Florida officials are threatening to revoke the teaching license of a school superintendent after he criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis

Florida officials are threatening to revoke the teaching license of a school superintendent who criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis, accusing the educator of violating several statutes and DeSantis directives and allowing his “personal political views” to guide his leadership.

Such a revocation by the state Department of Education could allow DeSantis to remove Leon County Superintendent Rocky Hanna from his elected office. The Republican governor did that last year to an elected Democratic prosecutor in the Tampa Bay area who disagreed with his positions limiting abortion and medical care for transgender teens and indicated he might not enforce new laws in those areas.

Disney also sued DeSantis this week, saying he targeted its Orlando theme parks for retribution after it criticized the governor's so-called “Don't Say Gay” law that then banned the discussion of sexuality and gender in early grades, but has since been expanded.

Hanna has publicly opposed that law, once defied the governor's order that barred any mandate that students wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, and criticized a DeSantis-backed bill that recently passed that will pay for students to attend private school. The Leon County district, with about 30,000 students, covers Tallahassee, the state capital, and its suburbs.

13. "Faith" in Sadism.

Fuck their FAKE "Christianity"

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

17. The constant lying about fake christianity grows tiresome

It's not fake. Sadism is a feature of that religion, not a bug, and a feature with a very long history. Do we really need to go into how it treated the Cathars, how it's always treated Jews, or any other group or person who didn't agree with them?

The religion has always promoted sadism, because sadism forms its very core. How is it not the worst and most evil kind of sadism to want to hurt people forever for not agreeing with the religion--a thought crime? We're not talking 5 minutes of hurting people, or a week or a year. We're talking about forever. As in without cease and without end. The christian deity was all in on that one. We know this because he talked about it quite often. You do realize that...right?

People who are actually moral, loving and kind don't follow sadists or belong to any group that promotes sadism and would gladly have sadistic vengeance inflicted on people for 1 second, never mind forever. Only people who are sadists themselves would willingly belong to such a group and follow an actual sadist.

Do the math.

First Amendment. That's just basic Constitutional law.

inevitable First Amendment lawsuit.
