I am at a conference and attended a session entitled “Fearless Leadership.” This slide explained so much of what is going on in #Florida classrooms today… When people are afraid, they cannot learn. Fear is a contagious disease.

“…Florida (and other states) have gone way beyond "pornographic and sexually explicit." Not only have they gone way beyond that, but they've done it in broad and vague terms…”

1. What is the purpose of a school library?

To cultivate a love of reading?

To expose students to new ideas and perspectives?

FLORIDA has a different definition.

The DeSantis administration says the purpose of a school library is to "CONVEY THE GOVERNMENT'S MESSAGE"

#Florida “School choice fans like to brand public schools as “government schools,” but it turns out that the government has far more control over a voucher school, because it can cut off all funding for any reasons, including reasons of politics.” https://t.co/MII8sm3mVd

@j_fishback Debate also changed my life. In the 70s we were trained to analyze all arguments in an issue and prepare to defend both sides.
Any ideological reasoning by debate judges is antithetical to the principles of debate.
I thought “the spread” was the death of college debate.

JUST what America needs! More revenge politics.
What vengeance would DeSantis wrought if he were president? (Independents hear us!)

“A recent Florida audit of the state’s charter school administration still shows a lack of oversight and business dealings that could be seen as conflicts of interest.” https://t.co/1xi6pMwEfd
