"It worries me" LCS Superintendent Rocky Hana speaking about Schools of Hope. Most of the board expressed their fear and opposition to Schools of Hope in last nights meeting.

We need to be proud of the LCS Board's vocal opposition to these parasites!

Trump & DeSantis love to call this the “the free state of Florida.”

Firing talk show hosts?
Cancelling shows?

That’s not freedom. It’s censorship. We have to call it out.

Yesterday, a late-night show vanished with a simple directive from 2 of the largest media companies you’ve never heard of (Nexstar & Sinclair), backed by the FCC. That’s not “the market at work.” It’s concentrated corporate power cooperating with an authoritarian. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

This #HispanicHeritageMonth, let's appreciate the resilience, joy, and vibrancy of Latino communities across the country, even as some try to spread fear and division. Let's celebrate the contributions of Latino communities across Florida today and every day.

@jenniferjenkins.bsky.social already has a proven track record of success flipping strong Republican districts and is a strong advocate of children and families. She is absolutely the right choice to run against extremist, antivaxxer incumbent Moody!

Brevard Public School Board once again failed to force their superintendent to reconsider hiring former teacher Melissa Calhoun after she was ousted for using a student's preferred name. Member John Thomas' proposed motion failed as no one seconded. Disappointing.
