How can anybody have faith is this guy at this point?

Wow that’s a lot to take in there.
Here is what we learned-
He hates public schools, because most parents choose to send their kids to them and he fights against them everyday.
Parents never make mistakes.
Discrimination is okay if parents are okay with it.
There you go, this is Florida, this is us.
I think we deserve better.

Scott Maxwell, left this little nugget on Twitter today.
Um, how is this possible.
This is money diverted from the public coffers and the public isn’t allowed to know how much and by who?
Now some people might point to Step up for Students, the main voucher provider annual report, but that’s far from timely as their last published one was from the 17-18 year and where it did have a list of donors, how much they gave is suspiciously absent.

If this is such a great deal, why all the secrecy?
I think it’s worth noting once again that voucher schools can teach whatever they want, and take and kick out whoever they want for whatever reason, and their teachers don’t have to have certifications, let alone degrees, but for some reason, Tallahassee thinks that is a good deal. Oh what’s the reason? They want to destroy public ed.
Thankfully some companies as they find out they are funding discrimination, have decided to stop. Also from Maxwell’s twitter feed.
Fifth-Third Bank follows Allegiant airlines and Rosen Resorts — the original company that immediately pulled out, saying it wanted to fund school choice, but would never agree to fund blatant discrimination.
Many funders said they had no idea.
If you don’t know, now you know.
Um, shouldn’t schools that don’t do well get more resources to help them improve? This system seems ripe for cheating as well. I don’t know a lot of four year olds, but I couldn’t imagine the ones I do know, sitting for a high stakes test.
So what have we learned. Florida loves tests, sorry, loves paying for tests, even if they don’t make sense but at the same time it doesn’t care about tests as voucher schools don’t have to take any. Um what?!?
Shouldn’t the kids in voucher schools have to take as many tests as the state’s 4 year olds? I mean seriously.

This Sabatini guy is a real piece of work. He recently voted to make Jacksonville, a city he does not live in, vote to go from an appointed superintendent to an elected one, a manifestly terrible idea.
This is the thing, I am okay with school boards having 2 four year terms, but I think local districts should choose what’s best for them and the crazy thing is they currently can. Right now districts have the ability to choose how long board members can be board members. In short the voters already have that opportunity. What’s wrong with each city choosing? Well it doesn’t send the message to school boards which is get on board or we’ll come after you too.
Just like their attacks on the unions, this proposal is nothing but political payback for some group that dared to defy them.
Home rule also used to be a tenant of republican politics, but not anymore. Every few days you hear about bills that strip local counties of their authority, dogs in restaurants and sun tan lotion bands are two other ones that have been in the news recently.
Tallahassee has been a disaster for public education as they push their pro privatization anti public school agenda; along with terrible pay proposals, unsatisfying standards, and attacking unions, school boards and home rule are this session’s next victims. Where and when will it stop? Oh yeah when there is nothing left.
Friends your city should choose how long school board members sit. Not Tallahassee. Friends your city should choose how it is run and again not Tallahassee where con men and grifters have been purchased by lobbyists and special interests.
HB 1, sponsored by James Grant, is the latest legislative attempt to attack labor unions in Florida. The bill would require union membership to be an annual membership with each member having to sign up each year.
Let’s remember educators are public safety employees as well.
#HB1Friends, I don’t know what the FEA and Florida’s other teacher union’s one of which I am proud member of aren’t getting. DeSantis and the GOP want to destroy them but they aren’t alone on the list.
Superintendents, school boards, public schools, the teaching profession and unions are all on the GOP’s list to get rid of. They want to break the God Damn wheel and instead of fighting, we’re calling for honest conversations and going on bus rides, and the rally which I went to didn’t move the needle one bit, if anything it has motivated Tallahassee to work harder and faster to push their drown public ed in the bath tub agenda. Our prospects are fight or die and for evidence all you have to do is look towards Tallahassee where it is overwhelming.
The FEA should call a strike conference and invite all the parties, supers and boards too so we can discuss our options, which are two as far as I see it, fight or die.
Well friends in that same poll people also came out overwhelmingly for decriminalizing marijuana and since Fischer loves that poll, it’s no stretch to think he supports that as well. I mean unless he was being a hypocrite and trying to weaponize a poll. Also for those of you wondering, I am definitely for decriminalizing marijuana.
Wow that conservative christian mandarin rep all about the Mary Jane, I wouldn’t have believed it.
Oh and about that poll which said the city wanted an elected super, Emily Bloch of the Times Union did something which I am sure Fischer didn’t do and that’s follow up.
From the Times Union:
I have no doubt once people learn the ins and outs of electing a super they will be overwhelmingly against it.
The bottom line is Jason Fischer’s J1 bill, is a bad bill, put out for bad reasons by a bad representative.
We could and should be doing better. Fischer has to go.
