Never before have I been so concerned and extremely frustrated with a school year…than the present…
Having had such hope with President Biden funding our schools though the American Rescue Plan….
However, because our Country is so divided… Republican controlled states are causing such chaos between state and local school districts… over the safety of our children due to the new delta variant…
This new variant is causing children to be hospitalized and even dying…
And we here in Florida have our Governor Ron DeSantis, who does not care!!!
His hashtag being known as… #DeathSantis…
Because… He is making reckless decisions based solely on his political aspirations, appealing solely to his base rather than the safety of our children…and the people of Florida…
Especially…prohibiting the mandate of wearing a mask…And refusing to mandate those older than 12 to get vaccinated… these necessary, safety protocols….
#DeathSantis does not want school districts to provide the necessary safety protocols!!!
And will even go to great lengths to withhold funds…
Many of our districts are rebelling…They know wearing a mask is essential to protect our children hospitalizations and deaths…And DeSantis is not allowing a true count of how many are really affected!!!
There are those citizens here in Florida litigating his authoritarian mandates…And if there was a remote possibility, even recalling him would definitely be an option…
Our only real option is to continue with #goodtrouble…As the late Representative John Lewis had said…And pass John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act… Before it is too late…
