Desantis is using covid to break public schools & get vouchers for private schools

[themaguffin]

Fucking asshole.

It's already started.

Florida's Board of Education on Friday approved private school vouchers for parents who feel their children are experiencing "COVID-19 harassment" from school district virus safety measures, the Associated Press reported.

"'COVID-19 harassment' means any threatening, discriminatory, insulting, or dehumanizing verbal, written or physical conduct an individual student suffers in relation to, or as a result of, school district protocols for COVID-19, including masking requirements, the separation or isolation of students, or COVID-19 testing requirements, that have the effect of substantially interfering with a student's educational performance," the rule reads.

Parents can request the vouchers if they feel their child is experiencing "COVID-19 harassment" for things such as mask mandates under provisions usually meant to protect children that are being bullied.

1. Sending kids to private schools that will not be open long.

Class rooms full of masked kids.

[themaguffin]

[Texaswitchy]

5. The kids will be masked.

No way they will be unmasked.

All Republicans kids will be masked.

And get the shots.

It is just everybody else's kids that will murdered.

2. While putting the children in danger . ....

typical republican.

4. that's his game

charter schools. Now I get this. They are trying to make public schools something of the past.. bastards... (can I say that word?)

[Mr.Bill]

6. Here's how vouchers will work.

The private bible-thumping school you want to send your kid to charges $10,000 a year. You can't afford that, because apparently, you don't love Jesus enough for him to shower you with money...but I digress.

The state gives you $10,000 to send your kid to that school. Within a year or two the school is charging $20,000 and you still can't afford it. You send your kid back to the public school and if it's still there it is so underfunded that it's barely functioning.

16. Sounds like all

Tv/Wi-Fi packages in America. Weasels.

[Mr.Bill]

17. it's also what happened to college tuition

when the government started guaranteeing student loans. The colleges started gouging.

7. In reply to #4 and #6

and then the real dumbing down of America will begin. No actual history, only faux patrioatic bullshit, pledge allegiance and sing the song or be expelled, science down the drain, a moment of silence will become a diatribe on jeebuss and who knows what else?

It's no wonder the richie riches waited until the last Antifa soldiers are dying off to do this shit.

[Texaswitchy]

8. They do not need them anymore.

Just to get Trump in office.

Now they can just steal the elections outright now.

The rich will have their own private Army.

9. Eric Prince et al

they will need cannon fodder though. There's resources to grab and make money off of.....just gotta push the right buttons.

[Phoenix61]

10. I think that's more for political theater.

Parents have to provide transportation. The school has to have an opening. Private schools here are requiring masks.

[tanyev]

11. I wondered about that.

There must be some private schools in Florida that require masks. I wonder if a student in a non-masking public school could get one of those scholarships to go to a masking private school?

[Phoenix61]

18. If they are being bullied for wearing a mask it's only fair. nt

[Hekate]

12. Well, well

[Crunchy Frog]

13. So parents can get vouchers if they want their kids to die.

So they can go to special Covid Death schools.

I think that sane parents won't take him up on the offer.

[bluestarone]

14. This HIS way to give more money to religious schools?

That's how i see it! Florida taxpayers will be happy i'm sure.

[Volaris]

15. But WHY are you 'harassing' my kid?!?!?!

Um...because I CAN, because being a walking petri dish
IS NOT A PEOTECTED CLASS.
Yes, its discriminatory. It's also NOT illegal.

Go fuck yourself.
