Ron DeSantis\u2019 (R) ban on mask mandates in schools has seen its first legal challenge in the form of two lawsuits filed late last week. Reports on Saturday said the suits challenge the constitutionality of the ban.<\/p>\n<p>The attorneys working on the suits argued the issue of masks in schools is being framed as a parent\u2019s choice issue when it\u2019s actually a public health issue.<\/p>\n<p>However, DeSantis said decisions over masks should be left up to the parents and not to the school boards. He added he believes the suits will fail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents have the fundamental right to raise their children, their health, their well-being, and that has to be respected by the state at all levels of government,\u201d stated DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida governor filed an executive order at the end of last month, preventing local school districts from requiring masks in schools. He\u2019s since butted heads with several politicians, including Joe Biden, over the move.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With reports that roughly 1 in 5 new <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/COVID19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#COVID19<\/a> cases in Florida are among children, local school boards and counties should have the authority to make decisions that are in the best interest of their students, teachers, and communities \u2014 without facing political retribution. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CGfpraPUut\">pic.twitter.com\/CGfpraPUut<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Commissioner Nikki Fried (@NikkiFriedFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NikkiFriedFL\/status\/1422942530128302085?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/over-1k-migrants-released-daily-into-mcallen-texas\/\">Over 1K Migrants Released Daily Into McAllen, Texas<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HIALEAH, FLORIDA \u2013 AUGUST 05: Florida Gov.
