Miami private for-profit school Centner Academy — owned by GOP mega-donors who charge up to $30,000 in tuition — bars vaccinated teachers from contact with students, citing anti-vax conspiracy theories #BecauseMiami nytimes.com/2021/04/26/us/…
School founder and CEO Leila Centner's Instagram is packed with debunked COVID anti-mask and anti-vax conspiracy theories and right-wing propaganda, many posts flagged for misinformation #BecauseMiami instagram.com/leilacentner/
Two years ago, the Centners opened the academy illegally over the protests of residents — then they paid off Commissioner @KeonHardemon and Mayor @FrancisSuarez #BecauseMiami
They opened Centner Academy illegally in August 2019 without a Certificate of Occupancy, so they hired @MiamiMayor Francis Suarez's law firm to lobby the city #BecauseMiami: crespogramnews.com/august-27th---…
Miami residents appealed the city's zoning exception for Centner Academy, then the owners made ten $1,000 "donations" from their various entities to Commissioner @KeonHardemon and, two weeks later, he personally intervened on their behalf #BecauseMiami: crespogramnews.com/sept-11th---ho…
The email Leila Centner sent last week tells school staff "reports have surfaced recently of non-vaccinated people being negatively impacted by interacting with people who have been vaccinated" and "reports of menstrual cycles being impacted and a 366% increases in miscarriages"
In 2020 alone, the Centners donated over $1 million to the Republican Party (national and state) and candidates in federal elections including Donald Trump and Rick Scott.
Centner also spread COVID misinformation in a letter to parents saying they will not employ vaccinated people: "it appears that those who have received the injections may be transmitting something from their bodies to those with whom they come in contact" #BecauseMiami

#BREAKING: Parents at Miami's Carrollton Catholic school, including Coral Gables Commissioner and mayoral candidate Vince Lago, complain that "diversity" is "anti-Catholic indoctrination," cite far-right anti-Semitic Frankfurt School/Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory in letter
155 parents and alum at private girls Catholic school want to remove "divisive language derived from critical theory worldview" from handbook that teaches "systemic racism; marginalized communities, systemic justice and inequality; racial equity; implicit bias, microaggressions"
This 1930s-era Germany anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, revived in recent years by "right-wing ideologues, racists and other extremists," rails against political correctness and "identifies Jews...as nefarious, communistic destroyers." — via @splcenter: splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

#BREAKING: New info in the Miami-Dade COVID-19 #VaccinesForVotes scandal: in addition to every county commissioner getting 100 vaccine slots each to control, @MayorDaniella got 1,300 for herself, then her office lied about it #BecauseMiami
Miami-Dade @MayorDaniella has been trying to (falsely) distance herself from the misguided plan that she endorsed on Friday just before it turned into a PR disaster as it was rejected by some commissioners amid claims of corruption, cronyism and pay-to-play politics #BecauseMiami Image
After giving 2,600 COVID-19 vaccine slots to @MayorDaniella and county commissioners to dole out to supporters, @JacksonHealth’s twisted game continued tonight: they tweeted a 15 minute warning for appointments then filled them all in 1 minute. #BecauseMiami #VaccinesForVotes Image

Tough to imagine a worse unforced error in @MayorDaniella's first week than appointing Jimmy Morales Chief Operations Officer. If her idea of "a new day" is to empower the same villains who made us the most corrupt county in America, it's going to be a long 4 years. #BecauseMiami
Everything @MayorDaniella says about Jimmy Morales here is a lie. How she can appoint him to such an important position in our county and be so staggeringly ignorant about his record is alarming. It's like she cancelled her own administration before it even started. #BecauseMiami
For the last 7 years, Jimmy Morales was the city manager who ran Miami Beach into the ground: the city has been paralyzed by corruption, pollution and violence. Exactly what @MayorDaniella promised to fix in Miami-Dade. Here are some lowlights of his disastrous tenure:

Review finds racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic content in all 32 issues of weekly insert printed in @MiamiHerald's @elnuevoherald, calling Michelle Obama "black monster," Africa the "ass of the world" and George Floyd an "ugly common criminal" miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
"Black Americans should be grateful for slavery," reads one column published in @elnuevoherald every Friday, "because it brought them to this country" and "says they have 'contributed nothing to the greatness of America,' and should decamp to Ghana if they don’t like it here."
The column also labels "LeBron James, Obama and Muhammad Ali, whom he insists on referring to as Cassius Clay" as racists, writing "There is no people in the world more racist than Black Americans, who are always accusing the whole world of racism."

#BREAKING: @MiamiHerald/@elnuevoherald publisher @MindyMarques and managing editor @nsanmartin printed and distributed a racist and anti-Semitic periodical published by a convicted fraudster EVERY FRIDAY for MONTHS inside their newspaper
"What kind of people are these Jews? They're always talking about the Holocaust, but have they already forgotten Kristallnacht, when Nazi thugs rampaged through Jewish shops across Germany? So do the BLM and Antifa, only the Nazis didn't steal; they only destroyed."
"Here [in the U.S.] they have lived in peace and prospered since the arrival of the first of them in the 18th century. They became the most prosperous immigrant group...until they were displaced from that position by the Cubans, who surpassed them..."
