First day of school for Broward county public schools is next Wednesday, Aug 18th.

How is requiring an ID to vote racist, but requiring an ID plus a vaccination card to eat and go to the gym not racist.
The desperation with which this guy trolls Florida covid posts is really something.
That's great. Have you heard of teacher in-service days? Or better still, do you wish to seriously argue that reopening schools without a masking mandate (Broward County is defying your hero's executive order) is either safe or sane?

Mike Burke, Palm Beach County superintendent of schools, chats with students as they eat breakfast on Tuesday. The school district has asked 440 students to quarantine just days into the school year.
The School District of Palm Beach County, the 10th largest school district in the country, teaches an estimated 197,000 students, according to the district's website. While students and staff are required to wear masks in the district, Interim School District Superintendent Michael Burke said in an interview with MSNBC that 5,700 Palm Beach students have opted out, per an order from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that allows parents to give permission to their children to do so.
Burke blamed the opt-out rule as the reason for the spike in cases, calling on DeSantis to make changes to protect students from infection.
Just to clarify - You believe these non-vaccinated teachers contracted COVID during the in-service days?
Feel free to show me a legitimate study which proves mask mandates work in schools and I'm all ears.
Unfortunately the bullshit Duke/ABC Science Collaborative study you quoted earlier from the Yahoo article doesn't hold water as all of the NC schools in this study were under a mask mandate. How is it possible to come to their conclusion without comparing to data from schools not under a mask mandate? Where is the control group?
Article in Fortune with stats on schools in the UK with no mask mandate:

Here is a study which shows case rates were higher last year in mask mandated vs. mask optional schools:

More than 800 Florida physicians have called on DeSantis to repeal his executive order banning mask mandates in Florida. I'm sure they are also just bullshitting and have no idea of what they're talking about either.
