Cooper, a Leon County Circuit Judge. Cooper previously said that DeSantis had overstepped his state authority in his July executive order on masking in schools.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Looking at the legislation and orders in question, Cooper said that masking mandates do not need to \u201cinclude a parent-opt out at all,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/lifestyle-health-education-florida-coronavirus-pandemic-680a3dccc72e125a51c7f97cfd0f0735?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&amp;utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=AP\">according<\/a> to The Associated Press.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The ruling enabled Florida county school boards to put mask mandates in place if they choose. Yet, as the AP reports, DeSantis\u2019s appeal now stays the ruling, meaning that it\u2019s at least temporarily suspended.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Following Judge Cooper\u2019s decision, a spokesman for DeSantis released a statement saying the decision went against parents rights and ignored \u201cscience and facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not surprising that Judge Cooper would rule against parent\u2019s rights and their ability to make the best educational and medical decisions for their family, but instead rule in favor of elected politicians. This ruling was made with incoherent justifications, not based in science and facts \u2013 frankly not even remotely focused on the merits of the case presented,\u201d the statement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysuncoast.com\/2021\/08\/27\/gov-desantis-office-releases-statement-judges-block-mask-mandate-ban\/\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis correctly predicted that the appeal would ultimately prove successful. \u201cIt\u2019ll be appealed.

DeSantis said that a similar case could be made if schools had banned anyone from wearing a mask instead of mandating that everyone wear one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll bet you you\u2019d have parents sue under the Parents\u2019 Bill of Rights, say, \u2018Hey, wait a minute, I think this is in the best interest of my child to go to school to wear \u2014 you know what, I think that they would win on that,\u201d the Republican said <a href=\"https:\/\/floridapolitics.com\/archives\/453973-ron-desantis-judge-gave-state-grounds-to-appeal-mask-mandate-ruling\/\">according<\/a> to Florida Politics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-appeals-judges-decision-blocking-his-ban-on-mask-mandates\">DeSantis Appeals Judge\u2019s Decision Blocking His Ban on Mask&nbsp;Mandates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
