Why is the Florida Board of Education populated with low-life child-murdering scumbags?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a board that actually cares about the life and welfare of children (that is, after they're born)?
Florida Board of Education votes to sanction 8 school districts with mask mandates with no opt-out
The Florida Board of Education on Thursday voted to sanction eight school districts that have instituted Covid-19 mask mandates without giving parents the ability to opt their students out.
In doing so, the state board said that school districts in Alachua, Brevard, Broward, Duval, Leon, Miami-Dade, Orange and Palm Beach counties were not in compliance and directly violating a Florida Department of Health emergency rule.
And here's the especially heinous part:
As a penalty, Florida Board of Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran has requested that funds for each district be withheld "in an amount equal to 1/12 of all school board members' salaries," in addition to withholding any amount equal to federal grant funds awarded to those districts by President Joe Biden's administration.
That last provision amounts to intercepting money meant to go directly to school districts and diverting it to the state's coffer. It's more than just a "penalty", it's overt embezzlement of federal funds.
