A double dose of it as far as Florida is concerned.

2. florida is big on athletics.

perhaps we will have a chance to get more dems in office when the parents of kids denied these extra-curricular activities . . . not to mention the chance to make big bucks by going pro . . . come to their senses and get involved. our republic legislature is killing our state.

3. Pinellas County lost 5 middle schools a couple months ago.

The remaining classrooms must have 60 kids in each one.

4. Florida is controlled by the GOP and their primary goal is to destroy

public schools. Jeb is still roaming the halls in Tallahassee. At least Crist cancelled his luncheon with Jeb, and introduced Obama last week in Tampa instead. There are many taxes and loopholes that Jeb put in place that could be revoked in order to bring more money into the state. One of those is the Estate Tax which Jeb removed for his rich buddies. Our district is forced to close smaller schools, and by law have to offer the buildings to be used for charter schools. This takes operating funds away from the schools and into the hands of private companies. This is not a sustainable way to continue to offer a free education for all.
