Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr collects a six-figure annual salary from Florida's largest for-profit charter school company while legislating the destruction of public schools, misappropriating millions of tax dollars to his own employers #BecauseFlorida: sun-sentinel.com/local/miami-da… Image
Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr slashed public school safety funds by over $11 million prior to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, then voted NO on a special session to address gun violence #BecauseFlorida: miamiherald.com/news/local/new…
Florida ranks at bottom for education spending; Diaz colluded with @ErikFresenFL (brother-in-law of his charter school employer) to give charters more money with less accountability. Fresen went to jail for not filing a tax return during 8 years in office. miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…
These charter schools @SenMannyDiazJr gets paid to pimp while legislating the destruction of public schools are just another Florida fraud: we top the nation in charter school closures #BecauseFlorida redefinedonline.org/2016/02/florid… Image
After Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr voted against hearing a post-Parkland massacre assault weapons ban bill, he liked an article by sexist homophobe accusing Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School survivors of "lying" #BecauseFlorida: miaminewtimes.com/news/florida-l… Image
GOP @SenMannyDiazJr was accused of "malicious lobbying" for MCM, the construction company owned by @RepCarlos' family, whose negligence and pay-to-play political connections to @marcorubio led to the FIU bridge collapse that killed 6 people #BecauseMiami: miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/… Image
And Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr was accused of being a "pervert" and "inappropriate teacher" by his former students at Hialeah Miami Lakes High School #BecauseMiami miamiherald.com/news/local/edu… Image
Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr sent cease-and desist to radio show for airing allegations that he was a "pervert" and "inappropriate teacher” “who talked about rolling at [Club] Space" by his former students at Hialeah Miami Lakes High School #BecauseMiami floridapolitics.com/archives/39513…
And now Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr wants to "review" existing non-COVID vaccine mandates that have eradicated diseases and kept us safe for decades. This is homicidal recklessness and the opposite of virtue signaling (asshole signaling?). #BecauseFlorida floridapolitics.com/archives/45880…

“It’s a cult. It’s nowhere near a school": Miami Centner Academy — owned by GOP mega-donors who banned teachers from getting COVID vaccine — is "insane and dangerous," according to parents and staff #BecauseMiami: miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…
Founders David and Leila Centner are anti-maskers who cover the school's windows "to ward off potential radiation from 5G cell towers," make guests wrap their shoes in Saran wrap, and require non-disclosure agreements from employees who quit or parents who withdraw their kids.
While Leila Center demanded her employees disclose if they received the COVID vaccine, she praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis — who her husband just donated $30,000 to — for banning government, businesses and schools from requiring proof of vaccines "to protect our freedom."

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
