Ron DeSantis wants to strip Disney workers of free passes and discounts, arguing it sucks millions from Florida's economy
Before DeSantis appointees took over the governing board, around $2.5 million was given to district employees and their families, the board argues.
Has Desantis given any thought to where he will live after governor term ends and a failed presidential bid? He might not find Florida very welcoming for his career after power base is gone. This guy is an idiot.

If I were a parent at that school, I'd be screaming for someone's head.
Pretty good. Reminds me of a photo a buddy of mine took of a Grouper he caught down in the Bahamas with a big chunk missing - obviously taken by a Barracuda. His caption" "The taxman cometh!"

Neo-Nazis parade swastika flags in Florida, chanting 'We are everywhere'

How is it even possible these days that people would worship Hitler? Did they not go to school? Do they not know about the Holocaust? Do they think Hitler was a nice guy because he was a racist?
It's hard to imagine.
This is a C&P from a present teacher in FL, which she shared on the page of an old friend of mine who is a retired FL teacher, now living in California. I couldn't copy the list of banned publications, but it included the like of "Bicycling," "Bon Appetit," and "The Greatest Golf."
I don't know if this is a M4L thing or just a Desantis/facism in Florida thing, but I'm a Palm Beach County teacher. My blood pressure is skyrocketing as I write this.
Our county sent a list of banned materials for the classroom including Time, Smithsonian, The Atlantic, and even Duolingo! We are waiting to "vet" Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Strunk and White's "Elements of Style" (the grammar and writing go to guide for decades).
Sometimes I feel like this job is literally going to kill me. The stress, anxiety, and lack of respect is soul crushing.
I don't even know what to say or do, but I needed to vent and share with a group who might listen...
It's not censorship - it's protecting children!
I agree. Not defending bigots, but there have always been people who hated other groups of people. That’s diminished as we’ve become more civilized but it will always be there.
But worshiping Hitler? Even if you don’t like Jews, you are a special kind of nutjob if you think killing six million of them is something to be admired.
I also think Stalin was a Level One psychopath, for those think hating Hitler=loving Stalin.
it is currently on a very disturbing upward trend in the u.s. these past few years
I'm haunted by the words of my next door German neighbor, back in the early '70s, when I tried to convince her "it" couldn't happen here. She insisted it could. She passed a few years ago at 95, while Trump was in office. The similarities disturbed her. Remember that Hitler was, at first, elected...
Easier with the internet. Nobody is going to show up if you put up a sign inviting people to join your new Klan chapter. The anonymity of the dark web lets you be a Klukker from the privacy of your mother’s basement.
they are showing themselves a lot more brazenly in public too
They organize on the internet and get all brave after ranting in an echo chamber and decide to have a march. Then they wonder why they lose their job if they are seen on the news.
