This is the Senior Chancellor at @EducationFL and he is very vocally opposed to diversity, inclusion, equity and pretty much anything else the "left" values. So under his leadership what "classical aims" have been restored? 1/3
Well first, in Florida approved curriculum, the federal government is being framed as an occupying force in Southern states. This ideology has directly led to things like #WACO and the #OklahomaCityBombing
Second, this curriculum paints the Union as an invading force in the Confederate South which isn't just dangerous but is also factually inaccurate given that the Confederacy was never a legitimate nation.
Today marks 30 years since the Feds chose violence and began the siege of the Mount Carmel compound in #Waco, Texas. The siege, chosen in favor of simply arresting David Koresh outside, resulted in almost 100 dead and dozens of children burned alive. @FBI @ATFHQ #weaponization 
@FBI @ATFHQ Congress missed a crucial opportunity to reign in weaponized federal law enforcement.
Notably, the Congressional investigation cost up to $12 million dollars (unadjusted for inflation), which is almost 6 times the size of the current Weaponization Sub Committee's budget.

Two decades later, U.S. law enforcement is back to where they started: Declaring that white, right wing violent actors seeking to attack government institutions are America's greatest threat. #RubyRidge #Waco #OklahomaRedux ctc.usma.edu/twenty-years-a…
I don't neccesarily agree that extremists in our military are a danger. Its just far too easy to investigate those who are already in the database. I remember the days of the UN New World Order and Soldier of Fortune Conventions at the Sands. splcenter.org/news/2008/12/0…
"racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, and militia violent extremists.... the top domestic violent extremist threat comes from “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.. those who advocated for the superiority of the white race.”justice.gov/opa/speech/att…
#Congressman Bill Flores has contributed to four people running to succeed him, then asked one of them to return the contribution for pledging to join the House Freedom
Caucus. Now he has endorsed the candidate that his own consultant is working for in this race.

When I am #elected to represent CD-17, I will begin with more seniority than Rep. Flores has now. That seniority will help deliver highway funding, support our research institutions, promote our agriculture community and protect #Waco and Bryan-College Station in redistricting.
That same seniority will help me also deliver on the key issues facing our nation: changing our immigration laws, building the southern border wall and balancing the budget.
