WASHINGTON — The Biden administration said on Thursday that it was reimbursing a Florida school district that lost state money for imposing a mask mandate, in opposition to a ban on such orders from Gov. Ron DeSantis, the pro-Trump Republican.

The award to Alachua County Public Schools of $147,719 is the first in the nation. It effectively compensates for the money lost in early September. Broward County, in South Florida, also saw state funds taken away because it ordered masking in schools.

So forget about waiting for any type of court ruling. He's the president, so he just goes on ahead and does it all on his own.

Screw that joey, ask permission from jilly to open the California ports back up.

YOU know ... the ones you destroyed smooth operation by cancelling every positive effort President Trump accomplished.

Alachua County is where the University of Florida is located, if you look at a voter map it’s a deep blue country in the middle of deep red counties....a very liberal progressive area....

More lawfare from the democrat taliban party.

No more ‘covert’ behavior. The gloves are off. The only people who will be getting ANY assistance in our deeply divided Nation will be Leftists. Our TAXPAYER monies will not be used help any ‘red’ counties, etc., in need. Obama ignored the flooding in Tennessee when he was ‘KING’. Now Biden will be following suit.

OK cool! The state of Florida now needs to just impose an additional $150,000 fine on Alachua county.

Let’s see how many times the feds fall for this.

When people’s tax revenues fight people’s tax revenues who can possibly lose?

Figured it was only a matter of time until the Marxists in DC stuck there noses into this matter.

It's monopoly money anyway. $30 trillion nation debt and counting. It's madness. And currently, it wears the crown.

May be, the masts will counter the ineptitude. And no monuments will fall across highways thus killing motor voters.

You're right.

So if they accept fed dollars doesn’t that make them fed employees? The state should remove them from any healthcare plans or employee retirement accounts and direct them to the federal system...

[cpt_dave]

I wonder if the state of Florida can replace the school board or seize the funds. Can Florida prohibit government schools from receiving “foreign” funds?
