| 67. I will always remember that is how Jeb did it..made parents feel entitled |
|
that public schools were not good enough for their kids. He held huge rallies in Tallahassee with minorities, and he kept saying they were entitled to a good education as well.
It was planned, it worked. FL gives huge numbers of vouchers to private schools, even though courts have rules against them.
Jeb gave a sense of entitlement....and that is how it is being presented right now.
Destroying public schools deliberately.
