As more than 3 million students head back to school, Governor DeSantis and the Florida Department of Education sent parents a so-called “Back to School” letter.
As more than 3 million students head back to school, Governor DeSantis and the Florida Department of Education sent parents a so-called “Back to School” letter.
Instead of welcoming families, the letter urged parents to monitor and report teachers, turning our classrooms into a place of mistrust and political espionage instead of a place of learning and growth. Is this really the lesson we want our kids to learn?
DeSantis wants us to treat educators like enemies and our children like problems to control. That’s not the Florida we believe in, and it’s not the environment we want our kids to grow up in.
It’s time to send a message of our own: Your voice today can be a beacon for every parent and student, here in Florida and nationwide. Stand with parents and families who want great teachers, safe classrooms, and kids who feel valued. 📝 Add your name: act.eqfl.org/a/back-to-sc...
