And…Stroberger tacitly approves of not just Yenor but the whole garbage program with his silence. Either that, or he fell asleep on the dais again.
Of course Kohler got a little weak in the knees with his “I’ll ask him to justify” remarks that can simply have no justification.
But it was nonetheless a far stronger showing from him than I ever would have dreamed, given that he once exclaimed about DeSantis from the podium, “I love him!” It’s really gratifying to see him coming around to the danger of some of these policies. Lumon May has been a lone voice against some of this lunacy for way too long.
On that note, I’ve never been more grateful for Steven Barry’s presence on the dais than during his remarks that day. There’s just no putting into words the good it did our hearts as we listened to his strong and sensible words. It was a piercing message drawing a very firm line against what all good people recognize to be an outrage, and he delivered it at a time when so many are stubbornly unwilling, or tragically unable, to draw them.
Clearly his words lent encouragement and energy to his peers. Hopefully, their effect will start multiplying, and more area officials will shake off their fears and their fatalism, locate their footing, and start speaking up for what’s right. We desperately need it now.
Thank you so much for continuing to shine a light on this important issue. SAVE UWF picked up on the information you were reporting and with the InWeekly articles, your blog and podcasts, social media, billboards, yard signs, and more media coverage word is spreading!
I am a retired public educator of 26 years, so I’m well aware of government interference in education. It never surprises me to see DeSantis pull a political rabbit out of his governor’s hat. I’ve found DeSantis to have devious motives when it comes to making many of his political “improvements.” This situation at UWF to be typical of his bad decisions.
