@Polish333 @RonDeSantisFL Pat, do you have a citation for the origins of this quote? Thanks, Kathleen

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis looked visibly annoyed and admonished a group of students who wore face masks at one of his appearances. https://t.co/Avkd8kpgfO

The real .DeSantis. If he see's you with a mask, this is where "choice" goes to die. He calls it "COVID theater" & he's the star. Where's the bullying scholarship for this?https://t.co/MNrb7bFsXJ @CarlosGSmith @AnnaForFlorida @momforpubliced @DMace8 @FLBaloney @emceeleman

This should’ve been an exciting day for these high schoolers. No hello, nice to meet you from the Governor. Instead a lecture because his props for his announcement didn’t look how he wanted them to.

Thanks to @CarlosGSmith sharing with @maddow that Central FL is about inclusion, not hate. Southern Poverty Law Center, says .FL has 68 known hate groups, the second-most in the nation. We have work to do. @palan57 @julieinjax @emceeleman @AnnaForFlorida @splcenter @ACLU

So proud of @CarlosGSmith for speaking @RachelMaddowSho tonight for most of .Florida against the antisemitism & hate on display in Orlando this weekend. This is not who we are. @mindygouldpta @FLBaloney @momforpubliced @DMace8 @live4literacy @KCastorDentel

This is Jason, Student Rep for Mia-Dade County Council PTA. Jason was in Tally today testifying against HB 1467-book banning and SB Member salaries. Jason said it’s HIS parent’s choice, not others, to determine if a book is detrimental for him to read. Agree! ⁦@DadePta⁩

No question about who these people are. https://t.co/ptWFwreUhP

[kathleen Oropeza @TheEdvocate]

Yes, @ChristinaPushaw we know they are Neo Nazis. https://t.co/gcmOctkuDn

[Daniel Uhlfelder @DWUhlfelderLaw]

Nazis have been spreading hate and violence for 2 days in Orlando and this is Governor DeSantis’s press secretary’s response.

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

.@FundEducationFL is right to be asking questions about @GovRonDeSantis' plan to "eliminate" FSA.

Is 'progress monitoring' a bunch of mini-high-stakes tests?

How will school grades, teacher evaluations, funding be determined?

Who gets a new testing contract?💰

🤔🤔🤔

[kathleen Oropeza @TheEdvocate]

Did .FL @GovRonDeSantis "eliminate" the FSA or trade a single standardized test for year-long embedded computer testing? 5 questions everyone should be asking. https://t.co/y4rUpx7G0p @SecCardona @BisforBerkshire @GwenGraham @USRepKCastor @FLBaloney

Embarrassing @GovRonDeSantis @richardcorcoran & @educationfl got dragged in court for violating the Parent Bill of Rights Law - central to the state's defense. https://t.co/KzMJKuFs6K @live4literacy @DMace8 @Network4pubEd @OptOutOrlando @FLBaloney @emceeleman @leylasantiago

#breaking: Miami-Dade School Board votes to require masks in schools. @CBSMiami

[Jeffrey S. Solochek @JeffSolochek]

I keep switching between @HillsboroughSch and @MDCPS board meetings online to listen to people argue about mask mandates. Close my eyes, I can't really tell the difference. I wonder when people will come to school board meetings to discuss education with such passion.

This is the FLDOH rule, just released, that the caller was asking about (it is not on the FLDOE website).

[kathleen Oropeza @TheEdvocate]

FL BOE CALL: Caller asks If Article IX, section 1 of the FL Constitution guarantees all students a "safe" environment. How does banning recognized COVID safety protocols such as masks fulfill that guarantee?

[kathleen Oropeza @TheEdvocate]

FL BOE passes emergency rule on student attendance records. On to Hope voucher to escape "COVID-19 harassment." Public schools, will lose public $$ thanks to this rule.

[kathleen Oropeza @TheEdvocate]

Its worrisome that the FL BOE is passing rules, inviting public comments when no one has read pending Dept of Health rule on COVID protocols in schools which will clearly impact students.
