Who should protect your child while they are in school? Ask yourself if a politician in Tallahassee should have more standing than parents or local school board members to make decisions about school safety in their local school? 
   
What Governor DeSantis does not understand is that diseases and epidemics are not politically driven, and a virus does not have any politics. The decision to recommend and mandate face masks should be driven by science, not politics, an idea that appears to be difficult for Governor DeSantis to understand. The reality is that the CDC, the American Association of Pediatricians,  and the US Department of Health have recommended that children should wear masks while in school. 

Governor DeSantis’ handling of the current epidemic, has led the State of Florida to an appalling statistic- the State of Florida, despite having a smaller overall population, has surpassed the country of Canada in fatalities due to the Coronavirus. 

Now is the time to show up and speak out for our children, teachers, and community!
