The Florida House is moving legislation through their processes that would ban discussion of menstrual cycles and other sexuality topics in elementary schools. The bill passed the House Education Quality Subcommittee on Wednesday by a 13-5 vote, and it would also permit parents to object to books and other materials their children are exposed to, require schools to teach that a person’s sexual identity is determined biologically at birth and set up more scrutiny of certain educational materials by the state Department of Education. 

Former Vice President Mike Pence, once again, took time to criticize Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

  1. The CSC director should be fired immediately and never should have been hired to begin with. It was a DAILEY crime to put her in that position so that money could be controlled to go back to the DAILEY campaign. The director’s association with the recently two indicted Gillium campaign members is problematic and too close to home. The director was the number three person in this Gillum scheme and should never be allowed to have a position where she directs funds that are supposed to benefit children. The DAILEY graft continues.

  2. The CSC needs to be Disbanded NOW.

    Good for You FAMU.

    Awesome Florida House.

    Gov. DeSantis isn’t really wrong. Putin wants the Land for two reasons, 01= to try to rebuild the USSR. 02= for the Minerals.

  3. The CSC has no services other than lip service to provide to anyone and they want more money and more people to do nothing.

    It’s not like no one saw it coming, they hired Rose Green with a six-figure salary so she could hire three of her besties and then do almost nothing. Now they want four more to do even less, and if we don’t give it to them they will call everyone that doesn’t go along a racist.

    Less than half the kids in this county read on their grade level. While Rose Green cries for more money!

    Ceka Rose-Green is robbing this city blind.
