As the Florida governor approached the lectern for a press conference in Tampa, there were a few students waiting while wearing masks, but before he spoke he told them, 'Please take those off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything.'
CDC mask guidance for Hillsborough County as of Feb. 24, 2022"After 2 years of mixed messages and social engineering from health authorities and media, the governor wants to make sure everyone is aware of the facts and data now, so they can feel free and comfortable without a mask," said Taryn Fenske, spokesperson for the governor's office. "If hundreds of politicians can congregate without masks at the State of the Union, then young people should feel safe going mask free.
Meanwhile, Hillsborough County Public Schools said it was staying focused on this exciting time for students. In a statement released Wednesday, the district said: "We are excited our students from Middleton High School were highlighted as part of the statewide focus around cybersecurity education. Our Cybersecurity pathway at MHS has had tremendous success through students earning industry certifications, participating in internships, and leading the way in computer systems and information technology. As always, our students should be valued and celebrated.
Last week, the governor spoke at the 2022 Conservative Political Action Conference , and pointed out to the audience that Florida does not require facial coverings."We protected people's rights, we protected people's jobs, and made sure every kid in the state of Florida had an opportunity to go to school in person," DeSantis touted. "Freedom has prevailed in the Sunshine State.
