Listen to this powerful speech by teacher Daniel Scott on why he and other Florida teachers are quitting. They’ve had enough of book bans, whitewashing history and erasing the LGBT community.

@Hausofpettymn Unfortunately, that's what antagonists want.. Their goal is to get people to quit and privatize everything. They are trying to do it by force, because every other method has failed.

Meet Liam. School officials punished Liam for wearing a shirt that challenged the government’s narrative—a troubling example of free speech being censored. Don’t let your rights slip away. Get our FREE “Know Your Rights” guide and stand firm in your convictions.

What's happening in my state is despicable.

Excellent truthful speech in Florida by a teacher. More teachers will quit the profession. Republicans have destroyed Florida.

@petermasom1986 This is what Republicans want so they can privatize schools for their buddies.

Parents have had enough, too. The difference is their voices are not dismissed in FL.

Enough of what? Accurate history? Compassion? Empathy?

And later on at the end, the superintendent (who she’s trying to fire) describes what it has been like to work the very board mom who was leading ‘the checking’ for those rainbow flags. The only one checking. 🙄

I'm so sick of politicians using "the children" as a scapegoat.

@ltgrusselhonore 11 parents in state of Florida have band 1k books!🤬 These same 11 Florida parents are responsible for over 50 teachers quitting their profession in 1 Florida county! Why do we the ppl let a very small minority rule us? Register, 🗳️ Dems up and down ballot! 🗳️ 4 democracy/freedom
