The DeathSantis kingdom of Florida.   DeathSantis is the warlord / feudal lord who wants to be king of the country.   He thinks his kingdom is above the federal government.   He has fought Biden on every measure to protect the public from Covid going so far as to demand businesses not follow federal rules then either.  No matter how the courts ruled against him like his mentor TFG he claimed he won and was still the king.   Hugs

Florida is advising school districts to ignore protections for LGBTQ students that President Joe Biden’s administration is trying to implement

Florida advised school districts to ignore protections for LGBTQ students that President Joe Biden’s administration is trying to implement, saying the anti-discrimination language is not binding law and following the guidance could result in breaking state law.

Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz wrote to school districts Thursday saying they should not change current practices because of proposed new rules under Title IX that would extend sexual discrimination protections to students based on their gender identity or sexual orientation.

“Nothing in these guidance documents requires you to give biological males who identify as female access to female bathrooms, locker rooms, or dorms … or to allow biological males who identify as female to compete on female sports teams,” Diaz said.

He added that doing any of those things would “jeopardize the safety and wellbeing of Florida students and risk violating Florida law.”

But Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, the only statewide elected Democrat and whose agency overseas school lunch programs, said the matter wasn’t just about bathrooms, but also about feeding students. The United States Department of Agriculture requires schools to put up a poster on nondiscrimination in order to receive federal money for lunch programs, she said.

“This is a fictitious culture war that they have created that is going to deny kids food,” Fried, who hopes to challenge Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, said at a news conference. “I will do everything possible to ensure that Florida’s kids are not victimized by the DeSantis administration and denied their meals.”

Fried’s department recently told schools they should hang posters with the new language. The Diaz letter told schools to disregard that guidance because it could violate state law.

Last year, DeSantis signed a bill banning anyone assigned male at birth from participating in girls’ or women’s sports. This year, he signed a bill that prohibits discussion of gender identity or sexual orientation in public schools at least through grade 3.

Earlier this month, a federal judge in Tennessee blocked implementation of the proposed new federal protections after 20 states sued over the issue.

So, withhold federal funds from Florida schools, mayhaps?

 

Vote DeSantis OUT!

They’re allergic to pronouns. The WE is very scary.

 

Needs more targeting. Withhold funds from schools that do not protect ALL their students.

 

Their public schools are already cratering (by design for privatization) because the teachers are retiring and leaving in droves, leaving a massive deficit – they’re hiring veterans with no teaching experience at dozens of elementary schools (and that’s just one example)

Take the Fed money, follow the Fed rules.

Unless you are a religion, and the last time I checked, Florida’s public schools are not religious institutions…yet.

 

The (public) schools need both federal and state dollars. The FL DoEd under DeSantis doesn’t give shit the bind that they’ve created for the schools or the students. They’re just in a partisan pissing match.

 

Yep, it is the partisan pissing match that is the priority.

When I was younger, I thought, well, I’ll wait until the prejudice old people die off, then maybe retire to Florida. Sadly, I’m a senior now, and nothing has changed in that state. It’s like hate, prejudice, and religion really kick in down there when someone turns 50.

Gab CEO: Christians Will “Take Dominion” Over You

Well he is saying the quiet part out loud and proud.   Over you!!   In the name of their Jesus!   They will discipline this nation, meaning us that are not religious fanatics like them or follow their church doctrines.    Wonder if we will all have to go to church, their church of course?  What about other religious faiths, will they be allowed?   I already know the Jewish faith is a no-no for them.    I already know what will happen to my people.  How are you at dodging large stones?    This is the American Taliban folks.   They have seen how it worked in Afghanistan and they liked it.   They are the US ISIS, those who would rule by their religion with force.    Hugs

Via email from Gab CEO Andrew Torba:

We are forming a Christian Nationalist movement and in order to be in any position of influence or leadership in the movement you must be a Christian.

We are no longer going to answer to people who do not share our values and represent a diametrically different worldview that only 2% of the country holds.

We are the 70%+ super majority in this country and we are going to do everything we can to take dominion and disciple this nation for the glory of Jesus Christ our King.

As I have said in my previous articles and videos they have pushed us too far by locking down our churches, masking our children, and forcing us to inject a foreign substance in our bodies in order to keep our jobs.

We are no longer being silent. The silent majority is getting loud and speaking the Truth of God’s Word and the Biblical worldview boldly.

The email ends, as they all do, with a money beg. Jesus needs money. Always.

“We are no longer being silent.”

When in the long history of Christianity have Christians been silent? When has the imposition of their private beliefs on public law not been their goal? When have christians not insinuated themselves into positions of power favoring other Christians for positions below them? When have Christians not steered public dollars to private pockets?

The exact goal they are working towards. Domination of others is the goal. But of course, those in charge will be exempted.

The bill, which would give health care to sick veterans, is being held up by Cruz and his Senate Republican colleagues who are giving patently false reasons for blocking the bill.
