    This hits home because I just got custody of my gay niece from Florida. (I’m not sure if it’s much better in TN with me.). She asked me last night why I cared about politics. I explained to her that my votes now shape her life for when she is an adult. I try to use that reframing with all my conservative friends. It’s not about me, it’s about her.

      no no no, it’s only indoctrination if it doesn’t align with their belief structure. This is just an classic old fashioned education

    I’m not from the US but everytime I read Florida and DeSantis I am ready for the content and I know it is going to be interesting.

    I mean, Florida has people who race away from cops and hide cocaine up the nose. It’s a wild state. People from my country really go on vacation to florida to experience this. Walmart is a highlight.

    A classic. They want more child pregnancies to lock poor families in debt, have more girls miss out on education and take advantage of them.

    This is what people who are sexual abusers do to prevent their victims from having the knowledge to understand what’s happening to them and that it’s wrong.

    I guess the kids in Florida will be learning from porn, with Florida teachers wagging their fingers.

    Now bow to your master, governor: bow to Trump, you worm!

    Parents, teach your kids this stuff, because public school classes won’t, and they’ll learn in the hot seat if you don’t…
