We’ve heard you can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars selling tees 😉. Now, we didn’t come up with any hypocritical slogans or use Zapf Chauncey font, but we think our designs are pretty awesome. bonfire.com/store/florida-…

“The vague and overly broad language of (the law) forces educators to self-censor, depriving students of a comprehensive education. This lawsuit is about preserving the right to learn and teach without political interference.” tallahassee.com/story/news/pol…

Broward Schools received more than a dozen book objections (most on 4/23/24) that we just found out about through PRR. We have documents showing at least four were reviewed and retained by committee last fall (in green box), but what about the others?

This is a horrible bill that seeks to make it easier to convert public schools to a charter school and give away the land and building to the charter. These are public lands, and once we lose them, we won’t get them back.
Bruce D. Baker@SchlFinance101

As state legislative sessions start up, keep an eye out for bills like this: flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2… Bills (in states with county school systems) to allow municipalities within counties to take over schools in their space & convert to charters are all about re-segregation!!!

“[S]chool libraries have long served as vehicles to expose students to a broad array of ideas…Second, messages conveyed in school library books are diverse & contradictory — not endorsed by the state, as government speech must be.” wusf.org/courts-law/202…

This is exactly the issue we face in the #Florida Keys. The "marketplace" will never provide a wide range of high quality education options here, such options are economically unfeasible, but continuing to divert funding away from public schools will impact their quality.

I'm not the only one who thinks that wiping rural communities off the map because of *school choice* is a crazy idea. Here's James Lindsay (THAT James Lindsay) making the same point.

"Court simply fails to see how any reasonable person would view the contents of the school library (or any library for that matter) as the government’s endorsement of the views expressed in the books on the library’s shelves." @ecpsfl refuses to settle. tallahassee.com/story/news/loc…

Florida refused to spend $12m to abide by a new federal law, so delayed KidCare for over a year for 42k kids; refuses to participate in Summer EBT which would alleviate summer hunger for kids w $259m in summer SNAP, bc it wld cost $13m & yet they found $15m to ban books
