"I took mine off."
"Did you feel pressure by the governor to do that?"
"A little."
This @HillsboroughSch senior's mom says she's very upset and it was "shocking" for Gov. DeSantis to ask her son & the other high school students to take off their masks.

Regardless of what you think about masks, DeSantis treated these students very disrespectfully. A shame.

He peacocks that this is the "free state" of Florida but clearly he only believes in the freedom for those to do what he personally approves of.

Exactly. Personal freedom isn't allowed if he doesn't want it to.

Still a precaution and he berates their choice because he knows it makes him look bad.

Julie, serious question and I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely curious. At what point would you feel safe/comfortable not wearing a mask in public anymore?

He’s not their peer, but agreed. It was highly inappropriate of him to say this and intimidate them

I'm thinking that being verbally abusive to kids is not in the job description of Governor.

Does he do this to the other patients in the clinic where his wife is receiving cancer treatment?

Feeling unified yet? When the masks come off at my kids school we have been warned of a zero tolerance policy for this exact kind of behavior. You say something to my kids about masking, why they're doing it, why they don't have to...your kid gets sent home.

to be fair this goes for kids who mock or bully those choosing not to wear masks as well.

He's yelling at students? Pointing his finger in their faces?? What has happened to these people?? What makes them think this is acceptable???

So DeSantis bullies the kids.
Respect to the one who resists the bullying, keeping the mask on

Brave student, refusing to be bullied, good for her! deathsantis uses his wife's cancer as an excuse for all sorts of things, but he has no regard for thousands of floridians mourning the loss of loved ones due to covid. He's a tyrant, a very poor excuse for a human being, imho.

What happened to all that talk about freedom? You mean it was purely politics all along?? I’m SHOCKED

The grieving families & friends of nearly a million dead Americans don’t think it is Covid “theatre.” And there is never any excuse to be so rude to students who are simply there because you are speaking at their school. That anger is uncalled for & is pretty revealing.

I have medical issues. I am going to keep wearing my mask indoors. I beg people to not say anything to me about it because it won't be pretty..

Isn't freedom about being allowed to make your own choice? How does a person wearing a mask hurt ?

I would tell a surgeon to not wear a mask because it doesn't do anything - said no one ever.
