Petition to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature

Whereas, on July 30, 2021 Governor Ron DeSantis signed Executive Order 21-175 to ensure parents’ freedom to choose, regarding masks in school; and

Whereas, Section 4 of EO 21-175 states that ‘this [Executive Order] does not prohibit the Florida Legislature from exploring legislation to further protect the fundamental rights of students and parents to be free from excessive, harmful regulation in schools’.

Therefore, We The People, living on the land on Florida, lawfully and formally exercise our right under Article I Section 5 of the Florida Constitution to petition and instruct our government, hereby call on the Governor and the State Legislature to immediately call an emergency session to further protect the fundamental rights of students and parents to be free from excessive, harmful regulation in schools.
