freedom of choice "wear it if you want to be a suck, go ahead" is essentially what he said to them.JB16057 said:

maybe. I see it differently coming from the leader of a state. you can't say something is your choice and then follow it up with shaming people for making that choice. it's just going to embolden other assholes to do the same.JB16057 said:

DeSantis spokesperson Christina Pushaw said the governor wanted “to make sure everyone is aware of the facts and data now, so they can feel free and comfortable without a mask.”
“As the governor said, “You can wear them if you want” but there’s “no evidence” they make any difference,” she said in an email. “That has been clear for a long time, and the data informed our state’s official guidance. Following Florida, the CDC has even stopped recommending mask wearing for most Americans.”
Did you read what he said? "if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous", which is absolutely true. He gave them a choice to wear the mask or not. 4 of the 7 kids (a majority) removed their masks. He could've said what he said in a kinder way but he is as fed up with COVID bullshit and lies as the rest of America. Many Democratic leaders have proven they feel the same way when they told their communities to mask up and then they went out without masks and got caught. It was theater.I have no problem if someone still wants to wear a mask. I personally won't make fun of them and I think it's pathetic for those who will make fun of them. If wearing a mask makes you feel safer, that is a personal choice that I respect even though most masks are not sufficient.hippiemom = goodness0 -
I agree with you. In passing this doesn't move the needle but it's a leader and he's talking to children so it does get a different set of rules.cincybearcat said:

he basically shamed them. on stage. on video. in public. sure, freedom of choice "wear it if you want to be a suck, go ahead" is essentially what he said to them.JB16057 said:
How is Desantis not for freedom and choice? That's hilarious you left out the rest of the article which says:mrussel1 said:Ron Desantis chides students for wearing masks, asking them to take them off. They don't. That's hilarious considering he said he was about freedom and choice.
https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2022/03/02/desantis-chides-students-for-wearing-masks-at-his-tampa-news-conference/TAMPA — At a news conference Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis expressed irritation that a group of high school students standing behind him were wearing masks and urged them to remove the face coverings.
Before taking the lectern at the University of South Florida, where he announced a $20 million state investment in cybersecurity workforce education, DeSantis asked why people wearing masks were standing behind him.
Then he approached the students, who are studying cybersecurity in high school.
“You don’t have to wear those masks,” DeSantis said. “Please take them off.”
Some of the students laughed. DeSantis appeared to remain annoyed. “Honestly, this is not doing anything,” he said. “We got to stop with this COVID theater.” The students didn’t respond.
“So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous,” the governor said before turning around and sighing.
Four students took their masks off, but three left them on.
DeSantis has previously said Florida is “the freest state in these United States” and individuals should be left to decide for themselves how to respond to COVID-19.
DeSantis spokesperson Christina Pushaw said the governor wanted “to make sure everyone is aware of the facts and data now, so they can feel free and comfortable without a mask.”
“As the governor said, “You can wear them if you want” but there’s “no evidence” they make any difference,” she said in an email. “That has been clear for a long time, and the data informed our state’s official guidance. Following Florida, the CDC has even stopped recommending mask wearing for most Americans.”
