Despite the lies from the Biden White House, Florida rejected an AP course filled with Critical Race Theory and other obvious violations of Florida law. We proudly require the teaching of African American history. We do not accept woke indoctrination masquerading as education.

Due to the pandemic, kids are behind in math and reading. We know how to help bridge this gap. I'm calling on schools to use American Rescue Plan funds to expand tutoring, summer learning, and afterschool programs and to provide 250,000 more tutors and mentors for our kids.

@MiamiHerald featured selective quotes and failed in the journalistic duty to provide necessary context to debunk misinformation. In fact, FL law requires teaching historical facts about slavery and the Civil Rights movement, which includes acknowledging past injustices.

This is historic. Thousands of Cubans are marching in Havana’s malecón demanding an end to the island’s 62 year-old communist dictatorship, chanting LIBERTAD. The regime is blocking their internet. The world must stand with the Cuban people. #SOSCuba

This is bad reporting. The new pathway, which passed unanimously through the FL legislature, was never designed to “fix” a teacher shortage. Its purpose is to support military veterans in finding employment as teachers in Florida, and it is doing just that.

SCOOP: Florida's vets to teacher program was supposed to fix the state's teacher shortage. So far, it hasn't. 6 mo.'s after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the program into law, only 7 veterans have been hired under the program across all 70+ school districts.

As the Governor said in his inaugural address, “Florida is where woke goes to die.” Florida’s colleges and universities should concentrate on providing students with a world class education, not indoctrinating them with critical race theory or other anti-historical nonsense.

No books have been banned statewide. New changes to law provide transparency so parents know what materials children can access in schools. Districts review books & decide whether content is pornographic or age inappropriate. This process protects student safety & parental rights

It’s Election Day, and school board races are on the ballot. Meanwhile, there have been hundreds of incidents of Florida public schools banning books lately, thanks to a new law making it easier for parents to challenge books they don’t like. We discuss at 9am. @WJCTNews
