Florida Governor Ron DeSantis asserts that politics has no position in the classroom, but Ouster reveals Ron DeSantis’s’ Politics-Free’ school fraud and proves it is prospering on school boards.
On Tuesday night, a local Florida school board exhibited Welcome to DeSantis World with a new conservative majority whose first primary action put politics before kids even as it announced there is no position for politics in the classroom.
By forcing out a highly considerable and resolutely apolitical superintendent, the deciding members of the non-partisan board gave a win not only to Gov. Ron DeSantis but also to former National Security Adviser Gen. Mike Flynn, the Proud Boys, and other Trumpian supporters who have come to call Saratoga home.
The candidates in the primary election who supported Ron DeSantis outside his home state generally didn’t seem well. But if his favor didn’t succeed in putting Joe O’Dea of Colorado, Don Bolduc of New Hampshire, and Mehmet Oz of Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate, Ron was capable of illustrating his prowess as a culture soldier with the election of Bridget Ziegler, Tim Enos, and Robyn Marinelli to the Sarasota County School Board. The three candidates ran as a team, signaled by the first letter of their surnames.
All three of the ZEM spoke at a rally two days before the election held for them at the Sarasota Sahib Shrine Event Center. Their continuous win depicted part of why Florida was one place where a red wave actually happened.
ZEM joined a conservative named Karen Rose and lone liberal Tom Edwards on the five-member board. The three candidates were sworn in on 22nd November at the Venice Performing Arts Center, with Saratoga County School Superintendent Brennan Asplen residing with the gavel, leaving a vote for a new chair. The 4-1 majority selected Ziegler, a co-founder of the right-wing “parental rights” group Moms for Liberty.
Aspen said, “I will pass the gavel.” Ziegler replied, “Thank you… thank you.” Not more than seven minutes, Rose made a motion for a special meeting of the board to be held on 29th November.
Rose said to everyone’s claimed surprise, “I am asking for an agenda item recommending termination of the superintendent’s contract.”
There was an immense crowd as the board agreed to consider the issue. Ziegler sat with the gavel before her and requested that she was totally amazed by her colleagues’ act to fire the highly regarded Aspen. She allowed that she had said during a current evaluation that he “needs improvement” in some matters but only wanted the condemnation to be “absorbed as an opportunity for reflection.” She said she did not foresee the board “potentially firing” him.
She said, “That was never on my radar. But there was a constant drumbeat in the community about it, and I don’t know where it came from. But here we are.” The meetings related to the superintendent’s luck then shifted to the public comment section with a three-minute time limit for a speaker. Many voices approved of removing Asplen. A woman who made herself identified as Ashton Beaudry remarked that a number of voters in the election had expressed a wish for significant change.
She said, “The results were clear in August.”
She said, “These people don’t represent the majority of Sarasota County. That is what you bring, and we’re done.” Many of Aspen’s supporters said that he didn’t get a chance to work with newly elected board officials.
She said, “It just seems so orchestrated from the very beginning. You guys don’t even have hot seats yet. Your butts haven’t been in the seats long enough, and you’re already voting in favor of having a special meeting to fire the superintendent. That’s appalling. You should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you. “
She said, “When you make this decision, do not disrespect or dehumanize our students. Do not claim that this decision is what is best for our students. Do not lie and say that you kept students in mind when you made this decision. Don’t mock us. Don’t lie and claim that you care about your students, your staff, or your teachers in this county. Because if you vote to fire Dr. Asplen, it is abundantly clear that you do not.”
She further said, “If we are taking this step into the county’s future, I demand you be honest,” she said. “Firing Dr. Asplen… is not for the benefit of the vast majority of this county. It is to benefit the political aspirations of our school board members and the politicians who supported them. And it is to benefit the parents and community members in this room who were manipulated into following them.”
DeSantis’ world politicians achieved what they wanted, and in all this, the big losers were the kids, which led the Ousters to reveal Ron DeSantis’ ‘Politics-Free’ Schools fraud.
