US history. Units covering the declaration of independence and the constitution. Civics. Anything about the South. To Kill a Mockingbird. Math. Not to mention the structural racism inherent in the merit-based colonialist concept of test scores and grades associated with the teaching of said racist and/or non-racist doctri ... err ... curriculum.

Along with this there is an entire list of illegal meetings, illegal closed sessions and violations of existing policy on meetings. There was also a list of books that they were going to get rid of with no adherence to the districts policy on review and on and on.....

Same garbage, same ideologies, different location

Extreme right wing, those that operate as the my way or the highway crowd, same with the groups that have overtaken School Board meetings with their demands and no opportunity for anyone else to have an opinion that's different.
You were specifically speaking about Sarasota County.

What curriculum has been implemented to bring the Sarasota County school district into the 1950s?

Which dress codes were changed?

Your definition of extreme right wing is very broad; in fact, I could apply your definition to trans activists. Do you consider trans activists extreme right wing?

Do you consider respecting the candidates that won the election 'my way or the highway' mentality? Think candidates that literally won the popular vote should not reflect the popular vote values? Are you against democracy?

Yup that pretty much signals a right winger bootlicker is about to bust on the scenes with his ' all know (nothing) rants'

Wrap it in bow glorifying desantis and there you have it.

Now with that brief definition out of the way, most parents that are baked in the Florida heat may want to cool their heels.

The school
Teachers are educated . They know how to administer the courses . Most want each child to get a well rounded selection of reading, applications and capturing the knowledge . They don't need Mrs Kravitz playing she knows education better.
Oh it's all such rocket science. No wonder the average teacher's salary is $60k.

Liberals - ask yourself this - how is any of this actually helping either these kids or society? For 50 yrs we have done nothing but dumb our kids down. We no longer teach the basics or expect them to put any effort in learning. The youth can't make change unless a computer tells them the amt, most have a hard time with spelling, let's not even get into the history of our nation. It may be offensive so instead of learning from bad instances - we just scrub them.

We gave participation trophies to everyone so they didn't feel left out - now they expect everything for nothing and value little because they didn't have to work for it. They get bogus degrees that do not equate to a viable income for survival. The line what do you want to be when you grow up has a new meaning - it's no longer a policeman, engineer or teacher - it's non-binary - a furrie, or a unicorn.

There is rampant crime because there is no family unit, no one to say no to them. no one to tell them life isn't fair and to achieve you need to work for things not expect handouts.

You are the same people crying about the sexualization of women a few years back and now you are trying to obliterate sex all together. It's time to open your eyes and get your carp together because these "kids" are going to be the ones we'll be depending on in 10-20 yrs to take care of us and protect us. Send a bunch of your Soy boys, furries and non-bionaries against the military of another country and we lose - that's it.

Time to rein things in and get back to basics, family values and hard work. I don't care about their feelings or yours.

You still don't get Levity......

You asked for a definition, I'm not playing 20 rounds of semantics over it. Your Governor is against Democracy as his actions have reflected. As for the actions of the newly elected board, I hope he sues the hell out of them for breach of contract if applicable.

Wrong again! He followed the school board's policy directive. You really should go back and read your own link.

Forcing the resignation of a superintendent who had the support of the majority of the parents at the meeting (per the OP's link)? I dunno, you tell me how that's helping.

So you were lying then about what the Sarasota County school board is doing? Mmkay.

No one will be suing anyone. He resigned. He's been in talks with them ... to resign. And then he voluntarily resigned.

Can't sue if you quit. /shrug/

Do you also want to walk back the accusation that DeSantis "appointed" all members of the Broward County school board? That no voting took place?

Your posts are so filled with rage and hate and misinformation. Where are you getting your information????

That's what it comes down to.

Lefties are getting their panties in a wad because a state is very successful at weeding out child abuse at the hands of certain perverted educators.

God forbid we actually protect children. The left gets upset if we are not indoctrinating and warping the minds of children with their weird sexual fetishes right from the get go.

Hint: THAT CRAP AIN'T GONNA FLY HERE IN FLORIDA!!!

If we find you abusing students that way, you will be shown the door.

The majority of the parents at the meeting means nothing, the majority of the parents in the district wanted him gone. That is their right.

It's Farenheight 451 in half these school districts. Banning books! Why not just pile them up on the playground and burn them.

Another great step in the social decline of Florida. So glad I left that crime infested swamp 40 years ago.
Lol ... omg dial up the drama just a tad high?
The books they want removed are disgusting sexual content highly inappropriate for kids. It's pornography. Why are you in favor of porn for kids?
