This is my husband. He was fired yesterday for teaching that racism exists. Please read his statement. Please help spread the word what Palm Beach Atlantic University has done under the influence of Desantis.

His lawsuit may help get this entire unconstitutional bull crap thrown out!

Lawsuits can be slow and stressful--keep doing what you know is right. Hate does not prevail.

To your husband I say:
✊🏼#RightOn!
💪🏼 #FORZA !
I hope other staff and students
take legal action for this
bait-and-switch approach
to education, falling as they have
at the feet of a demigod.
Stay strong!

History needs to be taught and learned. We don’t want to make the mistakes of the past today! DeSantis wants to ignore the past that is “uncomfortable” for anyone! Crazy! Teach the uncomfortable or it will happen again & worse! Educators are important from the earliest year to our elderly years!

I’m so sorry he has to go through this wicked infringement in his first amendment rights.

I would be very cautious advising students to attend college in FL. Or TX.

Help end the injustice. Do not spend your tourist dollars in Florida, do not schedule conventions or conferences there.

Hate to see this crap happening. Fighting back is the only way. Unfortunately, it drags you and your family into crazy world. This silencing is happening everywhere, but DeSantis is making this ani woke BS the core of his presidential run. I don't see this playing well nationally.

Honest question... I had never heard of PBAU and checked it out. Their page says it is a private university so the state government and DeSantis have no power over what is said or taught there?

May not have power on paper but are definitely influenced by political decisions being made. They all run in the same circles.

I think its application to a private university (or any organization with 15+ employees) is because the bill amends the Florida Civil Rights Act to limit what employees are allowed to discuss in the workplace.

Yes, this, all teachers should join in a class action suit.

This Florida takeover needs to stop. I wish I knew how. Voting is a start but they have rigged everything in their favor.

FL set this in motion before GW Bush and the “hanging chad” fiasco.

Cheers to you for saying so. You took a step. You're not complacent. You're a model. Let's not assume the worst, though, even with voting. As to other options:
1. Support legal challenges.
2. Encourage investigative journalism.
3. Protest as able/safe to.
4. Boycott/use economic leverage.

I'm sorry you guys are going thru this. I'm really glad he's going to fight.
I also feel terrible for all the kids whose leaders are making sure that they'll be uninformed & ignorant.

This is what it has come to. Treating educators like Public Enemy #1 ? I’m so sorry for what happened to your husband. They’re creating severe teacher shortages EVERYWHERE! I hope these morons are happy with the mockery they are making of education! Such an insult to educators. #DeSantisDestroysFlori

So sorry this has happened to your husband. He is courageous for continuing to fight this outrageous injustice. Sending positive energy to you and your husband 🫶🏼

There is already a severe teacher shortage here. You don’t even need a degree to teach. These universities won’t push back until it effects their bottom line. I wish every single teacher elementary and up could go on strike until they get the message, but I realize that is unrealistic financially.

I was so glad when Scott ended his governorship only to discover DeSantis was far, far worse. I hope he faces thousands of lawsuits for his intrusions and destructions of public education.

This is where we are, teaching truth has become an offensive act that can get you terminated. This is what they meant by making Amerikkka great again, as if it ever was! 😡😡😡😡

You tell him good for him for fighting back and sue the ignorance right the fuck out of them.
