Ex Alachua County School Superintendent @DrCarleeSimon, the victim of DeSantis's petty vindictiveness, fired after trying to protect students from a deadly pandemic, has created Families Deserve Inclusive Schools (FDIS) "in response to Governor DeSantis’ unprecedented attacks
on our public schools." FDIS was formed to "protect students, teachers and families from the Governor’s destructive education policies, ensuring that teachers and students feel safe in classrooms regardless of background and identity. “After two decades of budget restraints
and neglect by the Republicans in Tallahassee, it’s clear to everyone – students, parents, and educators – that Florida’s public school system has suffered. Now, Ron DeSantis seeks to force his extreme agenda on students. Far from a defender of parental rights, the Governor is
showing Florida – and the country – that his public education policy is anti-student, anti-parent, and anti-teacher.” Moving forward, FDIS will support school board&superintendent candidates who stand up to DeSantis’ anti-public education agenda. THIS IS HOW WE DO IT! #RemoveRon

"Ron DeSantis is far more dangerous than Donald Trump because he's more savvy, he's more coy & he doesn't have the pitfalls that Trump does. DeSantis will announce he's running for president on this notion of the 'free state of Florida.' Florida is not free if your kids can't be
exposed to the full curriculum that would make them smarter or better educated students; Florida's not free if you can't get a test or treatment for Covid; Florida's not free if you don't have access to the ballot box; Florida's not free if you're a voter who, thru your
municipal government you vote and, by majority determined home rule, and then Gov. DeSantis says 'I'm not gonna let you do that,' and he kneecaps local voters. Florida's NOT free. It's a narrative that Ron DeSantis is very successfully selling which is what makes him dangerous,
