Fighting against the thought police trying to censor our workplaces and our classrooms. We shouldn’t be afraid of the truth. We should be afraid of this authoritarian power play in the form of an unconstitutional and overly vague bill which will lead to extensive litigation.

“We’re telling a company if they want to teach anti-discrimination, they want to teach diversity, they want to teach unconscious bias, which is a course in the Florida Senate, that they will potentially be creating the cause of action from a disgruntled employee,” Polsky said.

Big push by conservatives to make schools post lesson plans online is just the latest in a never ending attempt to *pry open the classroom door.* Will it work? Latest Have You Heard says most likely not soundcloud.com/haveyouheardpo…

.The Magnet Anything you can do about this?

Don't miss tonight's Capitol Report. Lynn Hatter cuts through all the BS on HB1557 and HB7. Remember their votes in a few months....news.wfsu.org/show/capital-r…

Historically bad day today in Senate Rules Committee...in just a few hours the Committee banned books, gutted solar energy, term limited school board members, stopped the teaching of racism b/c it makes white people feel guilty & eliminated alimony retroactively! What the hell!?

The real .DeSantis. If he see's you with a mask, this is where "choice" goes to die. He calls it "COVID theater" & he's the star. Where's the bullying scholarship for this?x.com/michelletodd/s… Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD 🔨 Cindy Hamilton Donna Mace Accountabaloney Marie-Claire Leman

Refuse high stakes tests. Florida opt out season starts next week.

"Remember, privatization is not just about privatizing schooling... it's also about privatizing the responsibility for providing an education and making it the private problem of parents instead of the shared responsibility of the community." curmudgucation.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-fu…

“The camel’s in the tent.” The cynical way we got from Jeb Bush to #HB1. Great reminder by Frank Cerabino palmbeachpost.com/story/news/col…

“There are some people that think you have a right to have some taxpayer institutions with no accountability. That they should just be able to do whatever they want,” DeSantis said. “That is not happening in the state of Florida.”So I guess DeSantis will veto HB1?

I think I wore right socks to the Senate Ed Prek-12 Committee considering private school vouchers. It is really an opt out of public schools tax rebate. Millionaires will get a tax rebate for sending their kids to private schools, taking $4 BILLION out of our public schools.

It's the 1st day of session & Speaker Renner is saying the bills passed this session will end indoctrination & sexualization of our children in our schools. Says the DEI "movement" is Orwellian, saying equity now means picking winners and losers. Watch on thefloridachannel.com

You may not be LGBTQ, Black, an immigrant, woman, student, teacher, professor, blogger, newspaper, elected prosecutor, a business with an opinion, or gun violence victim… …but eventually the black hole that is Ron DeSantis’ culture wars will consume you and your freedoms too.

Under SB202/HB1, universal vouchers, MILLIONAIRES will get taxpayer money to cover their tuition expenses. Gov. DeSantis says that’s not a great use of taxpayer money. Today in committee Rep. Randy Fine said “I’m one of those millionaires that will get a scholarship.” #flapol

Anne Lutz Fernandez Still one of the most illuminating quotes I've run across. Chris Rufo at Hillsdale in his "Laying siege to the institutions" speech: "To get universal school choice, you really need to operate from a place of universal school distrust."

In Senate Approps Senator Bobby Powell, Jr. asks #SB202 sponsor whether publicly funded private schools could teach a curriculum that is Wise Outspoken Knowledgeable Educated. Sponsor unsure how to answer. The answer is Yes.

.Sen. Jason Pizzo says "charter schools are an alternative to public schools and alternative education should have alternative finances from public schools." #PizzoGetsIt
