"There's been talk about potentially people advocating at the federal level, imposing compulsory masks on kids. We're not doing that in Florida, OK? We need our kids to breathe."DeSantis made the remarks while in Fort Pierce for a ceremonial bill signing with House Speaker Chris Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor. DeSantis said he and Sprowls would back a special session if the federal government requires masks in schools, adding that Florida districts will keep masks optional for students.
"As of right now, all the school districts are going in that direction. But there is going to be, it looks like, a campaign from Washington to try to change that. I've talked to Chris Sprowls, if we need to bring (lawmakers) back in to be able to do something from the legislative perspective, he's all in."
"I never told anyone to get a vaccine. I've been very clear. I am simply not qualified. I am not a medical doctor."Mr. Hannity, one of the country's most well-known conservative media personalities, made headlines this week after delivering a dialogue imploring his audience to "please take COVID seriously." Mr. Hannity said Monday night:
"Please take COVID seriously. I can't say it enough. Enough people have died. We don't need any more deaths. It absolutely makes sense for many Americans to get vaccinated."
Comment: The comments of Turley above are particularly on point - professors are encouraged to use their titles and to speak on controversial issues, so the complaints leveled against Bergman are obviously motivated by the fact that they don't like what he had to say.
