Bills to oppose re: Education
House Bill 1 / Senate Bill 202 School Choicedeceptive name. Implementation will devastate public school district budgets by diverting public taxpayer dollars to fund private schools and homeschooling. Could end up diverting $4 billion dollars from Florida public school funding in the first year alone (Florida Policy Institutecheck out their website for more info on this and other bills).
Ultimate goalruin public schools, privatize education in Floridano good can come from defunding public schools. Supporters want to make money off the backs of our children. Any family, no matter how wealthy, can get up to $8,000 a year to send their child to any school or just homeschool. Fiscally irresponsible, weakens separation of church and state.
Senate Bill 202 adds a nasty little twistderegulation of public schools.
House Bill 999 / Senate Bill 266Attack on higher education. Seeks to control viewpoint and content throughout all academic activity in the entire Florida higher education system. Outlaws spending any money to fund diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Bills to oppose re: Womens Healthcare
House Bill 7 / Senate Bill 300Six week abortion ban. Just no. You know why.
