A father, identified as Mike Johnson, was taken into custody after pushing a student during a dispute over mask-wearing rules at his daughter’s school. For several days, Johnson had been attempting to escort his daughter into Fort Lauderdale High School without a mask, defying the school district’s mandatory mask policy.
The incident escalated when another student confronted Johnson, expressing frustration over his actions that had been ongoing for four days. As the student reached for her phone to record him, Johnson reportedly grabbed her hand and shoved her against a gate. Fortunately, police were present nearby, having received multiple complaints regarding his behavior, and they promptly arrested him on charges of child abuse without serious bodily harm.
In the arrest report, a school resource officer detailed how Johnson aggressively twisted the student’s arm, prompting intervention from security personnel. Throughout the week, Johnson had been seen recording students and causing disruptions, insisting that his daughter had the right to enter the school without a mask. He claimed in an interview that the school board’s mask policy was illegal and vowed that his daughter would not wear a mask under any circumstances.
This incident highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding mask mandates in schools, especially as the Delta variant continues to spread. In Florida, more than half the students are in districts that defy Governor Ron DeSantis‘s ban on mask requirements. Johnson’s lawyer argued that his client was the victim, alleging that the student unlawfully took his phone and that he used minimal force to reclaim it. Johnson is currently in Broward County Jail, with no bond set, while his attorney questions why the student involved is not facing charges.
