Ron DeSantis is scared of guns???

 UNMasking Ron DeSantis' rational fear of guns at HIS events!

The rest of us? We're on our own.

OPINION

In Defense of Gun Control

House Bill 1543 allows 18-year-olds to own long guns.

Shootem-up Republican Legislators and Governor Let-Them-Die DeSantis want 18-year-olds to own long guns. Folks, that’s AR-15 assault weapons. Not hunting rifles. Killing guns. Guns that kill children and adults in school, on the street, in church, a large facility, the grocery store and even in the home. How about openly carrying a gun? Yep. Need a permit? Of course not. Those same Florida Republican “Thoughts and prayers” Legislators and Governor are all for it. Who votes for this crowd?!

·         March 22^, 2023 a high school student in Denver Colorado shot two faculty members.

·         The United States is the only country that has more civilian-owned guns than people.

Florida’s mass shootings in the past ten years occurred in a nightclub, a high school, an airport and naval base. The Valentine’s Day Massacre that occurred at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high school shocked Florida and the nation.  Students formed the March For Our Lives marches, rallies and protests.

Student activists with March for Our Lives will demonstrate in five U.S. state capitols this week to mark five years since the original marches in the wake of the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida.

DeSantis has a 100% rating with the NRA.  The Governor and Florida Legislature plan to put more long guns in the hands of those under the age of 19. Watch HB 1543 get passed by these clowns.

Google Mass Shootings. You will find facts showing most shootings are done by 18, 19, and 20-year-olds. 18-20-year-olds commit gun violence and homicide three times more than 21-year-olds.

Did the Shootem-up Florida Republican Governor and Legislature leave their intellect at home? Did they forget their oath to defend the people of Florida? Yes. Of course, they did!

       RON DESANTIS IS AFRAID OF THE TRUTH

OPINION

Teachers must rise up and defy the dystopian society Governor Ron DeSantis has visited upon Florida public schools, teachers, administrators, superintendents and school boards. What a beastly regulation indeed!

Mr. Governor Freedom is pandering to the misinformed erudite.  He misrepresents any suggestion of freedom. Freedom is a right. It also gives power. DeSantis distorts our rights assuming he has power over curriculum taught in public schools. He does not. One remembers reading of Hitler changing school curriculum to fit his Aryan-only ideology. DeSantis promotes an ideology of fear. I do not fear this person who cares nothing for students or anyone in Florida unless they buy into his ideology of fear.  He believes fear will obfuscate societal and cultural critical thinking.

·         We learned Manatee County is using Federal COVID funds to purchase “appropriate” books after teachers stripped shelves of their professionally chosen books.

·         Duval County banned the book by Latino baseball great, Roberto Clemente, then reinstated it after this news went nationwide.

·         Banned from Duval County: Letters From The Birmingham Jail by Dr. Martin Luther King. To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Diary of Anne Frank and The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.

·         HB 1467 requires districts to catalog all books in schools. Mr. Governor Freedom denies this fact. Perhaps he doesn’t remember?

Better watch out, preschool teachers. Reading Pat The Bunny to your students might result in banning the book due to the implications about patting.

Kindergarten teachers will think twice about reading, The Little Engine That Could to students.  Cautions believing aspiring to heights beyond your station is acceptable when living Orwell’s 1984.

Threatened classics that may be removed from shelves: Herman Melville, Stephen Crane, Alexis de Tocqueville, Mark Twain, J. R.R. Tolkien, Franz Kafka, Poe, Stowe, Carroll, Morrison, et al. Remember when the Nazis burned classics? Banning and burning books is cowardly.

It is said, “We must be better than the beasts.”
