POPS is very concerned about the rapid movement towards implementing Florida state-issued school vouchers while simultaneously moving towards militarizing public schools by arming teachers. Read my thoughts on this situation and dangerous historical precedents.

This POPS forum is more important than ever now that Academica's FL Sen Manny Diaz has written legislation that allows classroom teachers to carry guns. He will hold a hearing next week, two days before anniversary of Parkland. We must stop this insanity. Ban assault weapons.

@JeffSolochek @AndrewGillum @BillGalvano What "reality" are they dealing with when you sweep millions of dollars out of the Sadowski Trust Fund for Affordable Housing to artificially balance other parts of the budget @BillGalvano? Is it that you can't find the money for teacher salaries, or just maybe that you won't?

Truth is important and facts matter. The facts remain that #Florida under @FLGovScott is still in the bottom 50th of #education spending, and after adjusting for inflation we still spend less than before the Recession.

The @FloridaEA wants to make sure that #education voters know what is at stake with #Amendment5 -

“A study found that FL spends 22% less per pupil than before the recession. Making it harder to raise revenue could result in deep cuts to schools.”
