Florida Judge Throws Out Gov. Ron DeSantis' Order Prohibiting Masks In Schools

Any such legal authority is a state prerogative. School district authority flows from the state, of which they are creatures. In other words, any authority a public school has derives from the state which can take such authority back at its pleasure.

Not anything specifically, but it's there at the beginning.
What states lack this authority?

The schools get federal funding.
A problem I see is that the Prez, Congress, & the USSC
are willing to set the Constitution aside for anything they
find compelling, eg, seizing property without due process,
waiving jury trials, prison camps for citizens of the wrong
nationality, giving cops immunity for crimes.
Any Federal funding of a state’s public schools flows through the state’s authority. A public school district can not even accept the Federal funds unless the state authorized it todo so. Federal funding doesn’t usurp a state’s sovereignty and control over its schools.
None. That is why each state establishes its own laws regarding how its schools function.

States do not have total authority to run schools as they see fit. They are still bound to federal law.

So if all states have the legal authority to do the various
things I cited, then mask wearing would fit right it.
Or disallowing mask mandates.
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.“- tenth Amendment of the Constitution.
I'm familiar with that amendment.
And yes, the states can even make mask mandates illegal.
Although using legal power to reduce safety is a bad idea.
Do you think Florida schools have the authority to require students to wear a shirt? Or pants?

School districts establish their policies, and then the state board of education can possibly override them. However, in Florida's case, it was the governor who did this and bypassing the board from what I understand. The federal court, realizing this, went against the governor.
So, when it comes to this, are you pro-life or pro-death? Let's not kid ourselves as this very much is a life & death issue, and DeSantis sided with the latter.
Also, are you a conservative who actually believes in the lessening of top-down authority or a pseudo-conservative who wants more authority with the higher-ups?
