    While this would make a big statement, the real victims would be innocent teenagers. Arguably we should be doing the opposite and trying to get as many of them out of that state as possible.

      I don’t understand why the education curriculum is not set at a federal level. It’s not like 2+2 ever equals 14, no matter what state your from.

        It might be preferable in the current political climate, but think about what might have happened if this was the case 5 years ago.

            Why would you restrict the opportunities of children then? That fucks them over more than the parents, and speaking of which, there are also many non-conservative parents in Florida.

              By not allowing them to receive the basic education requirements to attend college level classes their parents are the ones fucking them over, this would just be a consequence of that…

                I really enjoy how everyone on this platform circlejerks about helping the poor and then advocates fucking over kids who’s parents can’t afford to leave Florida

                    A large section of Floridians do not vote for Ron Desantis and are subject to things like gerrymandering which prevent their votes from mattering in the first place. Most of the people who do vote for these policies are people who place no value whatsoever on education in the first place. Your policy would end up fucking over an entire state based on the actions of a minority of its residents.

                • I really enjoy how people like you feel self-important while doing nothing but complaining.

                  You want to help the kids? Overturn or undermine Desantis’s fucked up policies now, while those kids you’re parading around have a chance. Set up tutoring servers on Discord. Set up online libraries full of banned books and spread the links everywhere. Be the change you want to see in the world. But don’t you dare complain about institutions enforcing basic education standards on its students.

                    Institutions rejecting me because I got my diploma from Florida is a direct threat to my future. It’s not possible for me to do anything about Ron DeSantis other than vote and encourage other people to vote, all of what you’re suggesting involves time and effort which I don’t have and can’t give.

      This part was true. There’s no action that we can take to save them from shit parents if they support this nonsense.
