Florida’s red wave is already wiping out school superintendents across the Sunshine State.
Backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and conservative activist groups, right-leaning candidates have gained control of many major district school boards and are purging prior leadership.
“Parents woke up in the last few years,” a newly elected school board member backed by the conservative Moms for Liberty advocacy group told The Post. “They were exposed to the garbage that has gone on behind closed doors for so many years. That’s finished.”
A trio of superintendents have been shown the campus door in GOP-leaning districts in November alone — and others are now facing calls to resign.
“Anyone surprised by this hasn’t been paying attention,” the school board member said. “COVID policies, porn in school libraries, nonstop ideology, on and on and on. Parents being ignored and insulted. We’ve had it.”
A group of DeSantis-backed school board members booted Broward County Superintendent Vickie Cartwright earlier this month.
The Brevard Country School Board relieved Superintendent Mark Mullins of his post on November 21, asserting district classrooms had devolved into disorder and chaos.
The move even enjoyed the support of the local teachers union, whose members said students no longer feared disciplinary consequences for disruptive or even violent behavior.

Good deal, that’s how it should be. It gets you some independent eyes in the schools when an event requiring a cop happens.
Heh. That’s too funny. I will have to include that in my set of ping-pix.
If it can happen here it can happen in other states. There’s hope.
But I thought DeSantis is deep state! I read it right here at FR!
Proud to say (and brag) that my niece, Megan Wright, is on the board and a participant of Mullins removal!
FRegards!
Excellent!!! Wahooo! The constructors vs the destructors!
Seems like I read a lot of things right here at FR that came out the back end of a bull.
DeoSanctus has a lot of GOPe friends......
Well, since Trump.
You deserve bragging Wrights....and you can Wright to her and tell her we FReepers are delighted she's on the Wright side of the political spectrum !
(Corny, but I couldn't resist....LOL !)
We applaud her!

His Supreme Court picks were pretty solid but that's the Federalist Society making the picks for Cocaine Mitch. Trump just checked off the names that were handed to him. But still Trump should get credit. Roe vs Wade is no longer the law of the land.
Troll ...
Cheers!
DeoSanctus is the Fox News darling. Again he has all the wrong friends.
Like Ye?
BTTT!!
Thanks Leni!
Corn is good!
