It is beyond appalling what these crazy alleged ‘leaders’ will do .

They make a mockery of any serious attempts to educate or perhaps for children to read something that ‘lands’ and creates a ‘reader forever’.

We struggle to be a proud democracy of diversity but people like Trump and De santis have made everything about their own narrow little minds in spite of their oversized egos .

Does De Santis even give a red rats a** about education? N.O.!

He just wants to sew division like Trump before him. So he calls on all these control freak parents and uses them as poster parents devoid of any compassion or empathy or even of understanding about what good education consists of .

Remember Civics class where kids were taught about other cultures and the welcome we extend to them in spite of our differences.

Thats gone in Florida, thats gone in private “ Christian” schools .

Who prefer their students white and ‘ straight’ .

Maybe some money should be diverted to schools that welcome everyone and respect the students differences and respect their teachers who give up a lot of money to go with their “calling”.

Now they’re are being prosecuted if they don’t go along to the letter with these ridiculous demands .

Its time to take education out of this dismal governors office and put it back to the people who went to school to become teachers ; because they care.

At this point it feels like the big question is how far he'll dismantle Florida public schools before offering vouchers to Christian schools as an alternative. My bet would be on, "as soon as enough other states do so first and get away with it," because DeSantis is calculating if nothing else. Iowa seems to be first out of the gate as of January this year (2023).
