    I can’t even bring myself to read the article. The headline alone makes me want to break something.

      Same. I know it will boil my blood and I can’t right now. I’m disgusted by the mere notion, however embellished and click baity.

    Doesn’t Florida’s new censorship laws allow parents to sue over things that they disagree with to get books and curricula banned? Is there some reason this couldn’t be litigated?

    This logic is a bit like having a young child die and saying “well her parents don’t have to pay for college now.”

    Like…what the fuck man.

    Has anyone explored pulling accreditation from the schools?

      I could be wrong, but I think Florida has established its own accreditation system.
