Arguing that school board races are currently “nonpartisan in name only” ignores the impact A1 would have on SB races, namely requiring closed partisan primaries, allowing political parties more power over SB races and disenfranchising NPA voters. #NOon1 palmbeachpost-fl.newsmemory.com/?publink=29c98…

#Florida: "Groups backing the slate endorsed by DeSantis, such as Empower Parents Florida and Celebrate Achievement, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on mailers both touting the candidates they liked and trashing those they opposed."

#Florida might need a reminder right about now... Strong communities support their public schools.

“Moms for Liberty does not represent parents. It represents an extreme rightwing worldview that campaigns each day to take away your child’s freedom to enjoy safe and enriching public schools. Do not let them.” #M4LMayhem progressive.org/public-schools…

This is rich! AFC who lobbies for vouchers, saying public school closures are a result of free-market forces, now is fundraising by stoking fear that Catholic Schools are in danger of closing unless they get tax funded vouchers, calling them "a foundational American Institution."

Hey AFC! If you want to save "a Foundational American Institution" save #publicschools, attended by ~50 MILLION American children. FWIW, the Vice Chair of DeVos-funded AFC is also the Founder of Florida's voucher program...

Perhaps there should be some sort of barrier - a wall, maybe - separating the state and religion.

“Government Schools” is a pejorative, used to disrespect the public schools, attended by the vast majority of America’s children. Disrespecting public education is this guy’s job. Billionaires pay his salary with the hope of lowering their taxes and/or spreading their religion.

At this teachers conf, a Florida Dept of Education rep for the first time attempts to - explain? defend? clarify? - new African American History lessons that say enslaved people could “benefit” from skills. We were there by chance. No one has responded to our calls. @WPLGLocal10

@GlennaWPLG @moms4Libros @WPLGLocal10 Such a repulsive display of gaslighting. We can't say we weren't warned as the state defiantly shows us who they are. Quadrupling down on the "positives" of slavery should be a deal breaker for all of us.

Any attempt to reframe the atrocities of slavery to include “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit (FL ss.68.AA.2.3)” will not be tolerated. We will fight for our children. We will fight for our Democracy.

Spencer Roach says it's time the Legislature write a new Florida Constitution “Yes, it will be controversial, but we have a supermajority and we need to act now.” floridapolitics.com/archives/61928…

At an average of $8,648, 350,000 students represents over $3 billion diverted to private, mostly religious schools. In 5 years, when all homeschoolers are eligible, the total cost will be very close to the $4 billion estimated by @FloridaPolicy and dismissed by the @FLLegislature

Ron DeSantis had a complete meltdown when asked about a former Guantanamo detainee who said DeSantis observed his torture. Ron DeSantis for too long has been the boy in the bubble. Shielded from constituents and press in safe spaces within Florida.

.Florida super majority GOP just can't stop transferring public school dollars to private charter school corporations. #SB1328 is legislative malice toward public schools.

Collier County .Florida mandatory Confederate Month video chock full of miseducation. Must watch. Put your critical thinking caps on folks... tiktok.com/t/ZTR3uffvM/

@NewsHour This report was incredibly disappointing. NAEP proficiency DOES NOT equate to "on grade level" it is a MUCH higher standard. To quote @BrookingsInst "Equating NAEP proficiency with grade level is bogus." @arneduncan should know better. brookings.edu/blog/brown-cen…

@JacksonLeeTX18 Thank you for using your voice. Shredding local control is not democracy.

Let’s talk about this HISD takeover.
