Florida's kindergartners offer to explain mask issue to DeSantis!

[DrLove]

TALLAHASSEE (The Borowitz Report)—A group of Florida’s kindergartners has offered to explain the science underpinning the use of masks to the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis.​

​

Calling DeSantis’s objection to mask mandates “clearly an example of ignorance on his part,” one of the kindergartners, Jayson Dorrinson, said that his fellow five-year-olds were willing to talk to the Governor at his earliest convenience.​

​

“The benefit of wearing masks is so clear, it’s obvious to us that no one has explained this issue properly to Mr. DeSantis,” the kindergartner said. “We’re happy to play that role.”​

​

Dorrinson said that he was “not concerned” that being told the facts about masks might enrage DeSantis, who has been on a short fuse in recent weeks.​

​

“We sincerely hope that he doesn’t get mad,” the five-year-old said. “But, if he does, we’ll just give him a timeout.”​

So, clearly the parents who put them up to this nonsense (great lesson, disrespecting authority) don't have a fucking clue about the science.

As a parent, I don't find this very funny.

More kids are dying because of the fear porn and mitigation measures than b/c of COVID.

Thanks for killing our kids Doc.

They likely would have to dumb it down for him.

We're attempting to get them safely back in school. This might be possible by now were it not for their idiot anti-vax/ anti-mask Karen parents.

Meh, it's all good. Smart school districts are ignoring stupid governors.

LOL....liberals taking advice from kindergartners.

 

[MarathonMike]

Democrats have already put our kids a year behind in school. Now they are trying to mandate that they wear masks when they are the LEAST SUSCEPTIBLE to Covid of any of us.

 

[MisterBeale]

These kids have more risk from dying in a car crash, or from suicide than from COVID.

And if they are little? It affects their mental and emotional development. It is BAD for them, what the hell don't you understand?

I just think, you either don't care, or you have an agenda. Or maybe, you believe everything on the TEE VEE, and are impervious to the data which shows, they are at no statistical risk of dying. This COVID is as dangerous to kids as a bad flu, I have no idea why you are in denial of the statistical facts. . .

Why do you want to play politics with the kids, is it to intentionally MAKE THEM DUMB? Is that it? Because that is what this will do, FOLLOW THE SCIENCE!

This is exactly why we need to fire the school boards and all supporters of the teachers' union. Obviously kindergartners cannot explain the science but what they can do is mimic the adults around them. When the adults teach them to repeat non-scientific ideas and tell the children that it is science and get the children to repeat it on command, that is what you call brain washing and indoctrination. Parents who send their children to public schools today are damaging their children.

woodwork201 RIght? As if 5 year old kindergartners put together a statement for the governor of Florida. Pffffft Liberals are so gullible.
