Teachers cannot be trusted, and don’t take my word for it, take Commissioner Corcoran's
Little boot Corcoran said of the 185 thousand teachers in Florida’s public schools; none of them can be trusted (see the video above).

Neither has considered that it is their ideas and actions which are driving people away from them.
Speaking of actions, this past session saw an anti-trans bill that called for the inspecting of children's genitalia pass the house. Now the final bill wasn't quite as onerous, but at the end of the day, it was a solution without a problem designed to marginalize and attack an already marginalized group.
