  1. I'm done just turn the schools into military branches at this point. Clearly they don't care at all about the children just that they "seem busy"

  2. Notice how there were PRIVATE school kids surrounding the governor while he signed the new laws? Pretty sure the new laws affect PUBLIC school kids. Campaign stunt for privileged voters. If he was doing it to protect ALL children, he would have had a way more DIVERSE group of children surrounding him.

  3. What does the material that the law applies to have to do with algebra? CRT and gender theory has nothing to do with algebra and has no place in that class and that teacher needs to mind his own business and focus on the subject he was hired to teach. And if it’s not taught in grade k-3 like this lady said, then why does she have a problem with the bill? If she’s correct, then nothing changes for her.

  4. NBC seems confused. "FLORIDA LAWS GETS UNDERWAY "🙈

  5. england treat covid just medicine food water? not mask because love human? some time mask because smoke bacteria?

  6. I love how the teachers are just reacting basically like "…what?" in the most apathetic tone ever of how clearly they trying to be used to prote someone's "conservative" re-election campaign

    Beneath it all is just this subtle understanding that, ope, another way a parent who hasn't taught their children a single thing since how to balance on two legs could request a teacher be fired *sigh, eye roll

  7. I am in FL a mother, with children in school and I dont see anything wrong w these bills thanks Ron.

  8. Uh math? Science? English? Teach objective verifiable facts … that’s your job. If teachers don’t like that, then they can become social media influencers.

  9. Does the US not have a humans rights code where LGBTQ+ are protected from discrimination? If so then you are allowed and should be acknowledging the existence of these groups. If you can talk about heterosexual crap than you should be able to talk about any other orientation. 
    IF the parents are that butt hurt about it than pull your kid out and homeschool them in your little bubble of bigotry. They are gonna have to face the world eventually and they will realize not everyone is like you. Or put them in a religious school.
    But public schools are secular and should be upholding the legal protections of ALL citizens.

  10. Just like religion questions teachers should say we don’t talk about this in schools

  11. Vote blue! I like being woke! I'm not sleeping through all the crap the republicans are doing! I don't blame the teachers for quitting!

  12. Get politics out of our classroom, students already struggling enough growing up. Teacher already have enough work.

  13. If the kid has a question and a teacher can't answer it have him go home and speak to their their parents

  14. Will Deathsantis prosecute school children for talking about gender identity issues among themselves? 🙄🙄🙄

  15. Bro that a hot Asian news anchor

  16. DeSantis is a terrible leader for Florida. Censoring information that prevents diverse thought, inclusion of others different than you, tolerance, etc – will set Florida's kids BACK.

  17. This is what it must be like to be a teacher in North Korea. You fear.

  18. All we ask is leave the children and animals alone

  19. If you go to your local public library childrens section you will find books about lgbq people, trans children, feminist babies, ect. Soooo why wouldn't it be in school libraries?

  20. It used to be that you home schooled children to teach them about your religion. Now you have to home school to prevent them from teaching your kids there religion. I feel really bad for these teachers and the kids that further feel like they can't talk to a trusted teacher about there real feelings about there own body.

  21. Octavio Hernandez needs to be fired 🔥🔥🔥

  22. Kids these days need help. If you can't accept that you came out a girl or boy that's your mental issue

  23. ''teachers are afrais to say something parents are too busy to get involve.'' That is so true. Everything was planned to gain control of kids.

  24. Curious as to what this is really all about? It's about the GOP's ongoing war on American education. Why? Because by subverting it, they keep people dumbed-down, and dumb people are easier to manipulate and control and they don't become smart enough to realize what's actually going on.

  25. how can they have a parental rights law, which includes medical, and make parents of transgender children into pedophiles or monsters? doesn't make a lick of sense. So, DeSatan, Bless Your Heart!

  26. I imagine normality in the classrooms would be confusing for many of these liberal teachers.

  27. "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

    "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:38-39•

  28. I wait for a day where all American teachers are brought up on Nuremberg like trials for your crimes against humanity. Chemically castrating our little kids & butchering & mutilating their bodies for your sick marxist agenda.Turning our children into reproductionless useless bodies only capable of paying taxes but not enjoying life like we have for over 6k yrs now.
    Denying our Creator. Teaching them to hate themselves, their parents, their skin & their nation. Seditious & evil to the core. & you got the nerve to open your mouths to complain.
    Professing to be wise they became fools
    Romans 1:18-32
