Florida School Districts Don’t Flinch In Face Of Escalated Funding Threat | Talking Points Memo

Anyone know whether you can stack sentences for multiple counts of child endangerment in Florida? Is it criminal there to attempt child endangerment?

Also: @summer_concepcion,

a growing amount of school districts

You measure amounts; you count number. So it would be a growing number of school districts, because we can count them. (As always, I am picking nits here. I very much appreciate your contributions to this site.)

Escalating? … the only Florida “escalating” I want to hear about is the relentless march forward with the DeSantis RECALL petition drive

It’s all crab grass down there. Not the kind that you find in the mid-Atlantic/Northeast, mind.

Bingo! Let the dominos fall!

So, either DeSantis backs off and concedes defeat or he escalates. Given what we know about this psychopath, escalation would seem to be his only face-saving (in his twisted little mind) option. More executive orders followed by arrests? Declaring a State of Emergency where the National Guard is sent into schools to rip masks off? Stay tuned.

Does Florida even have recall?

HAHAHA makes him look weak
No MEGA for you

Yes … and no … they have it for local positions - but the recall process does not apply to the Governor & a number of other state wide positions … however the intangible value of gaining a huge number of signatures - is worth something …

DeSantis has already been slapped down in his attempt to push the cruise line around … maybe he can get whacked again for endangering the lives of millions of kids…

DeSantis just refuses to understand why people are not eager to sacrifice their children to a highly infectious, potentially fatal, disease so that he can prove his tough guy, RW cred.

How he expects to profit by continuing to grandstand on this issue, even his his constituents die by the dozens, and after he has himself been vaccinated, is mind blowing.

Here’s hoping that the common sense shown by these leaders starts to take hold in other areas.

And wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a “face diaper”, for the same reason.

Well, at least there was no COVID then.

So, does mean that, if the CEO of Cyber Ninjas dies, then they’ll have to permanently halt the fraudit? Sounds like a win-win to me.
