The footage shows police officers walking through tables of diners outside, approaching seated diners, and asking them to produce their Covid-19 health passes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cA vaccination card or negative COVID-19 test is now required for cafes, restaurants, long-distance travel, and non-emergency treatment at a hospital in France. However, the new vaccine mandate was&nbsp;<span class=\"s1\">reportedly<\/span>&nbsp;ignored by many restaurants on Monday. The health passes were already mandatory for movie theaters, concert halls, sports arenas, large theme parks, and other large-capacity venues,\u201d The Daily Wire added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The measures sparked protests across Paris and other major cities in France as people pushed back against the health passes, with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-paris-police-patrol-restaurants-checking-for-mandatory-vaccine-passports\"><span class=\"s1\">holding<\/span><\/a> signs that said \u201cOur freedoms are dying\u201d and \u201cVaccine: Don\u2019t touch our kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The topic of forced mask-wearing in schools has been one of contention in the United States as some parents want to be able to make the decision regarding whether or not their child should wear a mask throughout the entire school day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Governors like Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Greg Abbott (R-TX) have pushed to ban mask mandates in schools, but have been met with legal challenges to their efforts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-desantis-scores-legal-win-in-fight-to-ban-school-mask-mandates\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> earlier this month, DeSantis \u201cscored a legal win in his fight to ban mask mandates for children in schools across the state, instead allowing parents to decide what\u2019s best for their kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>After the DeSantis administration filed an emergency motion asking an appeals court to reinstate a stay on his order to ban the mandates, the&nbsp;1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee&nbsp;granted the stay Friday.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>\u201c1st District Court of Appeals just granted the State of Florida\u2019s request to reinstate the stay \u2014 meaning, the rule requiring ALL Florida school districts to protect parents\u2019 rights to make choices about masking kids is BACK in effect!\u201d posted Christina Pushaw, a spokeswoman for Gov.
