When DeSantis says teacher requirements are too rigid, what he’s actually saying is it needs to be easier to install unqualified teachers who can indoctrinate children using conservative ideology and revisionist history.

They scream “groomers” at the top of their lungs as they want curriculums to deny the existence of the LGBTQ community and this country’s history of slavery. Not to mention turn schools into shooting ranges.

1. Asshat says what ?

[TheBlackAdder]

29. Florida should rehab convicts as teachers. It'll be cheap, only a couple of packs of smokes a day.

[robbob]

37. And many of them already are experienced

in using a firearm, so there’s that…

[MyOwnPeace]

6. I'm hoping you 'forgot' the 'sarcasm' hickey.......

otherwise, I find your post offensive and inappropriate.......

[EYESORE 9001]

14. I was composing a reply, only to find the post got hidden

Just as well, as mine may have been hidden as well.

It’s bad enough that MAGAts are doing everything possible to destroy our education system without coming here to find contemptible statements about teachers.

[MyOwnPeace]

3. Just like 'government' - GAWD FORBID

we actually have "QUALIFIED" people in our classrooms and government offices........

[Samrob]

4. GAWD they love the "poorly educated." nt

[Conjuay]

5. for too long

The requirements to be governor have been too lax.

[femmedem]

24. Ha ha ha!

Thanks for the laugh!

[sakabatou]

7. "So instead, we want 'teachers' that don't need to know anything about any subject

or teaching in general."

[Irish_Dem]

8. DeSantis youth camps.

Indoctrination of children.

Who will rat out their parents and friends to the GOP storm trooper militia.

Don't laugh, this is the plan.

[bronxiteforever]

9. God Emperor Desantis. Guarantees young Floridians

can’t compete with other countries. Math and science scores are going to crater. But he will cheat on reporting them like he usually does with any accountability ratings.
Florida is one totally screwed up state in the hands of the chief law enforcer, chief educator, chief elector and pope of all morals for all Floridians. I am surprised he hasn’t changed the state name to Desantis. I hope we keep this strange and warped man away from federal power.

[Solly Mack]

10. That statement alone lets you know how little they value teachers.

[bluestarone]

31. TRUE!

I feel this statement is even bad for Veterans! I take his words to mean even veterans to be dumb? What a DUMB ass!

[Deuxcents]

11. Yes..he wants to end public education and now he's dumbing down

Our educators by threats n replacing them w/ unqualified people. I read where we need 8,000 teaching positions filled n school starts in a matter of days..not months. This guy has got to go.

12. This has to be some kind of "put on."

I wonder if DeSantis believes his own shit or is he just trying to see how much he can get away
with? Hey I was a marine and I believe in Jesus now let me teach something and i promise not
to talk about slavery, the civil war, Jim Crow laws, climate change, science, or what happened to
all those Indians when "we" took over.

The fracturing of America along some kind of made up bullshit so as to allow a right wing Christo Fascist
take over is not a matter of speculation anymore.

[no_hypocrisy]

13. DeSantis will make it impossible for any public school graduate to attend any decent

college or university. They simply won't have the requisite education, skills, and thinking ability.

[Laffy Kat]

15. "Too ridgid"! You mean like having an effing teaching degree?

JHC.

[Jarqui]

16. This is a fight for the minds of Americans

All this shit he's doing banning books and preventing things like Critical Race Theory from being taught is diverting and warping American minds

This guy is far more dangerous than Trump

[appalachiablue]

40. +1

[BeyondGeography]

17. Running low on teachers, eh?

[orthoclad]

18. Trump's successor?

Now that Trump is toast, The Powers That Be (I love that phrase) need a new puppet. Dessie is skilled at the MAGA rage tropes.
Is the successor what they mean when they say Ultra-Maga?
Next!

[Lulu Latech]

19. Without training I can't imagine any of those Veterans would last a week in a Jr High Classroom....

Given the salary, lack of support, academic expectations and over crowded classrooms most wouldn't want to do the job. It will be interesting to see how this stupidity will shake out.

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. Arrogant asshat.

What an &^%$R&^%^%#^%^*&^*&.

[snowybirdie]

21. But he

sends his own children to private school where all the teachers are certified and qualified.

[Baitball Blogger]

33. Yep.

Can't believe these people would be capable of running a business.

[gibraltar72]

22. He's the dummy. Larry Arnn is the ventriloquist.

[FloridaBlues]

23. I hope this statement goes into every local newspaper and parents vote him out

What an insult to the teaching profession. He already has unqualified vets teaching in Florida and their spouse. Can you imagine doing that will little to no teaching knowledge.
No disrespect to vets but this is none sense.

[EnergizedLib]

25. Uh, no kidding DeFascist

Maybe not just anybody should be a teacher entrusted with children, just like maybe not just anybody should be president or hold elected office.

[Chainfire]

26. Yea, Right Ron... Teaching our children is so easy even a caveman could do it.

Those college educations just teach people to be liberals...

[TheBlackAdder]

30. There is one that's a lawyer.

.

[Master Jah-Remi]

27. What a tiny tiny fool.

Heart surgeons, nuclear power plant engineers and Astronauts; for far too long these jobs have only been available to intelligent, educated, and qualified individuals! Nonsense! s/

[catbyte]

28. I can just imagine the nefarious plans that thing has for the U.S. Department of Education.

[Phoenix61]

34. You don't need to imagine. Betsy DeVos already has a plan. mt

[Baitball Blogger]

32. De Santis is a disgrace. Everyone knows he's lowering standards because it's

the only way he can install his incompetent minions.

Making Florida unfit to attract corporations that need educated workers. Florida will become the sweatshop capital of the United States.

[Phoenix61]

35. And the race to the bottom continues. nt

[kimbutgar]

36. Says a guy educated at an Ivy League university.

Talk about bs talking point to the low information stupid voter.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. Advocating for the idiocracy DeSantis?
