Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis warned that states and districts that kept children out of schools for a lengthy amount of time due to COVID-19-related lockdowns have destroyed their futures, arguing the impact will be long-lasting.

Describing what he views as the “biggest mistake” committed during the pandemic, DeSantis, a Republican, told Fox News that governors “who kept kids out of schools” were “not following science.”
