In addition, there is a far more relevant in the FL Constitution, requiring that education provided by the state be what is called an "equal" education. And, it follows logically, that when a student is in a failing school for example, the state is violating its own obligations as expressly stated in the aforementione clause. Consequently, I think FL will prevail here in FL on this issue, due to the specific description mentioned above. The teachers union president seems unaware of this part of the state constitution.

The public schools can achieve "equality" by ensuring that all public schools are failing their students. If all schools are bad, all student have equal access to eductaion of equivalent quality. Then the argument that the state is failing its obligations to provide equal access to education go right out the window.
Hmmmmm. . .
Think maybe the FEA and NEA already thought about that, and that explains their behavior in supporting education-unfriendly policies?
