Meatball Ron DeSatan and his fascist band of cowardly Republicans

When you don't care about education, expertise, science, and honesty, well... you are gonna get got.
 
They realize education and credentials are legitimate. That’s why they pretend to have them and why they want to use that legitimacy to accomplish their goals.

His presidential campaign may be on the ropes, but DeSantis and his appointees apparently still have time to make the lives of transgenders in Florida harder.

The Florida Board of Education just issued a "new rule Wednesday requiring people at state colleges to use restrooms and changing facilities that align with their sex assigned at birth." "Transgender faculty and staff at Florida state colleges will be fired if they use a bathroom that aligns with their gender identity, according to the new Florida Board of Education rule approved Wednesday...Both students and employees at Florida colleges must follow the guidelines, and the rule not only applies to instructional facilities, but also to student housing owned or operated by the institution or its support organizations."

"But critics say the new rule goes beyond the scope of HB 1521. The law was part of a "Let Kids be Kids" bill package Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in mid-May. "Trans people just want to pee in a stall safely and mind their own business, and now college students can't even do that in their own housing," said Max Fenning, founder and executive director of PRISM, an LGBTQ advocacy group."

Meanwhile, at the New College, the conservative trustees appointed by DeSantis continue to change the college. "...leadership at the New College of Florida, where DeSantis appointees and allies abolished the diversity office and moved to cut gender studies, instructed student orientation leaders this week to remove Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ Pride pins from their clothes and bags as they worked during the college's mandatory introductory program for new students. The move drew immediate pushback from students who called it "infuriating." Xabier Rezola, a 21-year-old student and orientation leader at New College, said that he and all 17 orientation leaders were instructed to remove Black Lives Matter and Pride pins from their shirts. Rezola added that they were told to wear only their name tags."

DeSanta Claus is bankrolling XBoxes and Disney passes for homeschooled kids using funds that should be going to public education.

Florida school vouchers can pay for TVs, kayaks and theme parks. Is that OK?

A new list of allowable expenses for the publicly funded program is raising eyebrows.

As Florida lawmakers expanded eligibility for school vouchers this year, they also gave parents more ways to spend the money.

Theme park passes, 55-inch TVs, and stand-up paddleboards are among the approved items that recipients can buy to use at home. The purchases can be made by parents who home-school their children or send them to private schools, if any voucher money remains after paying tuition and fees.

The items appear in a list of authorized expenses in a 13-page purchasing guide published this summer by Step Up For Students, the scholarship funding organization that manages the bulk of Florida’s vouchers. Many of the items are similar to what was permitted for vouchers to students with disabilities in the past, but now they’re available to anyone who receives an award of about $8,000.

Conversations among parents in online discussion groups have sparked added concern.

Participants inquired about the possibility of vouchers paying for tickets for fan fests and conventions. They discussed whether they could get a television and a projector, or just one of those. They shared sample wording to submit for requests to get theme park passes paid for — something that was prohibited a year ago.

“Every child in Florida deserves an enriching, quality education,” said Holly Bullard, chief strategy officer for Florida Policy Institute, which has raised repeated concerns about the potential cost of voucher expansion. “But is it fair to students in our public schools, whose teachers often pay out of their own pockets for classroom supplies, that taxpayer dollars are being spent on Disney passes and big-screen TVs for voucher families?”

Some Florida activists raised concerns that the state could run into problems like Arizona faced, when its auditor general found education savings accounts being misspent on unauthorized items. Polk County school board member Lisa Miller, who has used vouchers for her nonverbal son, said Florida’s program was ripe for abuse even when it was more limited. She noted that many funding requests came around the winter holidays for items such as Legos and Xboxes.


“Our public school system would not be able to operate like this,” Miller said.

To Republicans, public school = bad.

Anything private and “Christian” = good.


Dumb F’ers.

I know these mf-ers don't care about their own hypocrisy, but man, after decades of fear mongering welfare by claiming people were abusing taxpayer funds to buy lobster, plus the whole cell phone panic.....

Every accusation is a confession.
 
So Desantis's surgeon general of Florida went on Hannity tonight and looked like a complete quack and urged everyone under 65 not to get the covid booster. I couldn't help myself so I googled his credentials. I was horrified to learn that Joesph Ladapo earned his undergrad degree....at......wait for it.......
Wake Forest University. Unbelievable.

He was in Piccolo my freshman year when I was in Palmer and I definitely remember seeing him around
 
Yeah my wife is licensed to practice in FL and got an email from the FL surgeon general and department of health stressing that there is no proven efficacy to the booster and the last third of the emails just touted DeSantis’ “COVID wins” - most things that were things he banned that never happened like COVID passports, etc.
 
DeSantis gets a lot of credit for fighting COVID restrictions when all he did was not lead and leave it up to everyone else to figure it out.
