#NoOn1#WhyWeVote
The Governor of Florida @GovRonDeSantis is too busy pushing for initiatives like Amendment 1 and appointing @Moms4Liberty candidates in our school boards, instead of pushing for the proper allocation of resources into our schools and improving the education of K-12 students.
Children are not partisan and Florida schools shouldn't be either. Lawmakers have constantly implemented policies inviting political views into our schools. We should instead be centering our students and advocating for a better education system in Florida. #NoOn1
While the majority of students are struggling to read at grade level, leaders like @SpencerRoachFL are pushing forward initiatives like Amendment 1 instead of investing in our communities and in the education of Florida students. Vote no on Amendment 1! #NoOn1FL
