Fucking asshole.
It's already started.
Florida's Board of Education on Friday approved private school vouchers for parents who feel their children are experiencing "COVID-19 harassment" from school district virus safety measures, the Associated Press reported.
"'COVID-19 harassment' means any threatening, discriminatory, insulting, or dehumanizing verbal, written or physical conduct an individual student suffers in relation to, or as a result of, school district protocols for COVID-19, including masking requirements, the separation or isolation of students, or COVID-19 testing requirements, that have the effect of substantially interfering with a student's educational performance," the rule reads.
Parents can request the vouchers if they feel their child is experiencing "COVID-19 harassment" for things such as mask mandates under provisions usually meant to protect children that are being bullied.

(24,394 posts)The private bible-thumping school you want to send your kid to charges $10,000 a year. You can't afford that, because apparently, you don't love Jesus enough for him to shower you with money...but I digress.
The state gives you $10,000 to send your kid to that school. Within a year or two the school is charging $20,000 and you still can't afford it. You send your kid back to the public school and if it's still there it is so underfunded that it's barely functioning.

It's no wonder the richie riches waited until the last Antifa soldiers are dying off to do this shit.

(42,720 posts)There must be some private schools in Florida that require masks. I wonder if a student in a non-masking public school could get one of those scholarships to go to a masking private school?
