    Desantis: "Some of you will die. But that is a risk I'm willing to take."
  • This does not fix the problems in Floridas education system at all. I am in favor of opening as many avenues as possible for student support and community relations. I’m concerned this however, 1. Will not keep the school environment a neutral place; 2. May implicate political and religious influence for students; 3. Does not address more pressing issues in the state’s education system. I’d like to see DeSantis free up funds to give teachers a livable wage so that there is healthy competition for teaching positions to attract, recruit and retain QUALITY teachers. Create a salary schedule based on
    Years of experience and education/clock hours do that teachers are motivated to stay and seek continuing education. Moreover, we need to allocate funds under general education so that schools are funding curriculum materials as opposed to having teachers 1. Dig into their unlivable wages to buy learning materials. I could go on. But I need to sleep,

    Why do they need a law to invite people to the schools? This seems like overreach.

    THANK YOU Governor DeSantis. These opportunities for children for sports is so great. So good for kids. Yes, like when we grew up! Also bringing in experienced people to introduce job opportunities is so needed. I think that if a child is given the information about different types of work or jobs, it gives them a goal, an early start to figure out what they want to do. Excellent things included in these bills. Chaplains, how wonderful! Many children need support in their lives, which includes God, who is in many children’s lives. I am so happy to hear about this. Common sense laws! Absolutely! Governor DeSantis is doing all the right things, things that have been so needed to be brought forward for our children and families. So glad to have him as our governor and to be an example for other states. Everybody is moving here, more than 1000 people a DAY! There is a reason, and this is one of them!

    In the military, a chaplain is more like a counselor. They accommodate all religions and are generally just there for you and your personal wellbeing. Like a therapist…

    Good. A needed counterbalance to the activist queerfolk in schools.

    Do something to stop the rent gouging that has taken place in Florida! The rent prices have tripled!
  • @cbbcbb6803
    Is student participation in preserving and promoting the use of indigenous languages and religion patriotic?
    And can the chaplain be of any religion?

    Another reason my family will never vote for another republican here in Florida. Keep any faith structure out of schools.
  • DeSantis does not care about WE THE PEOPLE ... He loves Power and Money.
