On Friday, parents who felt COVID-19 protocols have become a harassment towards their children gained access to private school vouchers.<\/p>\n<p>The vouchers, also known as the Hope Scholarship, were originally used to protect kids who have been bullied. The vouchers have the effect of law.<\/p>\n<p>If school districts fail to comply, state funding to the schools could be withheld. The board asserted parents should always have the right to decide what was best for their own children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Hope Scholarship is a great tool,\u201d explained Vice Chair Ben Gibson of the Florida State Board of Education. \u201cThe parents can choose to select a different educational environment for their child and that\u2019s a decision that the parents make based on the need of their individual child.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Students should not be bullied because their parents exercised their rights to make decisions about their child\u2019s education and health. Thankful the Board of Education made it clear that such harassment would make a child eligible for a Hope Scholarship. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WBgIGWyG3b\">https:\/\/t.co\/WBgIGWyG3b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Casey DeSantis (@FLCaseyDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FLCaseyDeSantis\/status\/1423789145944637440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes as a handful of parents filed a suit in federal court on Friday, which alleged the ban on masks violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The parents argued disabled students who were a higher risk for COVID-19 would be unable to attend school with unmasked students.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/wis-subpoenas-green-bay-and-milwaukee-for-election-audit\/\">Wis.
