They were warned. They passed the voucher law anyway. Gov. Little said he wouldn’t support a law with no oversight. He signed the bill into law anyway. Now our tax dollars pay for religious schools & our services are cut. #idpol

Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank. A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring. We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down. Make sure that the truth will out.
