I got three days, for "ridiculing faculty" and almost another 3 for pointing out that he was doing the ridiculing, I was just making sure everyone knew it.

I have been doing that "keep making them defend the wrong thing until they have a meltdown" since, but never with such perfection as the day I made Mr Amyx have a nervous breakdown and psychotic event in front of 25 13 year old kids.

It's much cheaper and probably safer to vaccinate than give the treatment.

Somebody ought to check who's buying stock in what.

BREAKING: The DeSantis administration has declared that cars in Florida will no longer be required to have seat belts, but every car in the state will be followed by its own individual ambulance.

Florida to punish two school districts in first sanctions under DeSantis mask mandate restrictions

Florida education officials voted Tuesday that the Broward County and Alachua County school districts violated state law by requiring students without medical exemptions to wear masks.

The state’s Board of Education, whose members are appointed by the governor, said it would impose unspecified penalties on the districts, the first since Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) threatened to withhold money from districts that require face coverings, saying that parents should decide whether their children wear masks at school.

As debate over public health mandates simmers across the country, new polling shows that nearly 2 out of every 3 Americans say they support their state or local government requiring masks in all public places to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Pollsters also found that 69 percent of Americans were supportive of requiring teachers, students and administrators to wear masks.

Florida School Board Sanctions School Districts For Imposing Mask Mandates
ALISON DURKEE AUGUST 17, 2021

The Florida State Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to sanction the Alachua and Broward county school districts for imposing mask mandates in violation of state rules, and could penalize them by withholding state funds.

Key Facts

The school board voted to “take all legal steps” to investigate and take action against Alachua and Broward countes’ school districts over their mask mandates, which the board found violated Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ executive order that prohibits school districts from requiring masks.

While the particular actions the board could take are still unclear, board chair Tom Grady said they could include “withholding funds from the district,” subjecting it to additional reporting requirements, “removing officers,” submitting public record requests to determine how school funds are being spent and referring the issue to the state legislature for further investigation and potential penalties.

Broward and Alachua schools’ mask mandates don’t have an opt-out option for parents, as the state order requires.

Both Broward and Alachua counties argued they do comply because they provide other opt-out options, like medical exemption through a doctor’s note or by taking advantage of a state program that allows children to receive scholarships for private schools that don’t have a mask requirement in place.
