Florida teachers living in fear

Last edited Thu Aug 4, 2022, 07:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Last night a community group in Sarasota hosted "History in the Un-making: a community forum" (posted on Youtube,

) with teachers explaining how Florida held a teacher training organized by Hillsdale College on the new state civics curriculum. Hillsdale College--funded by COVID relief funds. Not to go on too long here, but Florida teachers are living in fear now. They can be fired, sued, bullied by students and parents. Demoralized, leaving in droves. All part of reThuglican strategy to starve and strangle public schools so education privatization can take over. School Board elections have never been more important. And DeSatan and his allies must go.

Targets of GOP violence with the purpose of destroying American institutions.

They are getting mailers sent out by DeSantis. A friend who is running against one of the "Moms" has been doxxed and the other day she had a drone hovering over her backyard pool. My friend has a Masters in finance. Her opponent has one year of Community College and offers her experience as an administrative assistant at a Christian daycare/K-3 facility as her main qualification for the job.

that has been successful beyond their dreams. They are awash in dirty corporate money. President Larry Arrn is the ventriloquist DeSantis is his dummy. He has also found other dummies to work with like Governor Lee. The difference Tennessee folks have backbone. Florida folks don't.
