    This is despicable. Law enforcement should not be used as partisan props by politicians.

    Any display of partisanship by law enforcement is wrong. They are paid to serve the people in an unbiased manner, regardless of race, religion or political affiliation. This position by the officers undermines the public's trust that that is happening.

    If we have a border crisis (in Florida?), it's OUR border crisis, not the CnC's.

    DeSantis defends state decision not to order COVID vaccines for young kids BY MARY ELLEN KLAS HERALD/TIMES TALLAHASSEE BUREAU UPDATED JUNE 16, 2022 4:52 PM

    https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article262575177.html

    "Florida is the only state in the nation that has not placed preorders for the vaccines for young children, the Miami Herald reported on Wednesday. The decision leaves healthcare centers and pharmacies to obtain the supply on their own, potentially delaying access to the vaccines in Florida."

    What makes DeSantis dangerous is that he doesn't just oppose vaccine mandates, but he impedes delivery of the vaccines for those who want them. He's supposed to represent all Floridians, not just those he sucks up to.

    Similarly, he didn't just oppose mask mandates, but he ridiculed kids who chose to wear masks at an event and told them to take them off. It's none of his damn business if those kids wanted to wear a mask.

    But that's what authoritarians do.

    Yes, it's despicable for him to involve law enforcement in his partisan politics. I was angered when the County Sheriff showed up IN UNIFORM to give a speech supporting Trump in 2016. He should do that in plain clothes on his own time, not as the Sheriff in uniform.

    Teachers voice concerns after Orange County previews ‘Don’t Say Gay’ impact to classrooms

    ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Representatives for Orange County teachers sounded alarm bells Monday after word spread from principals that Orange County Public Schools would impose strict restrictions on classroom behavior after Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law, a.k.a the “Don’t Say Gay” law, took effect.

    In private, administrators-only seminars last week, OCPS attorneys advised principals what behaviors would and would not be legal under the law during a “Camp Legal” presentation.

    According to representatives of the county’s teacher association, teachers and staff members will be disallowed from wearing rainbow articles of clothing, including lanyards distributed by the district last year. Elementary-level teachers reported being discouraged from putting pictures of their same-sex spouse on their desk or talking about them to students.

    “Safe Space” stickers aimed at LGBTQ students may have to be removed from doors, teachers will have to report to parents if a student “comes out” to them and they must use pronouns assigned at birth, regardless of what the parents allow, the CTA reported.

    In 1967 all Florida teachers resigned en mass because of the working conditions and low pay. They got a lot of concessions from the state as a result. Considering how many higher paying jobs there are out there it might benefit the teachers, in more ways than one, to resign and let the school boards and other politicians to deal with the fallout. I’m sure parents might appreciate having their kids home again because no one will teach their kids.

    DeSantis attacks everyone, from a board member to Disney Inc, if they dare disagree with him.

    I’m sure he mentioned that.
    Just like the 80 million for Everglades restoration not long ago.
