Nine states run by Republican governors have a ban on mask mandates in schools, even though the coronavirus delta variant is a severe threat to unvaccinated populations. Former Congressman Beto O’Rourke has three children in school – one who is too young for the vaccine. “Until we see some real leadership from our governor, we have hundreds of thousands of children across the state of Texas who are unnecessarily in harm’s way right now,” he says.

There are more variants of Covid in Florida than in the colors of Rudy Giuliani’s hair dye products.
Theres more snow in your comment than Antartica.
And it’s spreading faster too.
but that was ca ca melting not hair dye. smelly man is smelly.
Great Protest
Thank You so much.
Safety First Always
Blessings
Some of these schools got smart & added it to their dress code. 🤣💯👏🏻👏🏻
Charge them with negligent homicide!
Nazis!
you can file a class action suit against the governor right now… today
I find it interesting the justice system does nothing about any of this garbage. Too many people have died. When’s it end?
But can’t against any maker of the vaccines if side effects occur 🤔
If these schools are smart they will make the mask a dress code thing
Agreed a simple solution there but in society today there are selfish ignorant people unfortunately
now that is solid out of box thinking great idea!
@William James Wilkerson but masks don’t work
In any half-sane country Greg Abbott would be in prison on charges varying from high treason to multiple culpable homicide … quite likely, he would never get out.
Treason? Do you even know what that is? He would be charged with negligence if anything.
Yep but since he just got diagnosed with Covid yesterday after his standing room only 600 person no mask affair I bet a LOT of districts begin to defy his ignorance😁
That affair also Blatantly shows the Hypocrisy of the GOP given their fits and big deal over Obama’s birthday party that he scaled way back but Abbott just had to get those donors $s!!
Agreed he is a waste of time tand a disgrace that should step down and really be charged and locked up for his negligence in the loss of lives in handling the Covid 19 deadly virus in his state
Yeah he’d be a man on wheels!!
not really, masks are not banned and the parents are the ones who sent kids out without masks. It’s not illegal to give bad advice or to NOT force people to comply even if a rule saves lives, because people can still follow it on their own.
calm down and vote him out if you feel he is doing a bad job. Stop talking crazy! of yeah… El Loco…. got it!
😄
I wonder how many governors have purchased stock in a company that makes Regeneron? At what cost to our lives will they profit?
@Charles A Smith Regenerons stock didn’t go up much today. Might be a sucker move.
I was thinking the same thing. Any scheme a republican cooks up is doomed to fail.
I also agree. FL governor takes no preventive measures , but sure is into regeneron for all
In fact opening a stadium to provide the drug. Kills me that anti vax and mask will probably have no issues taking this, but won’t get a vaccine
Rand Paul and his wife have stock in the company that makes it.
I can think of 6.
New York, California, Michigan,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
selfish and ignorance people got too confused between Science & Politics!
Willful blindness can be a crime
Yes your right the Democrats are using covid for politics
@G S you’re speaking of your republicans and yourself, not the democrats…
Number of children saved from murderous pedophiles by QAnon numbers: 0
Number of children murdered by Q anon members: 4
That’s a great idea. Add wearing a mask to dress code.
“Being safe and not sorry” will pay off every time. If you love your child, make them wear a mask, the life saved just might be theirs.
Real talk
If I had a kid, I couldn’t imagine sending him or her to school without a mask. Only crazy people are defying mask mandate.
Doctor in alabama said he will no longer treat the unvaccatied
Yeah but when their child gets covid and dies they better not say a word!!
Take our kids out of these school! Probably tough to do but, i think its warranted.
I wouldn’t send them to school where mask mandates aren’t in place.
The national news should broadcast a walk-through tour of the pediatric units nightly. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Naaah, Democrats KNOW the pandemic is real. Rethuglicans would just scream “Fake News!”
They don’t care because it don’t buy them VOTES..
They only cares about themselves
There is no way on God’s green earth I am sending my children to school where other kids are not wearing masks. Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis are literally putting our children in harm’s way trying to score political points with the Trump lunatics.
…but he looks “tough” right? Bigly manly? Donnie must be proud…what’s a few children if it means Ron DeathSentence gets to try to be pretend President?
The teachers in dangers the children by not getting vaccinated
The honorable Beto O’Rourke needs to be Texas’ next Governor!!!!
Years ago we trusted science and had a distrust in politicians. WHY has this been flipped?
Just crazy to dismiss the world you was born into that was built on science and learning.
