Florida education commissioner says counties defying Gov. DeSantis' mask mandate ban will be overruled
Fox News
Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran maintains that the governor's ban on mask mandates in schools is within the law, despite a Florida judge's recent ruling against the ban.
RICHARD CORCORAN: We've had two counties now, additional counties, who've basically said, 'OK, we don't care about the rule of law, we're above the rule of law, and we're going to do what we think is right, regardless of what the parents have decided.' And we don't make a choice. You want to have your child have a mask? You don't want that child to have a mask? It's just up to the parents. And so then we got sued. And yes, the trial court – very judicial activist court – ruled against us yesterday. They haven't come out with their final ruling, and it's not binding until that ruling. But the second they come out with that ruling, we'll appeal. … They're going to rule probably within 30, 35 days. And I'm very confident they're going to rule on our side because what we're doing is absolutely within the Constitution, within the law. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW BELOW:More Related News
