Getting rid of quality education for the masses is how people in power can control the masses. RESIST Call your representatives. Talk to your kids teachers and admins. Stand with each other to RESIST. Our children deserve a good education! ~Retired teacher of 30 years in TX

Interesting. In Florida this is the culmination of 30 years of dismantling the public education system. They are already diverting tax-payer monies to religious charter schools. And then they have to nerve to throw around words like 'groomers'.
